Judge Nolen Hits At Law School for 'New Philosophy'

Judge James R. Nolen of the Ware District Court lashed out at the Harvard Law School in a speech delivered Wednesday night, accusing it of "foisting on the American people a philosophy that is neither Christian, American, nor decent."

Addressing the Boston University Law School Association's annual dinner in the Parker House, Nolen vigorously attacked "a competitive Law School." After his speech, however, he admitted to reporters that the Law School to which he was referring was Harvard.

Restore Real Philosophy

Nolen appealed to graduates of the Boston University Law School to "help restore the real philosophy of America." He added that "I don't know of a single Boston University graduate who is so embedded in this new philosophy that he would dare to enter a court as a character witness for Alger Hiss."

For 15 years, he commented, the Harvard Law School has been "foisting" on the American people, with some success, this "new philosophy." Calling on Boston University's students and alumni, he said. "It is time that we of the B. U. Law School who are taught the American way of life, should help bring back the Americanism of which we are proud."
