Judge Baldwin related that Marshall, subsequent to his service in the Continental army, was a member of the first law class in the college of William and Mary, taught by Chancel- Tor Whighte Said Judge Baldwin: 1.-The Yale Law school may point to Marshall as a proof that it's policy has not been unwiSe in refusing to lay 1,l; ;.I,o SD SiS ter law schools, that only college grad uates can be admitted. Marshall was not a college graduate, but brought to his profession a mind well disciplined in the school of life and native fac ulty that the college can never gtye,- though it may improve
