Admitted

During the past fortnight, the Nation's press has vociferously applauded two ambitious young barristers. Miss Susan Brandeis, daughter of Mr. Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis of the U. S. Supreme Court, and Charles P. Taft II, son of Mr. Chief Justice William Howard Taft, have been admitted to practice before the highest court in the land. To qualify for this prerogative, a barrister must have been admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of his state, must be introduced by someone already admitted. Hundreds of lawyers, spurred by the demands of their business, qualify every year without kudos.

Taft. Charles P. Taft II, Cincinnati, attended his uncle's "Taft School" at Watertown, Conn., attended Yale College, where he played tackle on the famed football eleven of 1916, captained by "Cupid" Black. Later he attended Yale Law School. His name was presented to the Court last week by James M. Beck, U. S. Solicitor General.

Brandeis. Miss Susan Brandeis, Manhattan, was educated at Bryn Mawr College, schooled in law at Chicago University. She is third partner in the law firm of Kirsch, Edelman and Brandeis. She scorns feminine foibles in dress and manner, works hard, studies harder, plays little. On levity, on publicity, she pours disdain. She sits late, rises early. As special assistant district attorney she prosecuted anti-trust cases for the State of New York. "My daughter," says Justice Brandeis, "is a self-made man."
