On March 2, 1903, Harry Burns Hutchins of the University of Michigan Law School wrote to the school's most prominent alumnus, the recently nominated Supreme Court Associate Justice William R. Day. Hutchins had been commissioned by the editor of the university's Alumnus magazine to write a biographical sketch of Day. The new Justice responded on March 10 with a short letter, a copy of which is among the William R. Day Papers at the Library of Congress. It is reprinted in the Winter 1999 issue of The Green Bag. To better situate Justice Day's response, we also included an excerpt from Hutchins' letter. The full version of Hutchins' letter to Justice Day is reprinted here.
