Talk:Charles Evans Hughes

Retirement or resignation?

On List of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, it says retirement. On this page, it says resignation. What's true? -- Toytoy July 2, 2005 03:22 (UTC)

For the Supreme Court, very often a resignation IS a retirement!

League of Nations

I cut the following sentence from the article: "He did not, however, exert himself on behalf of the United States' adhering to the League of Nations during his service as Secretary of State." The United States didn't ratify the Treaty of Versailles, and has no obligations under that Treaty to the League. Further, he served at State in the Harding administration, which was elected on an isolationist platform. As such. I fail to see the relevance of the statement to Mr. Hughes' career.

Fraternity

The article mentions Hughes' college fraternity three times, though I'm not sure it's significant enough to mention even once. Most likely a proud member of the same frat wanted to make a point, but I think he overdid it. I don't want to take it out unilaterally, since it's possible that Hughes' involvement is more historically important than I realize. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Sounds like a plug for the fraternity.

Memberships in Social Fraternities are actually irrelevant to the Wikipedia or any other kind of an encyclopedia. Mentioning those things is silly. On the other hand, memberships in academic honorary fraternities like Tau Beta Pi and Phi Beta Kappa are highly relevant, and memberships in service fraternities are somewhat relevant.

Relevancy is in the eyes of the reader. You may think it irrelevant, but this attitude is by no means universal. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:52, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Bot-created subpage

A temporary subpage at User:Polbot/fjc/Charles Evans Hughes was automatically created by a perl script, based on this article at the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges. The subpage should either be merged into this article, or moved and disambiguated. Polbot (talk) 00:16, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Early Life

"Charles Evans Hughes was born on April 11, 1862 in Glens Falls, New York. In 1859, his family had moved to New York City, where his mother enrolled him in a private school. "

This passage does not seem to make sense. Hughes was born in 1862 (which is true) but was somehow enrolled in school in 1859? Perhaps I am not reading this correctly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick33180 (talk • contribs) 20:16, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Refs

This needs a lot of cleaning up with the references. I cleaned up the section Governor of New York, but there's still more clutter in other sections, especially the Supreme Court section--Wikigold96 (talk) 20:16, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Odd and strange grammar

The contraction "it's" was used FIVE TIMES, when the word "its" was needed. People need to learn that "it's" is a contaction of "it is", but "its" is a singular possessive pronoun. Egad.

Various Appointments

In 1917, Hughes was appointed to The Rockefeller Board of Trustees.The Rockefeller Annual Report 1917. Available at http://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/uploads/files/942a2c79-106f-4641-bb1a-703e6b699f19-1917.pdf Pages 8, 55. Accessed 21 Jul 2014 Nature114 (talk) 18:40, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Copyvio

I've removed a large swath of material that was reported to OTRS as having been directly lifted from an article by James Henretta in the Law and History Review from Spring 2006 (Vol 24, No. 1, pages 115-171). Obviously we cannot be pasting this much text directly, but it is a valuable resource that can be used to expand the section with proper paraphrasing and attribution. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Charles E. Hughes Education

I recently purchased an October 16, 1930 Supreme Court letterhead TLS written by Charles E. Hughes to Mr. E. F. Weck, Secretary of the A.N. Marquis Company, stating:

Dear Mr. Weck:

I have received your letter of October 14th, and I appreciate your careful attention to the correction in my sketch in the 1930-31 edition of Who's Who in America. I did not know the that the name o:University of the City of New York" has been legally changed. Of course credit in the matter of the degree of D.C.L should be given to "New York University" as you suggest. Very sincerely yours, Charles E. Hughes
