edicafion For a number of years Louis D. Brandeis, despite his many timefconf suming duties as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, has in countless ways shown his interest in the university of his native city. His contributions to the University Library and to the School of Law, in par' ticular, have shown him to be one of the outstanding benefactors not only of the University, but the City of Louisville as well. The 1939 Thoroughbred is accordingly dedicated to the Honorable Louis D. Brandeis, as a token of appreciation for his invaluable and never' tofbefforgotten services to the University of Louisville. Now that he has retired from that tribunal upon which he served the American people and to which he brought great honor, the staff of The Thoroughbred cordially wishes him long years of health and happiness.
