[edit] 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)
[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.
