A Precocious Prodigy


Restless and unable to stay still during his father’s prolonged Baptist sermons, future Justice Charles Evans Hughes was provided this small wooden Windsor rocking chair so he could move without being too disruptive. An avid reader, his father put together a library for him to enjoy throughout his childhood. Reportedly unhappy with the slow pace of public school, Hughes convinced his parents to homeschool him at the age of six. He enrolled at Madison University (now Colgate) at only 14 years old, ultimately graduating from Brown University in 1881 and Columbia Law School in 1884. He went on to become a skilled orator, journalist, and brilliant legal mind. Hughes served on the Supreme Court as an Associate Justice from 1910 to 1916, and as Chief Justice from 1930 to 1941.
