October 10, 1949.Harvard Law School, founded in 1817, announced it would accept female

applicants for the first time, The Times reported. In his statement about the decision,

Erwin N. Griswold, dean of Harvard Law, said the school expected to admit “only a small

number of unusually qualified women students for the present, at least.” Two of the four

women who have served on the Supreme Court attended Harvard Law: Justice Ruth

Bader Ginsburg, who spent two years at the school (1956-58) before graduating from

Columbia Law School, and Justice Elena Kagan (1986 graduate).
