Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., son of the famous writer and physician by the same name. Holmes, a graduate of Harvard Law School, was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1902, and approved unanimously by the Senate on December 4 of that year. He served on the bench until 1932.
Holmes was well-known for his short, oft-quoted, and well-written opinions, which were frequently in dissent with the majority opinion. For this reason, his contemporaries referred to him as "The Great Dissenter," a label that has been applied to several justices over the years.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt nominated Associate Justice Harlan Fiske Stone, who originally joined the Court in 1925, to succeed Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes upon his retirement at the end of the 1940-41 Term. Stone, born in 1872, was 69 years old when he became the 12th Chief Justice of the United States on July 3, 1941.
On April 22, 1946, Chief Justice Stone died of a stroke in open court, while presenting his dissenting opinion in Girouard v. United States, 328 US 61 (1946). The only Chief Justice to serve a shorter term was John Rutledge, who presided over the Court from July through December, 1795.
