Abstract
Speaking in Louisville, Kentucky, before Mississippi Valley Historical Association, Judge Friendly noted in preface that Mr. Justice Brandeis had, throughout his life, kept Louisville deep in his heart, never forgetting place of his birth and early childhood. His keen concern in development of University of Louisville, for example, provided a lasting source of satisfaction. Yet, despite temptation to essay an interpretation of Justice in terms of influence of frontier, such a thesis must be discarded because there is no evidence to support it. The major influences on Brandeis' early development came not from life of Louisville, but from his parents, who drew their intellectual stimulus from remarkable group of immigrants, mainly from Bohemia, that included names of Brandeis, Dembitz, Wehle, Flexner and Taussig; from the formative year and a half that Brandeis spent at Annen-Realschule in Dresden; from great teachers of Harvard Law School, which Brandeis entered only four years after Langdellian revolution; and from influence of Emerson which he encountered in Cambridge.
