History
Northeastern University School of Law was founded by the Boston Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in 1898. It started as a series of evening law courses, the first in Boston, and was incorporated as an LL.B.-granting law school, the Evening School of Law of the Boston YMCA, in 1904. Additional campuses were opened in Worcester (1917), Springfield (1917), and Providence, Rhode Island (1920). It was renamed Northeastern University School of Law in 1922 and started admitting women. The school closed in 1956 due to declining enrollment and financial difficulties. It reopened in 1968 with Cooperative Legal Education at the heart of its approach to experience-based learning.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
