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:
“To history therefore I must refer for answer, in which it would be an unhappy passage indeed, which should shew by what fatal indulgence of subordinate views and passions, a contest for an atom had defeated well founded prospects of giving liberty to half the globe.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
