Charles Evans Hughes. Hughes received much of his early education at home, before attending Madison University (now Colgate University) from 1876 to 1878. He then transferred to Brown University, where he graduated in 1881, and he received a law degree with honors from Columbia University School of Law in 1884. Hughes served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (1910–16), U.S. secretary of state (1921–25), and 11th chief justice of the United States (1930–41). As chief justice he led the Supreme Court through the great controversy arising over the New Deal legislation of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
