He Taught Presidents 
ALONG in June 1775, some twenty youthful Virginians opened up their own 
little war on Great Britain by raiding the royalist arsenal in the house of 
Lord Dunmore. 
Benjamin Harrison was one of them. James Monroe another. Still another was 
George Wythe, a brilliant young lawyer. They formed a military company and 
started drilling. But Wythe, whose work in the Virginia Burgesses had marked 
him for afar greater career, was soon drafted out of the ranks, and sent to Philadelphia 
to sign the Declaration. 
Independence won, Wythe grew into a great judge and noted teacher. In his law 
classes at William and Mary studied many of the leaders of the next generation, 
including two, who became Presidents. Also John Marshall, the famous Chief 
Justice. And, for four years, the amanuensis in Wythe’s court was the redoubtable 
Henry Clay. 
Thus, one boy, who, by the way, got his own lessons from an able mother after 
filtering along in the country schools, became a vital link in the greatest traditions 
of American public life.
