will you recite the facts
of Hawkins vs. McGee?
I do have your name right?
You are Mr. Hart?
Yes, my name is Hart.
You're not speaking
loud enough, Mr. Hart.
Will you speak up?
Yes, my name is Hart.
Mr. Hart, you're still
not speaking loud enough.
Will you stand?
Now that you're
on your feet, Mr. Hart...
maybe the class will be
able to understand you.
You are on your feet?
Yes, I'm on my feet.
Loudly, Mr. Hart.
Fill this room with
your intelligence.
Now, will you give us
the facts of the case?
I haven't read the case.
Class assignments
for the first day...
are posted on
the bulletin boards...
in Langdell
and Austin Halls.
You must have
known that.
No.
would be a lecture...
an introduction
to the course.
Yes, sir.
Never assume anything
in my classroom.
Mr. Hart, I will myself give
you the facts of the case.
Hawkins vs. McGee
is a case in contract law...
the subject of our study.
The boy burned his hand by
touching an electric wire.
experiment in skin grafting...
asked to operate on the hand...
guaranteeing that
He took a piece of skin
from the boy's chest...
and grafted it onto
the unfortunate boy's hand.
The operation failed
Instead it produced
a hairy hand.
A hand not only burned...
but covered with
dense, matted hair.
Mr. Hart...
what damages do you think
What did the doctor promise?
There was a promise
to fix the hand...
back to the way it was
before it was burned.
And the result
of the operation?
The hand was much worse than
before he went to the doctor.
How should the court
measure the damages?
What should the doctor
pay the boy?
The doctor should...
for what he did...
and he should pay
for the difference...
between what the boy had...
a burned hand...
and what the doctor
gave him, a...
Mr. Pruit.
That's just
the screamer, men.
Screams every Friday and Sunday
night at exactly 12:00.
It's all right.
Nobody's ever seen him.
Not that I know of.
It's my third year now, and he's
Right at the stroke of 12:00.
Story is it was Kingsfield.
Kingsfield drove him mad.
He's driven a lot of lawyers
mad over the 40 years...
since he's
been teaching here.
a one-L this morning...
so bad that the guy
lost his breakfast.
That's true.
That was me.
Hardly
a propitious start.
Well, let's see,
I guess I covered...
everything I'm supposed
to tell you about the dorm.
There's no cooking.
No hot plates.
There's intramural
football and basketball...
if you have the time.
Where's the pool?
It's across the square
behind Holyoke Center.
You a swimmer?
No. Just relaxes me.
There's one more thing.
All that stuff
about grades is true.
You gotta work
like hell. No kidding.
Nobody jokes
about grades.
Try getting a job
without them.
you don't have the grades.
Don't think you're made
'cause you go to Harvard.
Maybe I better
start studying then.
That's it. Study.
If there's any law around
the dorm, that's it.
That's the main rule.
Remember, I'm here to answer
your questions, so just ask.
And I'm the only third-year
student you can trust...
so talk to me.
Okay. Thanks a lot.
Right. So long.
My name's Ford.
I'm across the hall.
I knocked, but
you didn't hear me.
Hi. My name's Hart.
I came to ask you
to join my study group.
What's a study group?
