One of my favorite factoids of all time... once upon a time, applicants to the Pennsylvania Bar were required to meet the following requirements:
"No person shall be registered as a student at law for the purpose of becoming entitled to admission to the Bar of the Supreme Court until he shall have satisfied the State Board of Law Examiners that he is of good moral character, and shall have passed a preliminary examination upon the following subjects: (1) English language and literature; (2) Outlines of universal history; (3) History of England and of the United States; (4) Arithmetic, algebra through quadratics, and plane geometry; (5) Modern geography; (6) The first four books of Caesar's Commentaries, the first six books of the Aeneid, and the first four orations of Cicero against Cataline."
Admittedly, 110 odd years later this member of the PA bar has no clue whether the subject of "wage slavery" was included among "the first four orations of Cicero against Cataline."
Guess I have some reading to do.
