Gerard E. Lynch, U.S. Court of Appeals Judge for the Second Circuit. His address, entitled "Copyright, Creativity and the First Amendment," was accompanied by a presentation of a compendium of responses obtained by Morris Ernst in 1932 from librarians and booksellers throughout the United States, to assist in the defense of United States vs. One Book Called Ulysses.
