Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“[s]ince at least 1958, when Ludley v. Board of Supervisors, Louisiana State University, [ 150 F.Supp. 900 (E.D.La.1957), aff 'd, 252 F.2d 372 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 358 U.S. 819 , 79 S.Ct. 31 , 3 L.Ed.2d 61 (1958),] was decided_ If the Board had any doubt about it, that doubt should have been resolved in 1959 when a similar requisite of the University of Georgia was held to be unconstitutional. Hunt v. Arnold, [ 172 F.Supp. 847 (N.D.Ga.1959).] We regard the continued insistence on the requirement as demonstrable evidence of a State and University policy of segregation that was applied to Meredith.”
