    The authors prove Bernstein-type theorems for complete minimal surfaces bounded by lines in \({\mathbb{R}}^ 3.\) For example, if M is a complete minimal surface whose interior is a graph over a square J in the (x,y) plane, and if the boundary of M is composed of the four vertical lines over the vertices of J, then M is Scherk's surface.
