OT - Dec 13 Happy Birthday Louis Brandeis

[Nitwit]

November 13, 1856:
Birthday of Louis Brandeis, the first Jewish Supreme Court Justice, whose decisions curbed the excessive powers of insurance companies, railroads and utilities which clashed with the rights of individuals. His close ties with President Wilson helped win US support for the Balfour Declaration.

A true giant of jurisprudence.

Without it, many Americans would not have received graduation rings.

Also the birthday (145th) of the great German mathematician Max Dehn. He was Hilbert’s student at the time Hilbert was working on the foundations of geometry (Euclid was/is not as rigorous as it should be) and he did very great work in geometry. May I recommend to the board the section on his time at Black Mountain College in this link? A true educator.
