Happy Birthday, Lewis Carroll

Today marks the 176th anniversary of the birth of mathematics professor and children's writer Lewis Carroll (real name: Charles Lutwidge Dodson). Were he alive, perhaps he'd show up at the Mad Hatter Tea Party in his honor hosted at the Lewis and Clark Public Library in Helena, Montana 1:30-2:30 p.m. (MST) today. In a familiar biography, Carroll's nephew said of his uncle that he was a "...prim...rather starched man and extremely eccentric...but underlying it all was the truest love for children." See immediately prior posting for some illustrative quotes from Carroll. Enjoy them as you're humming Happy Birthday to the Good Professor.
