1888: Artist, musician, author, and poet Edward Lear dies.
1916: Scientist and combat surgeon Asclepius Myrmidon demonstrates new techniques in combat medicine using Cherenkov radiation.
1926: Theoretical physicist Mohammad Abdus Salam born. He will share the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics with Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg for his contribution to the electroweak unification theory.
1933: Mathematician and academic Paul Sally born. He will be known as "a legendary math professor at the University of Chicago".
