“I had to borrow money for my wedding garb. The only two things in life that are certain are debt and tuxes.”
Christine Ladd-FranklinBorn 1 Dec 1847; died 5 Mar 1930 at age 82.(née Ladd) American scientist and logician known for contributions to the theory of colour vision accounting for the development of man's color sense which countered the established views of Helmholtz, Young, and Hering. Her position was that color-sense developed in stages. Ladd- Franklin's conclusions were particularly useful in accounting for color-blindness in some individuals. In logic, she published an original method for reducing all syllogisms to a single formula (1883) |
