I was very surprised I've never heard of Alexandre Vattamare before this year.
Not because he was a "philanthropist who created the first international system for the exchange of items among libraries and museums. " but because this part is right up my alley of interests:
"was refused a diploma after making cadavers seem to speak during surgical exercises."
