Aleandre Gustave Eiffel was born in Dijon, France on this date in 1832. He is of course known for the tower that bears his name.

"Can one think that because we are engineers, beauty does not preoccupy us or that we do not try to build beautiful, as well as solid and long lasting structures? Aren't the genuine functions of strength always in keeping with unwritten conditions of harmony? ...

Musician Dave Clark of The Dave Clark Five is celebrating his 69th birthday today.
The Dave Clark Five was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
