Who is Dean Schlichter and where does his math quote come from?

[matematikawan]

The following quotation from Dean Schlicter is an inspiration

"Go down deep enough into anything and you will find mathematics."


But who is Dean Schlicter. I don't see much information about him on the internet except for that quotation.

Do someone have knowledge about him?

There was a Dean Charles Schlichter at Berkeley, and also at Wisconsin …

but no indication of any connection with the quotation.

It rather looks as if the quotation is invented.​

That's a pity. It could have been a great service to mathematic if it had come from a famous scientist.

According to the book Mathematically Speaking - A Dictionary of Quotation, this is quoted in The Mathematics Teacher, Jan. 1936, Vol. XXIX, no. 1 p29.

Dean Charles Schlichter?

According to the book Mathematically Speaking - A Dictionary of Quotation, this is quoted in The Mathematics Teacher, Jan. 1936, Vol. XXIX, no. 1 p29.

hmm … we still don't know who he is, though …

The dictionary, at http://books.google.com/books?id=4a...ge&q="The Future of Geometry" Joseph&f=false").

The best guess seems to be Charles Schlichter, dean of the graduate school of the nearby University of Wisconsin in the 1920s … see http://books.google.com/books?id=jJ...="Dean Charles Schlichter" Wisconsin&f=false".

Does anyone have a copy of volume XXIX of The Mathematics Teacher?
