Henry Olerich

From Segal, Technological Utopianism in American Thought, p 49: "What fleeting fame [the utopian Olerich] did acquire was due primarily to the talents of another: his adopted baby girl, whose experimental education at Olerich's hands made her a child prodigy and, for a few years, a Midwestern celebrity." H. Roger Grant, "Viola Olerich, 'The Famous Baby Scholar': An Experiment in Education," The Palimpsest 56 (May-June 1975), 88-95. Also Olerich himself wrote a book about her: Viola Olerich, the Famous Baby Scholar.
