We’ve reached the endpoint of our third seminar speaker competition. High seeds J. R. R. Tolkien, Miles Davis, David Bowie, Dr. Seuss, Hammurabi, Judas, Martha Stewart, and Yo-Yo Ma fell by the wayside—certainly, Davis, Judas, and Ma didn’t even get to spherical 2!—; unseeded heavyweight Isaac Newton misplaced in spherical 3; and dark-horse favorites James Naismith, Henry Winkler, Alison Bechdel, and J. Robert Lennon couldn’t make the end line both.
What we have now is 2 beloved and long-lived kids’s e-book authors. Cleary was extra prolific, however possibly solely as a result of she bought began at a youthful age. Impish Ramona or critical Laura . . . who’s it gonna be?
Both means, I assume it’s going to go higher than this, from a number of years in the past:

That was the one time I’ve heard of a speaker who’s so necessary that you need to apply to attend his seminar!

Previous matchup
Wilder confronted Sendak within the final semifinal. Dzhaughn wrote:
This will probably be a very tight match up.
Sendak has received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award. But nobody has received extra Maurice Sendak Awards than Wilder. And he or she was useless when he received it.
Maurice Sendak’s paid for his faculty by working at FAO Schwarz. That’s Large, isn’t it?
The Anagram Division notices “Serial Lulling Award,” not a superb signal for a seminar speaker. “American Dukes” and “Armenia Sucked” are hardly high notch, however much less ominous.
So, I provide you with a slim edge to Sendak however I hope there’s a higher motive.
“Serial Lulling Award” . . . that’s certainly regarding!
Raghu affords some ideas, which, though ineffective for figuring out who to advance to the ultimate spherical, are a lot within the spirit of this competitors that I’ll repeat them right here:
This morning I completed my few-page-a-day studying of the biography of basketball inventor and first-round loser James Naismith, and I used to be struck once more by how well-suited he’s to this match:
“It was shortly after seven o’clock, and the meal was over. He added briskly, ‘Let me present you a number of the statistics I’ve collected about accidents in sports activities. I’ve bought them in my examine.’ He began to rise from the desk and fell again into his chair. Ann acknowledged the signs. A cerebral hemorrhage had struck her father.” — “The Basketball Man, James Naismith” by Bernice Larson Webb
Statistics! Sports activities! Medical inference!
I’m not, nevertheless, suggesting that the foundations be bent; I’ve had sufficient of Naismith.
I completed Sendak’s “Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or, There Should Be Extra to Life” — this solely took me quarter-hour or so. It’s surreal, amoral, and interesting, and I ought to learn extra by Sendak. Wilder is neither surreal nor amoral, although as I feel I famous earlier than, after I was a child I discovered descriptions of enjoying ball with pig bladders as weird as science fiction. I don’t know who that’s a vote for.
I discover it laborious to learn a e-book a number of pages a day. I can do it for awhile, however in some unspecified time in the future I both lose curiosity and cease, or I need to discover out what occurs subsequent so I simply end the rattling e-book.
Diana affords a linguistic argument:
Afterthought and correction: The “n” needs to be thought of a nasal and never a liquid, so Laura Ingalls Wilder has 5 liquids, a nasal, a fricative, a glide, and two plosives, whereas Maurice Sendak has two nasals, a liquid, two fricatives, and two plosives (and, when you depend his center title, three nasals, three liquids, two fricatives, and 4 plosives). So Wilder’s title really has the higher number of consonants, given the glide, however in Sendak’s title the assorted varieties are higher balanced and slightly extra spill-resistant.
OK, sippy cups. Not so related for a chat at Columbia, although, provided that there will probably be only a few toddlers within the viewers.
Anon affords what would possibly seem at first to be a killer argument:
For those who have a look at the chart, you possibly can fairly clearly discover that the bracket is barely as huge as it’s due to Laura Ingalls Wilder’s prodigious title. I’ve bought to throw my hat within the ring for Sendak, merely for storage.
+1 for speaking about storage—optimization isn’t nearly CPU time!—however this length-of-name argument reeks of sexism. In a much less conventional society, Laura wouldn’t have had so as to add the Wilder to her title, and plain previous “Laura Ingalls,” that’s a mere 13 characters huge, and two of them are lower-case l’s, which take up little or no house (cue Ramanujan right here). Alison Bechdel’s out of the competitors now, however she’s nonetheless trying over my shoulder, because it had been, scanning for this type of bias.
And Ben affords a constructive case for the pioneer lady:
There’s some type of libertarian angle with Wilder although proper?
What if we instructed Wilder about bitcoin and defi and whatnot? Certainly that qualifies as surreal and amoral in probably the most entertaining type of means. I do know speaking about this stuff in any context is a bit performed out at this level however c’mon. This isn’t some drained previous movie star we’re promoting right here! That is writer of an American basic, from the grave — any means she hits that ball is gonna be humorous.
Sounds good to me!
