This Guy Looks Very Smart



Some people just have an air about them. A smart air. A smair. Turns out this dude is smart. His name is Alfred Holbrook (1816-1909), I call him Al. He was the President of the National Normal University* in Lebanon, Ohio from its founding in 1855 until 1897.


Don't confuse Al Holbrook with actor Hal Holbrook, who is married to Dixie Carter. Of Designing Women fame.

*National Normal University? They don't take my kind.

Someone has been listening to too much Kings of Leon and for that reason, thinks this guy is hot.

Hot + dead = quiet and that's how we like 'em.

you read my mind, I was thinking of Hal Holbrook.

he kind of looks like Mr. Lincoln but maybe they all looked alike back then?

I'm pretty sure this is Lionel Luther.
