The Anglo-Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925, acquired a reputation as the greatest dramatist in the English language during the first half of the 20th Century for the plays he had written at the height of his creativity from "Mrs. Warren's Profession" in 1893 to "The Apple Cart" in 1929. His works have been revived on Broadway from 1894 to 2010. His most famous work in the 21st Century is My Fair Lady (1964), the musical adaptation of Pygmalion (1938).
A Shavian drama (his reputation was so great, he had his own adjective ascribed to his works) had a biting social critique leavened by humor. According to his Nobel Prize citation, "His ideas were those of a somewhat abstract logical radicalism; hence they were far from new, but they received from him a new definiteness and brilliance. In him these ideas combined with a ready wit, a complete absence of respect for any kind of convention, and the merriest humor - all gathered together in an extravagance which has scarcely ever before appeared in literature."
He was a major international celebrity and a force in British politics, being a charter member of the Fabian Society. The Fabians were committed to democratic socialism, that is, using parliamentary mechanisms to encourage a gradual adoption of socialist policies through political reform rather than revolution.- Ella Boole was born on 26 July 1858 in Van Wert, Ohio, USA.

Conductor Serge Koussevitsky was born in Vyshni Volochek, Russia, on July 26, 1874. As a child he studied music in Moscow, mainly the double bass, and it wasn't long before he was considered a virtuoso on the instrument; while still a teenager he gave concerts not only in Russia but in Germany and England.
In addition to studying music, he also studied conducting. He made his debut as a conductor in Berlin in 1908. The next year he organized his own orchestra in Moscow and later that year started a music publishing company, which eventually published works by Sergei Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff and other notable composers. In the years between 1910 and 1914 he and his orchestra toured small towns up and down the Volga River, bringing to many of the residents the type of music that they had never heard before.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Koussevitsky was appointed director of the State Symphony Orchestra in Petrograd (later renamed Leningrad). He left Russia in 1920 for Paris to organize concerts; he stayed in France until 1924, when he moved to the US and settled in Boston, where he was hired to lead the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He remained its conductor and director until he retired in 1949 (he became an American citizen in 1941). Over the 25 years he was in Boston he was responsible for the premieres of the works of many major American composers, such as Aaron Copland and Walter Piston.
In 1934 he began the annual Berkshire Symphonic Festival (now known as the Berkshire Festival), a series of outdoor concerts by the Boston Symphony. Starting in 1938 the concerts were held in Tanglewood, an estate in Lenox, Massachusetts. In 1940 he founded the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood, a summer school where promising musical students would work with and be taught by prominent musicians.
He died in Boston on June 4, 1951.- Carl Gustav Jung was born in Kessewil, Switzerland, on July 26, 1875. His father Paul was a rural preacher, and began to teach his son Latin when Carl was six years old, stoking his interest in language and literature (Jung was later able to read most European languages and several ancient ones, such as Sanskrit). He was not a particularly good student because he did not like the regimentation of school and was especially averse to competition (at boarding school in Basel he developed a habit of fainting under pressure).
After graduating he attended the University of Basel intending to major in archeology, but developed an interest in medicine and studied under renowned neurologist Richard von Krafft-Ebing. As a result, he decided on a career in psychiatry. Upon graduation from the university, he took a job in a Zurich mental hospital and began to specialize in the study and treatment of schizophrenia. He began to teach classes at the University of Zurich, and in addition started his own private practice. It was during this time that he developed what is known today as the system of word association.
Jung had long been an admirer of the famed Sigmund Freud, and in 1907 the two met in Vienna. They connected from the beginning, and Freud came away from the meeting convinced that Jung was at the top of the field in psychoanalysis and his "heir apparent". Jung, however, was not entirely convinced that Freud's theories were correct, and it wasn't long before matters came to a head. During a 1909 trip to the United States, things soured and Freud broke off their relationship.
The era of World War I was a painful one for Jung personally, but his professional career flowered and it was during this period that he developed his famous theory of personality. After the war he traveled extensively throughout the world, spending much time among primitive tribal societies in Africa and India and visiting and studying many Native American tribes in the U.S.
Jung retired in 1946, and after the death of his wife in 1955 he became somewhat reclusive. He died in Zurich, Switzerland, on June 6, 1961. - Carl Iban was born on 26 July 1875. He was an actor, known for Der Bettelstudent (1936), Mach' mich glücklich (1935) and Kora Terry (1940). He died on 6 October 1940.
