Saint Vincent de Paul History
Society of St. Vincent de Paul An international association of Catholic lay persons engaging systematically in personal service of the poor. The Society was founded in May, 1833, when eight young men, students at the Sorbonne, assembled in the office of the "Tribune Catholique" to formulate plans for the organization of a society whose objective would be to minister to the needs of the Parisian poor. The master-mind who conceived the project, which was destined to make an indelible impression upon the history of modern charity work, was Frederic Ozanam, a brilliant young Frenchman, lawyer, author and professor at the Sorbonne. With Ozanam's name must be linked that of Mr. Joseph Bailly, editor of the "Tribune Catholique". Mr. Bailly became the first president of the society, and provided wise and fatherly counsel to properly direct the activities of his more youthful associates. The society's establishment was due partly to the desire of the founders to furnish a practical refutation of the reproaches directed against Christianity by the followers of Saint-Simon, Fourier, and other popular teachers of the day. "Show us your works!" taunted the St. Simonians. "We admit the past grandeur of Christianity, but the tree is now dead and bears no fruit." To this taunt Ozanam and his companions retorted by forming themselves into a Conference of Charity. Later they adopted the name "The Society of St. Vincent de Paul", in honour of St. Vincent de Paul, a priest of the early 1600's, who had devoted his life to founding charitable organizations to meet the needs of the poor and less fortunate.

http://litterature01.chez.tiscali.fr/Ozanam/Ozanam.html
JACQUES OZANAM
Mathématicien français, né à Bouligneux en 1640; mort à Paris le 3 avril, 1717. Il est issu d'une famille riche qui avait renoncé à la religion juive pour le catholicisme. Bien qu'il ait commencé l'étude de la théologie sur le souhait de son père, il était plus fortement attiré par les mathématiques, qu'il a maîtrisées sans aide d'un professeur.
À l'âge de quinze il écrit un traité mathématique. A la mort de son père, il renoncé à la théologie après quatre ans d'études et donne des cours de mathématiques dans une institution privée. Il semble également que ses supérieurs du séminaire où il fut élève, lui enjoignirent de stopper ses recherches en math.
Exemple d'apostasie scientifique, Jacques Ozanam écrivit : "Il appartient aux Docteurs de la Sorbonne de disputer, au pape de prononcer et au mathématicien d'aller en Paradis en ligne perpendiculaire".
Dans toute son œuvre, à la rigueur de ses mathématiques, il ne manqua jamais d'ajouter une pointe d'anticléricalisme, parfois de bon aloi mais souvent virulent. A maintes reprises, il se moqua de l'Église.
A titre d'exemple, voici l'un de ces problèmes d'arithmétique : "Comment doivent s'y prendre 24 religieuses réparties en huit cellules de trois autour d'un carré pour recevoir la nuit 3 hommes sans que la supérieure, qui compte les présences par rangée, s'en aperçoive".

His parents accuse the Jesuits of having abducted him. The Parliament of Paris ordains his release. Nevertheless, he continues to study theology in Jesuit colleges, at Nancy, and then at Pont-à-Mousson. In 1614 or 1615, he begins his career as a professor of mathematics, at Pont-à-Mousson. He stays at Pont-à-Mousson till 1627. He observes the comet of 1618, and he writes a booklet about it, printed at Pont-à-Mousson and reprinted at Paris. It is read by Peiresc, Aleandro, and probably also by other astronomers.

International Vice-President of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul The life, the work, the witness and the message of Frederic Ozanam are so rich and diverse that it is impossible to summarise them in a few pages. One can, however, attempt to reveal the most significant aspects of them in order to discover, to love and perhaps become inspired by them oneself, like so many generations of "Vincentians" who, from 1833 to the present time, have found a mentor, as he himself had in St. Vincent de Paul, "a life which must continue, a heart which must restore his heart, an intelligence that must seek enlightenment, a model on earth and a protector in heaven." Antoine Frederic Ozanam was born 23 April 1813 in Milan, where his parents, originally from near Lyon, were living temporarily for professional reasons during the Napoleonic wars. His family, which was deeply Christian, gave him a love of God and of the poor from a very young age and taught him to search for and find Christ in those who carry the heaviest burden of human suffering and social injustice.

'Bicycle'
By DAVID V. HERLIHY
More than three centuries ago, the distinguished French mathematician Jacques Ozanam spelled out the theoretical advantages of a human-powered carriage "in which one can drive oneself wherever one pleases, without horses." Its owner could freely roam along the roads without having to care for an animal and might even enjoy a healthy exercise in the process. Moreover, this particular type of "self-moving" vehicle, in contrast to those that called for wind or steam for propulsion, would run on that most abundant and accessible of all resources: willpower. But how to construct such a valuable vehicle? That was the twenty-third of some fifty "useful and entertaining" problems Ozanam identified and addressed in his famous Récréations Mathématiques et Physiques, published in 1696.
Richard's carriage, despite its dubious potential, served for more than a century as the working model of the human-powered vehicle. Several variations were built in Europe over the years, presumably with technical improvements, but to little avail. Finally, in 1774, a London journal pronounced a local entry "the best that has hitherto been invented." The handiwork of a Mr. Ovenden, it reportedly cruised at six miles an hour, or faster if the footman expended a "particular exertion." It could even surmount "considerable hills," provided they had a "sound bottom." Yet even this worthy initiative appears to have gone nowhere.
