Reading the title of this article, I immediately thought of William S. Gosset, "The Guinness Brewer Who Revolutionized Statistics", earlier in the century. I am sure there are even older examples.

When I visited the Guinness Brewery in Dublin a few years ago, I was pleased to note that they have a plaque honoring Gosset/"Student".

If I ever get to Dublin I want to see Hamilton's quaternion plaque on Brougham Bridge.
