Who Were Howell and Mitchell?
John T Mitchell, known as the "Father of Duplicate Whist" and author of the first book on the subject (Duplicate Whist 1892).

Edwin C Howell was professor of mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.). He was born in 1860 and credited with the invention of the Howell Movement in 1897.
