Horace Greeley, born on the 3rd of February 1811, is Clement's example for this day. The book calls his 3 one of the first degree and sets it against Abraham Lincoln's 3 of the second degree, reached through the 12th. Clement's reading is of a spiritual number with little interest in saving money and a pull toward literary work.

Walton took 3 in a noisier direction: oratory, acting, singing, dancing and general good cheer. Cheasley explained it by arithmetic, as the sum of 1 and 2, which adds the gathered experience of the second to the personal creation of the first. Ariel Yvon Taylor in 1926 spoke of joyous expression in art. Clement's musical table puts E major against this date.
