ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL LEXANDER GRAHAM BELL, who died August 2, 1922, was professor of the Mechanism of Speech in the School of Oratory of Boston Univer- sity from 1874 to 1879. Here he devoted all his energy to the teaching and study of science in all its forms and became especially interested in mul- tiple telegraphy and telephony. It was while he was connected with Boston University that all his work on the invention of the telephone was done. One of his pupils in vocal physiology, Mabel Hubbard of Cambridge, his fiancee, lost her speech and hearing in childhood. And Bell, in trying to arrange an electrical contrivance. discovered the secret of the transmitter. By the year 1878 Professor Bele work had become so widely known in the scientific world that Oxford University invited him to deliver a course of lectures in that institution. This application from Oxford to a Boston University professor marked the beginning of the system of international exchange professorships. While Dr. Bell was connected with Boston University other honors came to the institution through his brilliant work. At the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1877 he received a silver medal for his System of Visible Speech, and was awarded the Grand Prize of Honor for the telephone. Bell was given a reception by President Murlin and the trustees and faculty of Boston University at the Boston City Club, March 14, 1916. The inventor told some of his early experiments. itGentlemen, he said. 7these things which I have described are the by-products of my work in your institution, and were made possible because of the encouragement of your University?
