Witli almost prophetic vision he fore- saw what a wonderfully useful thing the telephone might be if it once had a chance to be developed, and with this in view he lent himself and his money to the work. It is largely due to him that this wonderful invention has become so much a necessity in the present times of business rush. Mr. Hubbard is a native of Boston, and was born , in 1822. He was graduated from Dartmouth in 1841, studied law, and became partner if of Benjamin R. Curtis. He founded the first school established in this country for 'ii iii I i f teaching the deaf to speak. He has held several high positions in state and country. HON'GARD'NER GREENE HUBBARD' Mr. Hubbard is a man of broad and liberal views, clear, far-seeing judgment, remarkable administrative ability, and is possessed of a spirit of determination that never yields to obstacles.
