Manuscript signed, Francis Scott Key Stan Klos Biography
BELL, Alexander Graham,
physicist, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, 3 March 1847. He is a son of Alexander
Melville Bell, mentioned below, and was educated at the Edinburgh high school
and Edinburgh University, receiving special training in his father's system for
removing impediments in speech. He removed to London in 1867, and entered the
University there, but left on account of his health, and went to Canada with his
father in 1870. In 1872 he took up his residence in the United States,
introducing with success his father's system of deaf-mute instruction, and
became professor of vocal physiology in Boston University. He had been
interested for many years in the transmission of sound by electricity, and had
devised many forms of apparatus for the purpose, but the first public exhibition
of his invention was at Philadelphia in 1876. Its complete success has made him
wealthy. His invention of the "photophone," in which a vibratory beam of
light is substituted for a wire in conveying speech, has also attracted much
attention, but has never been practically used. It was first described by him
before the American association for the advancement of science in Boston, 27
August 1880.
After the shooting of President Garfield, Professor Bell, together with
Sumner Tainter, experimented with an improved form of Hughes's induction
balance, and endeavored to find the exact location of the ball, but failed.
Professor Bell has put forth the theory that the present system of educating
deaf-mutes is wrong, as it tends to restrict them to one another's society, so
that marriages between the deaf are common, and therefore the number of
deaf-mute children born is on the increase. His latest experiments relate to the
recording of speech by means of photographing the vibrations of a jet of water.
He is a member of various learned societies, and has published many scientific
papers. He has lived for some time in Washington, District of Columbia.
The online version of the Alexander Graham Bell Family Papers at
the Library of Congress will comprise a selection of approximately 4700 items
(totaling about 38,000 images). This second release contains about 4650 items
consisting of correspondence, scientific notebooks, journals, blueprints,
articles, and photographs documenting Bell's invention of the telephone
and his involvement in the first telephone company, his family life, his
interest in the education of the deaf, and his aeronautical and other scientific
research. Dates span from 1862 to 1939, but the bulk of the materials are from
1865 to 1920. Included among Bell's papers are pages from his experimental
notebook from March 10, 1876, describing the first successful experiment with
the telephone, during which he spoke through the instrument to his assistant the
famous words, "Mr. Watson--Come here--I want to see you." Bell's various roles
in life as teacher, inventor, celebrity, and family man are covered extensively
in his papers. The digitization of this selection of the Bell Family
Papers is made possible through the generous support of the AT&T Foundation.
