Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 - August 2, 1922) was a teacher, scientist, and inventor. He was the founder of the Bell Telephone Company.
Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. His family was known for teaching people how to speak English clearly (elocution). Both his grandfather, Alexander Bell, and his father, Alexander Melville Bell, taught elocution. His father wrote often about this and is most known for his invention and writings of Visible Speech.[1] In his writings he explained ways of teaching people who were deaf and unable to speak. It also showed how these people could learn to speak words by watching their lips and reading what other people were saying.
Alexander Graham Bell went to the Royal High School of Edinburgh. He graduated at the age of fifteen. At the age of sixteen, he got a job as a student and teacher of elocution and music in Weston House Academy, at Elgin in Morayshire. He spent the next year at the University of Edinburgh. While still in Scotland, he became more interested in the science of sound (acoustics). He hoped to help his deaf mother. From 1866 to 1867, he was a teacher at Somersetshire College in Bath, Somerset.Bell's genius is seen in part by the eighteen patents granted in his name alone and the twelve that he shared with others. These included fifteen for the telephone and telegraph, four for the photophone, one for the phonograph, five for aeronautics, four for hydrofoils, and two for a selenium cell.
In 1888, he was one of the original members of the National Geographic Society and became its second president.
He was given many honors.
The French government gave him the decoration of the Legion of Honor.
The Royal Society of Arts in London awarded him the Albert medal in 1902.
The University of Würzburg, Bavaria, granted him the Degree of Ph.D.
In Chapter III of her autobiography, Helen Keller notes that she was referred to Dr. Alexander Graham Bell by Dr. Chisholm when she was 6 years old, during the summer of 1886. Though Dr. Bell was unable to do anything about Helen's condition, he gave the Kellers hope in seeing to her education and advised Mr. Keller to send a letter to Mr. Anagnos, the director of the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston, who sent Miss Anne Sullivan to be Helen's teacher.
