EXERCISE 9: John B. Hotchkiss

        John B. Hotchkiss was born in 1846.

        He attended the American School for the Deaf in Hartford.

        While he was a student there he often saw Laurent Clerc lecture. Although Clerc was retired
        at the time.

        Hotchkiss was graduated from Gallaudet College in 1869, the same year that Clerc died.
        Hotchkiss taught at Gallaudet for 53 years.

        He was such an avid sports fan that the football field at Gallaudet   was named in his honor.

        Hotchkiss died in 1922, but we have a short film of him so he will always be with us.

EXERCISE 10  Amos Kendall

Amos Kendall was a hearing man.

But he was very important in the history of Deaf People.

In 1857 when a school for deaf children in Washington DC was proposed, Kendall donated the land for the school.

He interviewed Edward Minor Gallaudet and recommended him to run the school.

The land he donated is called Kendall Green.

And the Elementary school for Deaf children in Washington, DC still stands on Kendall Green, and is called Kendall School for the Deaf.

Gallaudet University is also located on Kendall Green.
