ment in formulating and carrying out
policies of education is considered to
have added much to the success of the
institution.
Since his retirement from active
service he has been emeritus pro-
fessor, giving such time and work to
the college as his strength permitted.
DR.. Fay is widely known as the
Schools for the Deaf" and of Mar
riages of the Deaf" study in heredity
which ELECTED the warmest praise from
the late Alexander Graham Bell. He
has also contributed numerous articles
to magazines, mostly relating to the
education of the deaf. Outside of his
particular field-that of education of
the deafADr. Fay was well known
among Italian scholars as the author
of the concordance of the Divina
Commedia." Following the. publica-
ton of this book, Johns Hopkins Uni
versity conferred upon him the de-
gree of doctor of philosophy. In
1912 the University of Michigan gave
his the degree of doctor of science.
and in 1915 Gallaudet College gave him
the degree of doctor of letters.
Prominent I'm Clubs.
