Gallaudet Pew in Trinity College Chapel If you visit Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., there is a place where you can find ASD co-founder Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet in the Chapel. Completed in 1932, the Chapel was designed in the English Perpendicular Gothic style by Philip Frohman, who also designed the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. Inside the Chapel you will see many beautiful hand-carved pew ends. Near the front altar, there is one entitled, “League for the Hard of Hearing Pew End – 1939.” The arm piece shows Rev. Thomas. H. Gallaudet sitting and making the sign for God. Gallaudet and the deaf French teacher Laurent Clerc introduced what is now American sign Language to America. Two of Gallaudet’s sons, Edward Miner and Thomas (who graduated from Trinity in 1842) expanded and continued their father’ work. The main panel of the pew end shows Crist curing a deaf man, while the Angel Gabriel stands above, ready to blow his horn. The Chapel, at Trinity College, 300 Summit St., Hartford, Conn., is normally open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed on weekends.
