Percival Hall
Percival Hall (September 16, 1872 – November 7, 1953)〔(Papers of Dr. Percival Hall, Gallaudet University Archives )〕 was the second president of Gallaudet University (1910 – 1945).〔(Presidents & Terms, Gallaudet University )〕 He was a strong advocate of the use of sign language in the education of the deaf, and also an advocate for deaf rights to vote, work, participate in sports, marry, and drive automobiles.〔
==Early life and education==
The son of astronomer Asaph Hall, III (1829 – 1907) and Angeline Stickney Hall (1830 – 1892), he was born in Georgetown, Washington, DC, the youngest of four brothers.〔''An Astronomer's Wife'', Angelo Hall, Nunn & Co.: 1908. Reprinted by BiblioLife, 2008.〕 His eldest brother was Asaph Hall, Jr..
Percival Hall took a degree in mathematics at Harvard University in 1892. While still a student, he worked as an architectural surveyor for the Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) railroad, making drawings of existing structures with plans for improving bridges, as well as plans for proposed structures in the expansion of the railroad. The work was hard, as much of the time was spent in wild areas that required him to camp; hunting and cooking his own food. He observed that he saw few older people in this employment and that the work took a heavy toll on his colleagues.〔From a personal collection of letters. S.A. Hall〕
A friend and roommate from Harvard, Allen Bradshaw Fay, whose father, Edward Allen Fay, was the Vice-President of the college, suggested that he teach the deaf.〔 Initially his family tried to dissuade him, as they felt that, with his adventurous spirit, he would soon be bored with life as a teacher. But Hall felt that he could make a contribution to the developing field of deaf education.〔
