The World's host Remarkable College Graduate
The story of Helen Keller's life is the biography of two wonderful
women—the blind, deaf and dumb girl, who for over twenty years has fought
against awful odds; and the kind, ingenious and patient teacher who has
led her charge into the sunlight of knowledge and of kinship with humanity.
In 1886, when Miss Annie Sullivan was called to Tuecumbia, Ala., to
assume the care of Helen, (the child had been living for nearly five years an
the mental darkness that followed her treble at8iction resulting from con-
vulsions. The task of education seemed well-nigh hopeless, for the one sense
through which the child's mind was to be awakened to consciousness was her
sense of touch. But in June, 1904, eighteen years later, Miss Keller gradu-
ated from Radcliffe with distinction, and received her degree of B. A.
This fairy tale of education, this romance of the conquest of obstacles,
is a superb triumph of concentration. At her entrance examination in June,
1900, as if Nature had not sufficiently handicapped her efforts, she had to
submit to two additional trials. The questions were given her in the Ameri-
can Braille system of writing for the blind, with which Miss Keller was only
slightly familiar, having learned the English Braille—the two systems being
as different as two distinct systems of shorthand. This delay in puzzling
out the translation of the questions was further aggravated by the fact that
her little Swiss watch with raised figures had unfortunately been left at
home, so she had no means of gauging the time, yet her typewriter clicked
out the answers and she"passed" with flying colors in every study.
During her college course, in many studies Miss Sullivan repeated the
lesson while Helen's fragile fingers feathering their way over her mentor's
face, translated the muscular motions of speech into ideas. She studied
English, Latin, French, Greek, German, political economy, logic, higher
mathematics, chemistry and all the other myriad phases of college wisdom,
through her wonderful fingers.
She uses the typewriter in Eve languages, has learned to speak with
clear articulation, can swim, row, play cards, chess and basketball; dance,
and perform a hundred other seemingly impossible things. Her memory is
marvellous, her temperament sunshiny and happy; her mind is wonderfully
broad, subtler and thorough, and her book, "The Story of My Life," besides
being great as a biography, is the most important work of the century on
psychology as a revelation of the human mind, its methods and possibilities.
