From Quiz All about Gallaudet University

Answer: Edward Miner Gallaudet

Edward Miner Gallaudet (February 5, 1837 - September 26, 1917), was the son of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Sophia Fowler Gallaudet, the latter of whom was Deaf. EM Gallaudet named the school in honor of his father. Thomas Gallaudet, along with Laurent Clerc, had established the Columbia Institute for the Deaf, which like most schools, ended with secondary education. EM Gallaudet took over running it after his father, and had a vision of it going further; he sought college status for the Columbia Institute. He got it when President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill into law which authorized the school to award bachelor's degrees. This College of the Deaf eventually became Gallaudet University in 1987, although it had been functioning as a university for years before, in the sense that it had areas of study outside a liberal arts college, and granted master's degrees and Ph.Ds.
