About Abraham Lincoln Fechheimer
Abraham had a remarkable career: "[A]fter earning a Bachelor of Science degree from Columbia University, [he] braved that most exacting contest, the public examination for admission to L' École des Beaux Arts in Paris, and won. Deaf since birth, he aspired to enter the foremost school of architecture in the world of his day. He pitted his skill and knowledge against 500 candidates, of whom but 45 Frenchmen and 15 foreigners would be chosen, and won the coveted scholarship. He studied there four and a half years, doing all his work in French, received his diploma, and practised his profession for the rest of his life." From The Modern Educational Treatment of Deafness, googlebooks.
