Excerpt from Edward Ellis Allen

He was so modest and self-effacing in all he did that his family feels moved to make this record of his various services to the cause of the blind. It is generally con ceded that if not the originator of many of the new movements in the work for the blind, he was at the last of his directorship the acknowledged Leader. He set the type of the changes that were bound to come in the second fifty years of the work and was the instrument through which the education of the blind, in the United States, broke away from the somewhat stultifying bonds of charity, was broadened, made more efficient and more dignified.

This sketch has been written during his lifetime, that it might have his correction and approval, and no pains have been spared to make it authentic.
