Abstract
Alice Benedict Beardsley, known as NTID's first interpreter, died May 12, 1997, after a long illness.
Beardsley was an integral part of the NTID community from the very beginning, serving as the
interpreter for the site-visit team in 1965 which selected RIT as the host institution for the newly created
National Technical Institute for the Deaf. She later was officially employed as an interpreter to work in
the classrooms with the first NTID class in 1968.
