JAMES KERR LOVE (1858-1942) graduated in Glasgow University M.B., C.M. in 1880 and M.D. in 1888. Early in his career he began to devote himself to Otology and attained great prominence in that specialty. He held many appointments, the chief of which was that of Aurist to the Royal Infirmary from 1891 to 1919 when he retired as Hon. Consulting Surgeon. In 1912 he was appointed to the National Bureau Lectureship for the Prevention of Deafness. Dr. Kerr Love was widely known for his pioneer advocacy of the education of the deaf mute in lip reading, maintaining that by that method the deaf person could be brought to lead a relatively normal life in mixing with his fellows. Miss Helen Keller, the extraordinary woman who in spite of being blind and deaf and dumb was able to educate herself and write books of the story of her life, was a friend of Dr. Kerr Love, and was persuaded by him to leave her home in America and visit Scotland where for a time she was his guest. During that visit Glasgow University conferred on her the Honorary Degree of LL.D. None of those present at the Graduation Ceremony in the Bute Hall will forget the moving picture of this remarkable lady being led to the rostrum by Dr. Kerr Love to be received and laureated by the Chancellor. And if anything it was even more striking to watch her friend and teacher, the late Mrs. Macey, sitting quietly by her side telling her in her own understandable language with fingers on lips all about what was going on around her from which she was otherwise shut off.
