National, beyond sport: an inventor and a physician

National Inventors Hall of Fame, 1984 · National Women's Hall of Fame, 1973

Philo T. Farnsworth: Farnsworth was not a Fort Wayne native — he was born in Beaver, Utah, in 1906 and transmitted the first electronic television image in San Francisco in 1927. His tie is the works: he founded the Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation in Fort Wayne in 1938, lived on East State Boulevard, and ran the enterprise here until ITT absorbed it, the Hall's own statement giving the Fort Wayne production as 1938–1951. The National Inventors Hall of Fame inducted him in 1984, for the electronic television system, thirteen years after his death; the Television Academy's Hall of Fame — a second national hall, printed as its own — inducted him in 2013. Around the inductions stand a United States postage stamp of 1983 and a posthumous Emmy honour of 1977.

Alice Hamilton: The National Women's Hall of Fame at Seneca Falls inducted Alice Hamilton in 1973, in its first class, on the Hall's own inductee record. She was born in New York City on 27 February 1869 and raised in Fort Wayne, on the three-block family estate her grandfather Allen Hamilton built; she studied anatomy for a year at the Fort Wayne College of Medicine before taking her Michigan medical degree. She founded industrial toxicology, in 1919 became the first woman appointed to the faculty of Harvard University, received the Albert Lasker Public Service Award in 1947, and died in 1970 aged 101. The tie is printed exactly: born in New York, raised and formed in Fort Wayne.
