In 1840, 4-year-old Winchester, Tennessee native Francis Joseph Campbell was accidently blinded by a Locust branch. His parents provided him with every educational opportunity, including being the second child enrolled in the newly created Tennessee School for the Blind. Campbell went on to serve as Superintendent of the school and pioneered teaching techniques that revolutionized education. He later moved to England where he helped found the Royal Normal College and Academy of Music, which was so successful he was knighted in 1909 by King Edward VII. Sir Francis Campbell returned to American in 1912 where he remained until his death in 1914.

Queen Alexandra's nephew, who was a student at the College, was almost refused entry because of a valet sent by the royals to see to his needs. Campbell insisted the valet leave and allow the prince to learn how to be independent. Prince Alexander went on to become one of the school's most dedicated supporters.
