Leland Schubert (1907-1998) was an American literary scholar, educator, and philanthropist, born in Toledo, Ohio. He taught drama, literature, and rhetoric at several colleges, publishing works such as Hawthorne, the Artist (1944) and a Braille teaching manual (1968). After retiring to Cleveland, he and his wife Helen gave a $1 million anonymous donation to Mayor Carl Stokes’ Cleveland Now! program, transcribed books into Braille, donated his rare theater book collection to the Cleveland Play House, and created the AHS Foundation to support education and community initiatives.
