Faber


 * His name was Faber. . .**

Because of the association with homo faber, this might be a name having to do with "craftsman". His invention of the 'ear-phone' is quoted as an example of this. His name also leads to the man, Peter Faber, who founded 2 Jesuit colleges.

We believe Bradbury used this because he wanted his character Faber to have some meaning. He wanted to find other ways to show that Faber was a creative man and was associated with colleges, since he was a retired English professor.
