Herman Guy Fisher (November 2, 1898 – September 26, 1975),[1] was born in Unionville Pennsylvania.
Fisher graduated from the Pennsylvania State University where he was a member of Sigma Pi fraternity in 1921 with a BA in Commerce and Finance.
In 1938, during his tenure as the president of TMA, he led the campaign to establish the association's statistical committee.
He coined the term “preschool toys” with the advent of the wooden blocks in 1934, the first to use plastic in 1950 in Queen Buzzy Bee’s wings and the creation of “National Baby Week” in the fifties.
He donated a large amount of money "to provide an area of beauty for his alma mater where all could pause to rest, reflect, or just watch the flowers grow."
