FAZY, HENRI (1842-1920), Swiss statesman and histo rian, great-nephew of James Fazy, was born at Berne on Jan. 31, 1842. Fazy was a prominent figure in Genevese politics from 1868 onwards. His proposal to separate Church and State in Geneva was rejected by the people in 188o, but finally accepted in 1907. He was a member of the Swiss conseil national from 1896 to 1899, and from 1902 onwards. After the Radical defeat of 1918 he was the only member of his party who remained in office, but he became more and more conservative as time went on. For many years he was the archivist of Geneva, and also professor of Swiss history at the university of Geneva (1896 99, and from 1902). He died at Geneva on Dec. 22, 1920. He was the author of many historical works, chiefly connected with the town and canton of Geneva.
