Blindfolds Open Ed School Eyes

That blindfolded figure you may have seen groping his way around Longfellow Hall yesterday at noon was not pursuing the tail-end of a long-eared equine.

He and six other students were "blinded" for an experiment conducted in the Harvard School of Education.

The experiment was designed to explore some of the problems of teacher-pupil relationships, Michael E. Orme, assistant professor of Education and instructor in P 20 ("Psychological Foundations of Education",) explained yesterday. Those members of P 20 not blind-folded were instructed to "teach" those who were.

Some of the "guinea pigs" sat passively. Others stumbled down the stairs and through the halls of Longfellow. One intrepid subject braved the traffic on Appian Way. Another made her way to Brigham's for lunch.
