...Rockefeller General Education Board helped by building for the Institute a fine five-story Georgian home and by granting $2,500,000 for ten years' running expenses.* Soon there moved into this structure an odd assortment of men, women and beasts. Famed Child Psychologist Arnold Gesell brought a children's clinic for studying infant feeding and other phases of moppets' development. Psychobiologist Robert Mearns Yerkes brought his famed apes, clapped them into a huge cage atop one wing of the building and continued to study ape behavior. Psychiatrists brought a group of deranged men & women, locked them...
