Appointed as a lecturer in clinical psychology in 1959 after earning his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California at Berkeley, Leary's experiments with the hallucinogenic drug psilocybin were the subject of a maelstrom of controversy at Harvard.
"I wish I could treat this as a scholarly disagreement, but this work violates the values of the academic community," Herbert C. Kelman, Cabot professor of social ethics, then a lecturer on social ethics, then a lecturer on social psychology, told The Crimson in 1962.
According to Maher, President Nathan M. Pusey '28 gave Leary leave without pay after the lecturer left Harvard for Hollywood midway through the spring semester of 1963. Leary's contract with Harvard was due to expire at the end of the spring 1963 semester.
