The Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind" was written by Samuel Eliot and was published in New England Magazine in February of 1897. In this article, Eliot, president of the Board of Trustees for 25 years at Perkins, chronicles 66 years of its history with a truly insider view. From its inception as an act of advocacy by Dr. John D. Fisher, the appointment of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe as director, and the ensuing growth and development of this institution devoted to the education of the blind. The article also highlights one of Perkins's most famous pupils: Laura Bridgman. Eliot introduces the reader to the many generous benefactors of the school, and the graphics offer a chance to see the original buildings, people, and methods of instruction of the blind at the close of the nineteenth century
