ABSTRACT
It would be easy to miss Linsly-Chittenden Hall, located on High Street at Yale's Old Campus if one passed it today. It has none of the eye-catching architectural details of the other neo-Gothic campus buildings. In addition, it is overshadowed by the magnificent clock-arch nearby that straddles High Street where it intersects with Chapel Street. It would have been much harder to miss during the 1961-1962 academic year, when it housed the laboratory of Dr. Stanley Milgram, a young assistant professor with a degree in social psychology from Harvard. At that time, the laboratory buzzed with activity, and there was a constant flow of people-participants in his experiments-coming through its doors.
