STUDIES ON SIGHT: DR. SAMUEL GRIDLEY HOWE, HELPER OF THE BLIND
Many great minds have studied optics, the science of light; and led by Helmholtz, they have applied these studies to help human sight. All in vain, of course, is this work to those who have lost their sight. One man, certainly not a great scientist, is outstanding as a helper of the unfortunate blind. Yet, though he was one of the most colorful and forceful men we have ever had, when his daughter died a few years ago, our leading news magazine referred to her as the daughter of Julia Ward Howe, author of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Comparatively few would have been enlightened had they been told that her father was Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe.
His portrait, painted in oil, hangs in the John Hay Library at Brown University. It shows a handsome, slender, black-haired young man with a long old-fashioned rifle on his knees. He is attired in an elaborate Greek costume; all this in keeping with his romantic, chivalrous youth.
Born in Boston, he came to Brown because he was the best reader in a family which could afford only one boy in college and which was opposed to Harvard politics. Nevertheless he took his M.D. at Harvard. There were not any internship in those days; but Byron had written of the isles of Greece, “where burning Sappho loved and sung”; and he had joined the Greeks in their war against the Turks. So Howe offered his sword and surgical services to the Greeks. Nowadays a doctor is a non-combatant; he “only became a surgeon when the fighting was over.” After three years of guerilla warfare and several years of distributing American help in Greece he went to Paris and wished to get into the 1830 Revolution, known as the Three Days, which put Louis Philippe on the throne; but Lafayette told him, “this is our battle.”
Returning to Boston just as the Asylum for the Blind was established, Howe was chosen to run it. He went to Europe to study schools for the blind, got mixed up with Polish relief, was thrown in prison in Berlin, from which the American government managed to rescue him, but never again could he go to Berlin. So far he certainly had not been much of a doctor. A great Boston merchant with the magnificent name of Colonel Thomas Handasyde Perkins gave his house and grounds for what has since been the Perkins Institute. Dr. Howe improved the methods of teaching the blind and developed printing with raised characters which could be felt. Soon he heard of a seven-year-old girl at Hanover, New Hampshire, who had had scarlet fever at two years of age, leaving her blind, deaf, and with taste and smell blunted. This was Laura Bridgman. He brought her to Boston and with unending patience and ingenuity educated her so that she became a capable woman. Since his day blindness has not been the handicap it formerly was.
Our hearing and our sight are what really make us part of the world around us. The lengthening of man’s days and the coincident development of aids to vision and hearing are, however, making us more tolerant of imperfections in these senses. We no longer expect to be treated as was the hero of Mrs. Thrale’s “Three Warnings.” This lady may be remembered by you as the friend of Dr. Samuel Johnson. She wrote a poem with the above title which got into many of the school anthologies of the last century.
