What it is
Edited by scholar James Penner, this 2014 volume collects Timothy Leary's early scientific articles and essays from his Harvard period, including writings tied to the Harvard Psilocybin Project, the Concord Prison study, and the Good Friday (Marsh Chapel) experiment. Penner adds an editorial introduction on the Harvard drug scandal and a critical preface to each piece. As a primary-source anthology, it documents the personalities and early studies that framed later clinical inquiry, presented as historical record rather than current scientific guidance.
