Howard Gardner Veterans Administration Hospital Boston, Massachusetts I am very honored to be here. I have long been an admirer of your organization and the man whom you commemorate in your name and in that of the lecture which I am delivering this morning. I vividly remember three moments of introduction to Samuel Or- ton and to his work. I first heard of Samuel Torrey Orton when I was researching The Shattered Mind in the early 1970s.

I also heard about the Society in reading an article which was cru- cial in my own education, an article by Sheldon White on the five-to- seven-year-old cognitive shift.
