Remembering History: Bobby Domecon, a "practice baby" at Cornell University in 1920, was one of hundreds of babies on loan from orphanages and raised by a ever changing group of students. (The surname Domecon comes from Domestic Economics.)... When I first read this, I thought the people who did it should be shot... but then I read more about it and considering the conditions in orphanages then, the babies might have been better off being raised at the Colleges.
