And Garfunkel changed his life at the university to accommodate his blind friend, helping him walk to class, tending to wounds, walking together in the city, filling out forms for him, and so on. In college, Greenberg was completely dependent on his friend. After much insistence from his friend, Greenberg agreed and enrolled in the university once more. It was then that Garfunkel came to him and talked Greenberg into going back to Columbia. Greenberg stopped talking to people and isolated himself. Psychologically, he was intensely depressed. He was watching a baseball game when he experienced his vision becoming cloudy. As such, the young man dropped out of college. Since Greenberg came from a simple home, his family did not have the money to help him out. It was later found that glaucoma had destroyed Greenberg’s optic nerves. Though the doctors diagnosed that he was suffering from conjunctivitis and the blindness would soon pass, it did not. Just months later, Greenberg lost his sight. The two young men made a pact to always be there for each other when faced with trouble. It was Garfunkel who initiated the contact, coming over to say “Hi.” Soon, the two became roommates and found that they shared a common interest in music and poetry.
