Part of the book series: Perspectives on Individual Differences ((PIDF))

Abstract

The comments that follow are based on a long career, primarily through my professorship in academic psychology in the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University, but secondarily through a professorship held jointly in the School of Education, beginning a half-century ago. Professional affiliation with education began in the summer of 1927, when in the midst of my graduate study in psychology at Yale I spent the summer as a teaching assistant in courses in vocational guidance under Harry D. Kitson at Teachers College, had course work there with Ben D. Wood, and became well acquainted with Goodwin Watson. I had only a single graduate course in educational psychology at Yale under V. A. C. Henmon, who had interrupted his career at the University of Wisconsin to teach for a time at Yale.
