Mar 8, Granville Stanley Hall: Today in the History of Psychology (8th March 1883)

Granville Stanley Hall opened the first experimental psychology research laboratory in the United States at Johns Hopkins University. The picture of Hall and the following related text is taken from an article about the history of 'mental laboratories' published in McClure's Magazine in 1893. 'Wilhelm Wundt founded at Leipsic, in 1878, the first laboratory in the world for regular scientific mental experimentation. Professor Wundt is the greatest psychologist now living in Europe, and a majority of the noted psychological experts, both of Germany and of America, have been his pupils. One of these pupils, G. Stanley Hall, now President of Clark University, opened the first American laboratory at Johns Hopkins in 1883. To him must be credited the founding of experimental psychology in this country, and an eminent share of its present successful growth.'
