Oct 1, Wilhelm Wundt: Today in the History of Psychology (1st October 1875)

In a defining moment in the history of psychology, Wilhelm Wundt's tenure at the University of Leipzig began. Wundt recalled in a memoir published in 1909 titled 'Das Institut f ür experimentelle Psychologie zu Leipzig' (The Institute for Experimental Psychology at Leipzig) that upon joining the faculty, the Royal Ministry with the consent of the academic Senate, made provision of a small room in which to store demonstrational materials for use in his psychology lectures, as well as any apparatus needed for his personal experimental investigations. It was from these modest beginnings that Wilhelm Wundt would go on to establish the first experimental laboratory of psychology in 1879.
