 Beginnings of Scientific Psychology

He failed his last year of high school and

was asked to repeat the year.

His guidance counselor told him to just

consider a job in the Post Office where
he wouldn’t need a college degree.
But he decided to transfer school instead,
and did better.

He graduated summa cum laude, finished

Medicine in 3 instead of 4 years, and was
the topnotcher in the Medical Board
Exams.
But instead of practicing Medicine,
he decided to become a researcher
and academic.

In the very first course that he

taught, only 4 students enrolled.
 But at the time of his death, he
had
supervised taught more 10,000
undergrad students and
mentored 186 doctoral
dissertations.

Many of his students became

pioneering and profoundly
influential scientists and
researchers.
