Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Psychological Review, Vol. 8
In surveying the addresses of my several predecessors in this o?ice, I am pleased to find that the precedents which they have set for the tenor and purpose of the presidential address to this Association are sufficiently diverse to enable me with pro priety to follow my personal inclinations on the present occa sion. Though various in trend and content, the several ad dresses embody two tendencies: the one accepts the obligation Of presenting, in some comprehensive outlook, the status of a general problem, or of a sphere Of psychological in?uence, or a portrayal of the bearings and relations that may most wisely pertain between different divisions or aspects of psychology, or between it and other departments of learning with which it has natural affiliations; the other utilizes this occasion for the pres entation of a more specific theme representing the outcome of the re?ection and investigation of the specialist. My topic in troduces both types Of considerations. I fear, however, that my representation will not be presidential in Character, but rather that of a secretary who reports, with what skill he can com mand, the contributions of others, and describes, albeit with per sonal comment and as he sees it, the status of affairs within his Chosen province.
