of our early presidents, now far away. 

 Liglitner Witmer, my first student and my 

 successor at Pennsylvania, where he leads 

 in an important field of research. G. T. "W. 

 Patrick, of Iowa, and H. K. "Wolfe, of 

 Nebraska, influential as teachers and in 

 their work in psychology and philosophy. 

 Last and most honored of the living, G. 

 Stanley Hall and George T. Ladd, our first 

 two presidents, then seeming to be veteran 

 leaders, but now having become my eon- 

 temporaries, men to whom we owe so much 

 in so many ways, founders not only of our 

 association, but also of psychology. 



To the twenty-six original members, five 

 were added by election at the preliminary 

 meeting. Death has taken from us T. 

 Wesley Mills, of McGill, early worker in 

 animal psychology, and H. T. Ormond, of 

 Princeton, distinguished philosopher. Ed- 

 ward Pace seems to be sheltered from us by 

 the wings of the church in the educational 

 work in which he is engaged. Then there 

 were two men elected not only into the asso- 

 ciation, but selected from the whole world, 

 because they were those whom we wanted 

 and needed, E. B. Titchener and Hugo 

 Miinsterberg. 



I once wrote: "Harvard with James 

 Miinsterberg, Royce . . . surpasses every 

 other university in the world in its opportu- 

 nity for psychological study and research. ' ' 

 Now they all await us "where beyond 

 these voices there is peace" — Hugo Miin- 

 sterberg, always my friend since our stu- 

 dent days in Leipzig, who with the hand 

 of genius threw prodigally broadcast the 

 diverse endowments of his great nation and 

 his great race ; William James, ' ' the sweet- 

 est, wisest soul of all my days and lands ' ' ; 

 there is none like him, none, nor will be; 

 and Josiah Royce, his friend and ours, the 

 well-beloved disciple, who leaves the world 

 darker, now since his light is quenched. 



Should the roll be called of the present 



membership of the association, there would 

 be three hundred and seven to respond, and 

 there are besides ten former members and 

 others who stand among the hundred lead- 

 ing psychologists according to the list which 

 I have compiled by objective methods.^ 

 The number of those professionally en- 

 gaged in psychological work has increased 

 nearly tenfold in twenty-five years. The 

 original members I'epresented 14 colleges 

 and universities. There are now 122 insti- 

 tutions in which our members teach. Then 

 the American Journal of Psychology, 

 recently established, stood almost alone; 

 now the published directory of American 

 psychological periodicals contains eighteen 

 titles. This is a growth of our work that 

 has scarcely been paralleled in the history 

 of science. 



While it is not feasible to name all the 

 individuals now composing the association, 

 it may be well to give some data in regard 

 to their distribution. The numbers in our 

 chief institutions — including my own — are 

 larger than I had supposed before counting 

 them up. They are: Columbia 23,^ Chi- 

 cago 11, Cornell and Harvard 10, Clark, 

 Johns Hopkins and Ohio State 8, Illinois 

 and Michigan 7, Iowa, Pennsylvania, 

 Princeton, Wisconsin and Yale 6, Minne- 

 sota and Pittsburgh 5, Bryn Mawr, Cali- 

 fornia, New York University, Texas and 

 Western Reserve 4, Brown, Northwestern, 

 Vassar and Wellesley 3. There are 96 insti- 

 tutions with one or two psychologists — 32 

 universities, 42 colleges and 22 normal 



- They are : Frank Angell, J. Mark Baldwin, J. 

 E. Creighton, Edwin B. Holt, J. H. Hyslop, Her- 

 bert Nichols, E. A. Pace, George Santayana, E. W. 

 Scripture and C. A. Strong. Several of them are 

 primarily interested in philosophy; three reside in 

 France. More than 90 per cent, of our psycholo- 

 gists are thus members of the association. 



3 On Christmas day died Naomi Norsworthy, as- 

 sociate professor of educational psychology in the 

 Teachers CoUege, skilled in research, a truly great 

 teacher, a noble woman.
