' THE PHILADELPHIA MEETING OF THE AMEE- 

 ICAiV PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. 



At the Princeton meeting of the Asso-- 

 elation a year ago overtures of affiliation 

 were received from the American Society of 

 Naturalists, and in response to these the 

 meeting of 1S95 was held at the same time 

 and place as those of the affiliated societies. 

 The opportunities thus affi)rded of seeing 

 and hearing distinguished representatives 

 of kindred lines of investigation added much 

 to the interest of the psychological program, 

 while the abundant hospitality of the local 

 committee provided for the social contact, 

 which is rightly an important feature of all 

 such gatherings. 



On opening the first session of the Asso- 

 ciation, the President, Prof. Cattell, of Co- 

 lumbia, introduced Prof. FuUerton, Dean of 

 the University of Pennsylvania, who first 

 welcomed the Association to the University 

 and then read a paper on Psychology and 

 Physiology. In it he drew the boundary be- 

 tween the two sciences sharp, not with any 

 view to warning oif mutual trespass, but to 

 having the writers of text-books keep clear 

 for their readers the essential limits of both 

 sciences. With Foster's Physiology as a 

 text Prof. FuUerton showed what lavish 

 use is made in the chapters on the functions 

 of the sense organs and the nervous system 

 of material that is patently psychological, 

 i. e., secured by the distinctly psychological 

 method of introspection. This paper ap- 

 pears in full in the current number of the 

 Psychological Revieiv. 



Prof. FuUerton was followed by Dr. Far- 

 rand, of Columbia, who described a Series 

 of Physical and Mental Tests on the Students of 

 Columbia College. The tests described are 

 made on the undergraduates of the College
