Truman Lee Kelley, Professor of Education and Psychology at Stanford University since 1926, has accepted an appointment as Professor of Education in the Graduate School of Education, Harvard University.
Dr Kelley has taught successively at the Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Illinois, University of Texas, Teachers College, Columbia University and Stanford University. He is widely recognized as one of the most distinguished living scholars in the field of statistical and experimental study in Education.
Professor Kelley will offer at Harvard courses in Advanced Statistical Method and a Seminary in Psychometrics. His special research interest lies in the analysis of mental structure. By the experimental use of tests and statistical procedures he is seeking to isolate and study the basic traits, powers, or abilities, that enter as unitary components into the complex processes of learning and conduct. Kelley’s work is related to that of Dearborn at Harvard, Thorndike and Wood at Columbia, Thurstone at Chicago, and Spearman at London.
The Administrative Board of the Wayne County Training School announces the appointment of T. G. Hegge, Ph.D. as Director of Research. Dr. Hegge for ten years was Associate Professor of Psychology in the Royal University of Norway and has spent the last two years in this country under a fellowship from the Rockefeller Foundation centering his work at the University of Michigan. He spent four years with G. E. Muller in the psychological laboratory at the University of Gottingen, Germany and other extended periods with Lehman at Copenhagen, Denmark and Jaensch at Marburg, Germany.
Dr Hegge has been appointed special lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan and is holding seminar courses there for graduate students.
A limited number of openings for resident fellows will be available at the Training School for suitable applicants who are qualified to carry on original work leading to a Doctor’s degree. Course credit toward the degree for accepted work done under Dr Hegge at the Training School will be granted by the University of Michigan to properly registered students. Any person desirous of being considered for such a fellowship should address Dr Hegge at the Wayne County Training School, Northville, Michigan.
