...progress of his mind can be traced in the successive topics of his teaching. In 1873 he became an instructor in Anatomy at Harvard; but soon, finding greater interest in Physiology, he accepted an Assistant Professorship in that subject, in 1876.

In 1880 he abandoned Physiology altogether, becoming in that year Assistant Professor, and in 1885 Professor, of Philosophy. He now gave himself enthusiastically to Psychology, and under his energetic guidance a psychological laboratory was established...

The CRIMSON feels that it is possible to broaden the field of study by marking upon progress rather than attainment...
