Signed by Boring; During Boring's time at Cornell, he developed a close relationship with Titchener, one that continued until Titchener's death, in 1927; Founded Psych at Harvard; Having found Titchener's mentalist and dualist perspective untenable, Boring now focused on the physical brain rather than the abstract mind
Dedicated to Titchener; Separated Harvard Psych Dept from Philo Dept; He wrote prolifically, including his classic book, History of Experimental Psychology, which remains an invaluable reference to this day
