Professor Gardner Murphy, chairman of the Department of Psychology of the City College of New York, will lecture on William James and Psychical Research this afternoon at 4 o'clock in the large lecture room of Fogg Museum. First describing how psychical problems were approached in the time of James, he will then trace the progress made since then, emphasizing the development of the experimental method. According to Murphy, psychologists today are adapting laboratory techniques to problems which men formerly merely explored.
Professor Murphy is not only the past president of the Psychological Study of Social Issues and of the Eastern Psychological Association, but also the author of many well known works such as "Experimental Social Psychology." This summer here at Harvard he is teaching a course in Social Psychology and one on Psychical Research since William James.
