Description:

'McDougall had arrived at his conclusions not primarily through experimental or anatomical study of nerves, but that of his own sensory impressions. After a period on the Cambridge University-led Torres' Strait expedition and a short-lived career in medicine, he had sought out the Göttingen psychologist Georg Elias Müller, whom he later described as 'then the leading exponent of the exact laboratory methods in psychology' (McDougall 1961, 203). This training had brought him into contact with the few British psychologists who had begun to engage psychological experimentation including W.H.R. Rivers, and James Sully. In an effort to import the German tradition of experimental study of mind to Britain, Sully had in 1897 acquired a set of laboratory equipment from Hugo Münsterberg that the latter had created for his own psychological laboratory in Freiburg (Valentine 1999, 212-213).'

 

Relevant passage from Valentine:

 

'Apart from that loaned by the Departments of Physics and Physiology, most of the equipment [for the UCL psychology laboratory] came from Freiburg, whence Hugo Münsterberg was departing for Harvard, as successor to William James. Münsterberg not only offered "cordial assistance in planning a course of suitable instruction" [note: 'Proposed Psychological Laboratory al University College London', p. 3, Galton Papers 325, University College London Library.'] but also equipment. The purchase of this was enabled through the anonymous donation. Again, the details are provided in the correspondence:

I have just had an offer from Munsterberg to let us have some of his apparatus collected for some years & improved by himself for £150. He is, it seems, going back to Harvard, & does not want to take his apparatus with him. I have answered his note saying that I will let him know later, but that I fear we have not have [sic] sufficient funds for accepting his tempting proposal.

Many thanks for your offer of pecuniary help.

Very truly yours, J Sully

I enclose Münsterberg's letter. [note: 'Letter from Sully lo Gallon, 26 March 1897, Galton Papers 325, University College London Library. Alas, Münsterberg's letter no longer accompanies Sully's.']

I have a fresh offer from Münsterberg of selected apparatus for £90.1 have sent it on to Rivers for him to see whether it will suffice for the scheme of work he has drawn up. I will send it on to you later. [note: 'Letter from Sully to Gallon, 11 April 1897, Galton Papers 325, University College London Library.']'
