Info.on Herbert Woodrow and James R. Angell

greenspun.com : LUSENET : History & Theory of Psychology : One Thread

For my Hist of Psy. class, we have to write a paper on two APA Presidents. The paper must include boigraphical information, an obituary, and a list of published works, along with a discussion of a published article. The two presidents I'm working on are Herbert Woodrow and James R. Angell. I am having huge difficulties finding information on them, especially biographical. Do you know where i could find anything? Thanks!

Obituaries of famous psyhcologists are often found in the journal, _American Psychologist_, usually within a year of their death, though not always. Also, have a look at Leonard Zusne's _Biographical Dictionary of Psychology_ and at the APA's _Encyclopedia of Psychology_ (both of which are probably available in your library).

There is an index to the American Psychologist obituaries at the APA archives website http://www.apa.org/archives/apobits.html
