Fellows of in the Philosophy and Psychology Departments of University of Chicago

We have long been greedy for information about Mead's philosophy and psychology students like that J. David Lewis and Richard L. Smith (1980) assembled from Mead's grade sheets for his sociology students. In the table below, you will find a very poor substitute.  It lists the names of "Fellows" in the Department of Philosophy and Psychology as listed in the University of Chicago Register, the annual university calendar. Unfortunately, the Register stopped listing departmental fellows in the 1924-25 edition. 

Unlike the Lewis and Smith list that identifies which students took what course when,  this list only suggests that these people were in the department during that time.  The limitations of its interpretations should be clear.  But by way of illustration, consider some examples. Louis L. Thurstone does not appear on the list -- yet his first book The Nature of Intelligence (1924) references Mead's social psychology lectures as its source.  Milbourne Otis Wilson does appear on the list but little of his career was involved with any aspect of social psychology (his appearance as co-editor on two of the Muzafer Sherif's Crossroads books reflects Wilson's position as departmental chairman than any involvement in social psychology).
