Educational Psychology Lecture by Professor Harris

Professor W. T. Harris delivered the second lecture on Educational Psychology at Boston University examining conception versus perception. He argued perception is a special mental picture while conception is a general idea and stressed the mind’s essential forms, space and time, causality, and energy as basis for experience and education. The next talk is set for Dec 12 on the Logical Constitution of Sense Perception, with a note on a Bostonian Society meeting where James F. Hunnewell will discuss the naval station at this port in the War of 1812.
