I have learned something new in this thread, though - I had always thought that Kamin was much younger - but apparently he received his Ph.D. at Harvard in about 1954? Curiously, that would put him there at about the same time as Herrnstein was in graduate school. Given their very different views, I wonder if they clashed on this issue in grad school? It might even explain some of their later conflicts on this issue - which were anything but friendly.
Does anyone have any firm information on this?
According to Catania (2002, JEAB), the various labs scattered around Harvard had been all relocated to the basement of Memorial Hall during 1946-47. So it would seem that Kamin and Herrnstein would have had contact during graduate school.
At the least, Herrnstein would have known about Kamin's troubles with the House Committee on Unamerican Activities.
