We are indeed. I know a fellow who was once a student of Karl Dallenbach's. After Dallenbach got his PhD in Titchener's lab, he spent a term in Wuerzburg, taking courses from Oswald Kuelpe. Dallenbach used to tell a story about the day that Kuelpe was going on about the great philosopher, Wilhelm Yahmez. Dallenbach had never heard of this person. After a while of this, he turned to the student next to him and sheepishly asked who Yahmez was. The student turned to him in surprise and said, "You know, the famous American pragmatist, Wilhelm Yahmez," and then spelled the surname: "J-A-M-E-S." Chris -- Christopher D.
