Now who had Franz Boaz at #1?

I had the usual suspects identified: Titchener, James, Hall,
Freud, Jung but I didn't recognize that Franz Boas and E. B. Holt
were there also.
Jeez, ... missing E. B. Holt. I need to turn in my history-aware
secret-decoder ring.

PS - Here is a story for Nancy Melluci (a Bryn Mawr College [BMC]
graduate). When I was a grad student at BMC, I was looking for
equipment to adapt/scavenge and was looking through a bone-yard
in a room on the 3rd floor of the Psych/Anthro building. There
were Y-maze parts likely from the Jeff Bitterman era, old
Marchant calculators, other equipment, and an original print of
the 1909 photo in a dinged frame. I had instant historian-lust
for that photo (no other description is possible) because I
recognized James and Freud but after considerable rumination I
informed someone of its possible significance. I hope it was
rescued and placed in a prominent location.
PPS - On the other hand, I do have a piece of equipment of
historical significance. I was ordered to empty another
bone-yard and throw its contents in the trash at UT-Knoxville.
In that room, I found a very crude-looking cumulative recorder
which I salvaged. (Technically, it went into the trash and then I
climbed into the dumpster and retrieved it. Retrieving items from
dumpsters was a fear I overcame as a money-less undergrad.)
I had snail-mail exchanges with both Skinner and the people at
Ralph Gerbrands about the device. The recorder appears to be one
of the batch of the original 50 recorders made by Gerbrands.
Skinner wrote me that he didn't even have one to send to the
Smithsonian.
