Interesting. However, with respect to Holt's famous students,
over on the Neurotree website (intellectual genealogy), Holt
also has Harold Schlosberg (perhaps best known for the text
"Experimental Psychology" by Woodworth & Schlosberg and
someone named Floyd Henry Allport who had Gordon Allport
as a student.
