“…The year 1909 was marked by the resignation from Johns Hopkins University of Psychological Review ’s editor, James Mark Baldwin, who was caught in a scandal that effectively ended his academic career (Wozniak & Santiago-Blay, 2013). Baldwin’s journals were turned over to his longtime assistant, Princeton’s Howard Warren, and to the young assistant professor who Baldwin had hired at Hopkins only months before, John B. Watson.…”

This study continues a previous investigation of the intellectual structure of early American psychology by presenting and analyzing 3 networks that collectively include every substantive article published in Psychological Review during the 15-year period from 1909 to 1923. The networks were laid out such that articles (represented by the network's nodes) that possessed strongly correlated vocabularies were positioned closer to each other spatially than articles with weakly correlated vocabularies. We identified distinct research communities within the networks by locating and interpreting the clusters of lexically similar articles. We found that the Psychological Review was in some turmoil during this period compared with its first 15 years attributable, first, to Baldwin's unexpected departure in 1910; second, to the pressures placed on the discipline by United States entry into World War I; and, third, to the emergence of specialty psychology journals catering to research communities that had once published in the Review. The journal emerged from these challenges, however, with a better-defined mission: to serve as the chief repository of theoretical psychology in the United States.

“…Calamity struck, however, in October of 1908 when Baldwin was arrested in a Baltimore brothel. Although the matter was hushed up for a few months, it became public early in 1909 and he was forced to resign his professorship, his editorships, and his presidency of the International Congress (Wozniak & Santiago‐Blay, ) . Unable to secure any academic employment in the United States, Baldwin moved with his family to France, where he lived out most of the rest of his life, writing occasionally on the politics of French‐American relations (Wozniak, ).…”

There are many different ways to assess the significance of historical figures. Often we look at the influence of their writings, or at the important offices they held with disciplinary institutions such as universities, journals, and scholarly societies. In this study, however, we took a novel approach: we took the complete memberships, ca. 1900, of four organizations-the American Psychological Association, the Western Philosophical Association, the American Philosophical Association, and the Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology-and visualized them as a network. We then identified individuals who "bridged" between two or more of these groups and considered what might be termed their "centrality" to the psychological-philosophical community of their time. First, we examined these figures qualitatively, briefly describing their lives and careers. Then we approached the problem mathematically, considering several alternative technical realizations of "centrality" and then explaining our reasons for choosing eigenvector centrality as the best for our purposes. We found a great deal of overlap among the results of the qualitative and quantitative approaches, but also some telling differences. J. Mark Baldwin, Edward Buchner, Christine Ladd Franklin, and Frank Thilly consistently emerged as highly central figures. Some more marginal figures such as Max Meyer, and Frederick J. E. Woodbridge, Edward A. Pace, Edward H. Griffin played interesting roles as well.

“…Murray Butler, over governance and academic freedom (Rosenthal, 2006). Also apt would be documents about James Mark Baldwin and John B. Watson's self-inflicted difficulties at Johns Hopkins concerning their personal behavior (Buckley, 1989;Wozniak & Santiago-Blay, 2013) or documents related to Edward Tolman's response to the University of California's imposition of a loyalty oath in 1950 (Carroll, 2012), a landmark in the history of academic freedom.…”
