After the Victorian neighborhood of my childhood, Nicole and I hoofed it up to Worcester, MA. Apparently the area has the largest concentration of universities and colleges in the US. Our visit was to Clark University.
Clark's a neat combination of big research school and small liberal arts college. There's only 2500 students total (a 1/10th of BYU's population), but their Psych department is as big as ours. It's one of the schools I'm applying to this year. So far they've received 150 applications (they only have one open professorship position)!
A 101 years ago a professor at Clark (G. Stanley Hall, first president of the APA) invited Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung and, my favorite, William James [for those not in the know these are all famous people in psychology). It was the only time Freud lectured in America. So they built a statue:
I hear that Siggie was actually a bit smaller in real life.
