Normally, I would probably not respond to general invitations of this sort. But I was surprised, awakened, let us say, by the news that the psychology department will soon be vacating Tolman Hall. This does seem to me an epochal event, for I believe that I was one of the first students of psychology at Berkeley to finish my Ph.D. on those quarters. I came to Berkeley in 1959 and finished my Ph.D. in 1963. My memory would have me in LSB until 1962, when I moved into the Toknab Hall room where I would perform my research and write my thesis. My degree was awarded in September 1963.



I daresay that I am among a small number of people who can still remember Edward Tolman. He was a person of quiet dignity and a powerful presence. I believe that he died in my first year at Berkeley.
