History of Clarence Hagen collection of autographs

In January 1938, Clarence Hagen, a young Harvard psychology student, sent numerous letters to prominent psychologists of the day asking them for their signatures and an accompanying photograph. It is unknown how many letters Hagen sent in total, but he received at least 30 autographs, which he placed in a small notebook that accompanied portraits of some of the psychologists torn from a textbook.

This collection of signatures was donated to the Center for the History of Psychology in September 2008 by William Adams. The signatures were originally put together in a small notebook with photographs of some of the psychologists represented.

Scope and Content

This collection contains one small notebook with 14 pages of signatures and photographs of psychologists from the 1930s. Also included with the notebook are two typewritten letters from Hagan requesting signatures from Gardner Murphy and Calvin P. Stone; these letters also contain the responses written at the bottom.
