This paper identifies the institutional character of pre‐1920 psychology at Clark University with founding President G. Stanley Hall's active “patronage” of “outsiders,” argues that the origins of this institutional character can be found in Hall's own personal character and temperament, and traces the influence of this institutional character through much of the psychology done at Clark before 1920.
