Cambridge University Department of Psychology
In 1877 James Ward proposed to open a laboratory in Cambridge to
study psychophysics, the relation between the physical properties of stimuli
and experienced sensations. This proposal was rejected by the University
because it would 'intuit religion by putting the soul on a pair of scales'.
However, in 1897, William Rivers was appointed University Lecturer in
Physiological and Experimental Psychology. Rivers was to become famous
as a neurologist, psychologist, anthropologist and psychiatrist. In 1901
Psychology acquired a room, in 1903 a property in Mil! Lane, and in 1912
the Psychological laboratory was founded. Research and teaching in
experimental psychology is continued to the present day.The Department
o f Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge is famous for
its teaching. Students are taught by researchers o f international importance
