Abstract:
Psychologist and Clark's first president (1888 - 1920). It includes
correspondence with other well known psychologists, including
Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, former students, including Lewis
Terman and Arnold Gesell, and faculty including, Franz Boaz,
George Blakeslee, and Albert A. Michelson. Other material
includes speeches, articles and photographs.
This Scope and Content Note is a part of The Register to the Papers of G. Stanley Hall. Because most of its
35 pages is made up of the finding aids to the Hall papers, it is suggested that this be purchased by researchers
who are considering visiting the Clark University Archives to do primary research in this collection. The cost,
including shipping, is $5.
There is also a booklet of over 50 pages in length that discusses Freud and Jung's trip to and lectures at the
1909 psychology conference at Clark University. It is by William A. Koelsch, Clark University's former
historian, and is titled 'Incredible Day-Dream': Freud and Jung at Clark, 1909. The cost, including shipping, is
$5.
There are also two photos available of the 1909 Psychology Conference at Clark University. One is of
Sigmund Freud, G. Stanley Hall, Carl Jung, A. A. Brill, Ernest Jones, and Sandor Ferenczi; an 8 X 10 black and
white photo of this costs $25. The other is of both those who spoke at and who attended the conference on
September 10, 1909; there were over forty people in the photo including the men in the other photo as well as
William James and J. M. Cattell; an 8 X 10 black and white photo of this costs $25.
Checks can be sent to: Clark University Archives, 950 Main Street, Worcester, MA 01610.

G. Stanley Hall
Scope and Contents of the Collection :
Collection
The papers described in this Register are amalgamated from
Overview
two segments of the G. Stanley Hall papers, separated for a half-
century. A large quantity of Hall materials, including family
Biographical Note
and most professional correspondence, became the property of Dr.
Robert G. Hall after his father's death, and were shipped to his
home in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Hall, for some years, consulted
Scope and Contents
Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, a Clark alumnus and Dean of the School of
of the Collection
Education at the University of Oregon, on matters of access and
literary rights. Sheldon had made copies of many of Hall's
Series Descriptions
letters while preparing a projected volume for publication, and
he sent copies of some of the more important items to the Clark
University Library. Attempts by Clark to obtain the originals
Content List
did not come to fruition, and in the course of the years a large
portion of the Oregon deposit was destroyed. Surviving originals
and copies of letters to and from Hall and his family, as well as
some scattered professional correspondence (including a number of
original William James letters) were lent to Dorothy Ross by Dr.
Hall in the 1960's. He did this with the understanding that upon
completion of her biography of his father, they would be
deposited at Clark. These are the papers referred to in the Ross
biography as the G. Stanley Hall Papers, or HP.
The second segment of Hall papers, remaining at Clark, was
largely, though not entirely, official correspondence. These
materials too underwent separation and recombination over the
years, with some materials being held in the Registrar's Office,
with others (largely memorabilia or letters valuable for their
signatures) in the Psychology Department, yet others in the
President's Office, and still others in the vault of the Library.
These, plus the Sheldon transcripts, are referred to in the Ross
biography as the Clark University Papers (CUP) After the Robert
Hutchings Goddard Library was opened in 1969, these materials
were gradually assembled under one roof. They were joined, in
the Fall of 1971, by the Oregon segment (HP) as well as by other
materials gathered by Ms. Ross in the preparation of her
biography.
Given the vicissitudes of the manuscripts, it was not
possible to determine the original file order for more than a few
parts of the collection. The two main segments have been
combined into a defensible common classification, largely by
subject since most of the surviving Clark University papers were
http://www.clarku.edu/offices/library/archives/HallScope.htm

The G. Stanley Hall Papers: Scope and Contents

already in subject folders. A few anomalies persist, of which
the most important is the fact that at some previous time the
correspondence of President Hall (Clark University) and of
President Sanford (Clark College) with faculty members was
combined into individual faculty folders. The contents of those
folders have not been separated, although in a few cases the
faculty folder will include only Sanford correspondence. As new
discoveries of Hall papers are made, they will be integrated into
this classification unless they obviously belong with another
collection.
The Clark University Archives contains additional Hall
manuscripts. This includes two sets of bound volumes of
Collected Works (cited in the Ross biography as CW), which
include some manuscript articles and addresses, a bound volume of
handwritten tributes to Hall on the twenty-fifth anniversary of
his doctorate, 1903, and a bound letterbook covering the years
1889-1890. Furthermore, there is correspondence with former
Clark students of Hall. These letters were originally filed in
student folders, but were separated out and were put into their
own series in the Hall papers. A few Hall manuscripts can also
be found in other collections held by the University Archives,
such as the George Hubbard Blakeslee papers. A manuscripts card
catalogue, which includes all of these, has been created.
The
Archives also holds a large quantity of printed material by and
relating to Hall, as well as photographic material. A lengthy
series of scrapbooks, both annual and on special topics (referred
to in the Ross biography as Clippings,
, provides much
additional information on Hall and the University. G. Stanley
Hall's library is presently divided between the University
Department of Special Collections and the G. Stanley Hall
Memorial Room in the Department of Psychology.
Literary rights in the unpublished writings of G. Stanley
Hall and the Hall family in the Hall papers were transferred in
February, 1972, to the Trustees of Clark University through the
generosity of Dr. Robert Hall's widow, Edith M. Hall, and his
son, Robert M. Hall. Permission to use and to quote from the
Hall papers must be secured from the University Archivist.
Notes, letters, interviews, materials, etc., in Box 32, gathered
for her biography by Ms. Ross, are open without restriction;
quotation may be made without permission from Ms. Ross SO long as
the source is duly cited.
The G. Stanley Hall Collection is housed in Clark University's Archives and Special Collections area of the
Robert H. Goddard Library.

18 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston.
April 14th, 1909.
President G. Stanley Hall,
Clark University,
Worcester, Mass.
My dear President Hall,
You asked for a cony of Mrs Piver's hand-writing the
other day and perhaps the enclosed note to me, which need not be
returned, may serve your purpose.
I do not yet know whether I shall be here next Tuesday or not
but if I do not meet you at the station, as before. then you will
go to Mrs Piper's without me as I understand it. Her address is
123 Hemenway Street, but in case the question should arise
kindly do not let it go to any one outside.
I hope you will try your list of words experiment next time
before Mrs Piper passes into trance, for it seens to ice a very in-
teresting one and important to make the comparison wi th the normal
state when fresh.
In case I do not go with you, please make arrangement with the
Control, while Mrs Piper is in trance, for your next meeting and let
me know the date they fix, SO that I can make sure that it will not
conflict with any other.
Yours sincerely,
Euge B. Desi
April 16, 1909.
George 3. Dorr, Esqre.,
18 Commonwealth Avenue,
Boston, Mass.
My dear Mr. Dorr:
Thank you for your kind letter of the 14th
and also the sample of hand-writing enclosed.
Te will go directly to Mrs. Piper's address.
I observe and understand your suggestion about
not mentioning this latter. I hope it will be
convenient for you to be present, for you have
been of very creat assistance to HS.
I note also what you say about making the
word experiments first and also making the
ar angements with the control white Mrs. ?.
is in the trance. The only thing is our money
runs out with this third sitting.
I am,
Very truly yours,
[G.S.Hall]
18 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston.
April 17th, 1909.
President G. Stanley Hall,

Worcester, Mass.
My dear President Hall,
I think your observation and study of the Piper
are
trance important one to make and place on record, so I will
assume responsi Ibility for the excense of what further sittings you
may wish to take for observation of it this spring.
I will meet you on Tuesday at the train and go with you again
if I am in Boston, but it is doubtful whether I shall be here then.
Please let me know at once after your sitting what arrangements you
make for further meeting, so that I may make arrangement for the
days left free.
Yours sincerely,

Q.S. Hall.
Fe had our sixth and final sitting wi th
Mrs. Piper according to schedule on Tednesday,
the 26th. She seemed as usual, and the session
was of course the most important of all, because
it enabled us to bring to a head matters for
which the other sittings had been more or less
preparatory. I was sorry you could not be
present.
I beg now, however, to express my great
appreciation of your courtesy in starting US
off and in providing the means for our three
extra sittings, without which our scries would
have been incomplete indeed.
I am in hopes that I may get time to work
up the material this summer; but it may be
that there will have to be a little more delay

Following the October 1906 incorporation of the Bar Harbor Village
Library, Dorr takes the first steps toward establishment of a Eden
village library by involving Philip Livingston in yet another memorial
tribute to his recently deceased wife; the widower had already purchased
a fountain for the Eden Village Green. GBD wants a private library
without use fees that can house his growing horticultural collection.
Late Winter brought the issue of psychical research to the foreground.
The Special Collections at Clark University contain more than a dozen
pieces of correspondence between Dorr and Clark University researcher
G. Stanley Hall (G. Stanley Hall Papers. B27. f.9). Hall's career at
Harvard had involved a relationship with William James who now
encouraged Dorr to strike up a relationship with Hall since it would
"pay him to see the Temper in which you work at the phenomena." (Harvard
University. Houghton. Correspondence of William James. III. #118. March
10, 1909)
Dorr's scholarly interest in this phenomena tracks back more than fifty
years to his mother's earliest interest in psychical research. James
encourages Dorr to "give Hall carte blanche, [since] he won't do
anything violent, and the medium's reaction will be curious, I have no
doubt {for it is] pedantic to use psychological tests to make a
investigation scientific," when the only real question is Mrs. Piper's
supernormal knowledge." (Harvard University. Houghton. Correspondence of
William James. III. #118, March 24, 1909). Dorr remains anxious,
however, that Hall "should continue [these investigations] and make them
as thorough and as full as possible." (G. Stanley Hall Papers. B 27.
f.9, May 19, 1909).
The immediate issue is the worthiness of spiritualistic trance claims
made by Mrs. Piper. Between April 14th and May 29th Dorr facilitates
Hall's efforts to meet with Mrs. Piper to use the scientific methods of
that era to assess the merits of her utterances. Hall praises Dorr for
the "very great assistance" that he has provided (4.16.09, 5.28.09) and
when Hall exhausts funds to pay for the Piper sittings, Dorr covers the
costs of the final three encounters between the future Clark University
President and Piper. In a letter (7.8.09) to James shortly before his
death, Hall states that "our sessions with Mrs. Piper were extremely
interesting to me, and our report which will come out in the fall, will
if I am not mistaken present a new phase of the Piper problem." (G.
Stanley Hall Papers. B27. f.9)
In a dramatic episode later that Spring, Dorr obtains--with only minutes
to spare-- option to purchase what is now known as Sieur de Monts
Spring, a magnificent spring with a constant flow of clean water. Dorr
later calls the Spring "one of the foundation stones on which the future
park was built." "Title was taken to 30 acres at the Sieur de Monts
Spring for $5,000. and after cleaning out area he shaped the ground into
shell-like concave basin. Over the Spring itself he raised an octagonal
structure with a tiled roof of old Florentine design. Dorr placed a
glass plate over the spring enabling visitors to see the water gushing
out. A pipe carried the water away to where the public could drink of
it" (ANP Archives, Cultural Resource Description Report) Beside it the
granite marker stone the phrase "The Sweet Waters of Acadia" was etched.
In The Story of Acadia National Park Dorr refers to one of his most
"precious" memories involving a funding request from financier John S.
Kennedy. Dorr had been negotiating with the owners of land on Picket

STATEMENT by MR. CARRINGTON regarding the PALLADINO SEAUCES.
On account of the enormous amount of unwelcome publicity that
has arisen in connection with Signora Palladino's presence in America
it has become necessary for me to break silence and state a few facts,
in order to clear away public misconception.
First, as to the financial issue: I have received to date not
one cent from Mr. McClure, nor from any other individual or corporation,
towards Signora Palladino's expenses with the exception of the admittance
fees from a limited group of persons interested in this subject, at whose
suggestion I invited Signora Palladino to come to America, and who real-
ly instigated this Thole movement. This money has been placed in my
hands, inasmuch as I have been managing the whole undertaking, and
amounts to something over three thousand dollars. All this money,
and
more, will be spent on the seances, and I, myself, shall make nothing
whateverout of the series of seances contracted for; in fact, I shall
probably be out of pocket indirectly, as the result of them. It has
been necessary to charge a high admission fee owing to the enormous
expense involved in bringing Signora Palladino here. Apart from the
fees actually paid her, her first-class passage over and back from
Nalles of herself and her companion, the expenses of both these ladies
during their four months' stay in America, the salary of the interpreter,
the reporter, the photographer, the purchase of apparatus, the rent 01
the ro m in which these scances are held, - these expenses total a con-
siderable figure and have to be met by fees charged to sitters. Furth-
er, the cost of the series of sittings to be given to the scientific
men must be met. These man, themselves, will pay nothing for their
sittings and have been invited to attend them free. who is to pay for
this series of eight or ten sittings, which will occupy four or five
weeks' time? It will be seen that any surplus arising from paid sean-
ces can easily be spent on even a short series for the scientists, and
it is certain that the amount of money received from sitters, and more,
will be necessary to purchase an adequate series for this purpose.
As
I have received no financial support from anyone else than the sitters,
themselves, it will be seenthat there is no financial return to myself,
and my only compensation will be the articles which I shall write and
sell to McClure's Magazine, the same as one would handle any other lit-
erary material.
As to the publicity that has arisen in regard to this case, I
wish it distinctly understood that this has been unsought by me, and is
entirely contrary to my wishes. Having been converted to a belief in
the supernormal powers of Signora Palladino during my last year's ex-
periments in Naples, I desired to bring her to America in order that
she might be studied by members of the Society for Psychical Research
and by scientific men here, as she has been studied by similar men in
Europe. For that reason, and that reason only, I brought her to
America and gathered together the scientific committee. I desired no
newspaper accounts of any of these seances, and it is with deep regret
that I have noted the garbled and perverted accounts that have appeared
in the papers. I granted, without charge, the first se nce to the
press, hoping that we should thereafter be let alone and free to conduct
these experiments in a dignified, scientific manner. it our second
seance I refused admission to all newspaper men and at its close refused
to say one word. All the newspaper accounts of that were gathered
from sitters, mis noted, and lengthy accounts of it written, contrary
to my expressed wish. I shall hereafter insist that sitters give out
no statements whatever, and shall conduct these sittings in seclusion
and endeavor in every way possible to escape notoriety. Some eminent
scientific men who have consented to participate in the investigation
of Signora Palladino, have protested against the newspaper publicity,
and it seems possible that, if it continues, some of them may withdraw.
My chief object in bringing Signora Palladino to America was to interest
and convert these men. It must he obvious that, so far from courting
this publicity, I have every reason to avoid it, and I shall try to do
SO in every way possible.
As to the reality of the phenomena: I have invited to
witness
these seances, newspaper men, business men, conjurers and scientific
men, as well as members of our society. The precautions taken
by
me
to prevent fraud appeared adequate to the representatives of the press
at the time, and I should be glad to resubmit for investigation the
premises in which these seances are held and everything therein con-
tained at the time. As I do not control the medium, myself, at any of
these sittings, the responsibility is thrown upon the sitters, them-
selves. that more could I do to ensure confirmation of the genuineness
of these phenomena? I anyone can suggest another method within reason
I should be glad to follow it.
