On This Day: 28 September
1838 - Charles Darwin read Thomas Malthus's essay on population. Malthus's ideas on species survival revealed the concept of natural selection to Darwin. He wrote, "It at once struck me that under these circumstances favourable variations would tend to be preserved and unfavourable ones to be destroyed. The result would be the formation of new species."
1899 - Nancy Bayley was born. Bayley was a premier figure in developmental psychology. She initiated the longitudinal Berkeley Growth Study and developed the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. She was the first woman to receive the APA's Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award, in 1966. American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal, 1982.
1928 - Joan Guilford was born. Guilford's specialties have been psychometrics, differential psychology, and industrial psychology.
1945 - The Ladies Home Journal published an article about the baby-tender built by B. F. Skinner to serve as an environmentally controlled crib for his daughter Debbie. The article, titled "Baby in a Box," created widespread misunderstanding, occasional angry reactions, and persistent false rumors of child abuse and maladjustment.

The mission of the Davidson College Psychology Department is to provide students with an outstanding education in all aspects of the science and practice of psychology. As committed teachers, researchers, practitioners, and advisers, we offer our students a rigorous curriculum of courses, research opportunities, and field experiences, combined with individualized mentoring. Thus are our students fully prepared to use their knowledge of psychology to flourish and to reach their highest level of professional attainment in their lives after Davidson. Critical to this mission, the department continuously works to maintain its standing as a nationally recognized center of psychological research and scholarship by supporting, encouraging, and facilitating the professional development of its faculty and staff. As psychologists who are dedicated to contributing to our discipline, we maintain a positive climate of collegiality, collaboration, high standards, and overall daily excellence within the department, from which our faculty as well as our students benefit both personally and professionally.
