Abstract
THE difficulties in compiling a “Who's Who” of any kind are twofold: first, to decide who shall be included; and secondly, to obtain accurate entries. The second difficulty is overcome to a large extent by obtaining particulars directly from the individuals concerned, but, as Prof. Murchison remarks in his preface, it is not easy to surmount the language obstacle in dealing with a work which has to cover the whole world. The first difficulty, however, is more serious. In the volume before us, all full members, and also all associate members with Ph.D. degrees, of the American Psychological Association, which has high technical requirements for admission, are included. For other countries Prof. Murchison has had to depend on the nominations of the members of his editorial board; thus Dr. F. C. Bartlett has acted for the British Empire, Dr. H. Pieron for Latin countries outside Italy, and Dr. Z. Y. Kuo and Dr. E. Shen have furnished Chinese names.
