Clark L Hull

born May 24, 1884, Akron, N.Y., U.S. died May 10, 1952, New Haven, Conn. U.S. psychologist. He taught at the University of Wisconsin (1918-29) and was a member of Yale University's Institute of Human Relations (1929-52). Hull engaged in three distinct research endeavours. His study of psychometrics culminated in Aptitude Testing (1929). His study of hypnosis resulted in Hypnosis and Suggestibility (1933). His major effort was reserved for an intensive study of learning that produced the dominant learning theory of the 1940s and '50s that learning was based on "habit strength." His important Mathematico-Deductive Theory of Rote Learning (1940) was followed by his highly influential Principles of Behavior (1943). Relying on the work of Edward L. Thorndike and John B. Watson, he attempted to develop a rigorous theory of learning that would account for all behaviours, human and animal. He and his followers produced many experiments and theoretical concepts, and their work dominated the experimental literature for more than two decades, but it eventually was replaced by a more cognitive psychology that provided a role for mental events

Herbert Clark Hoover

born Aug. 10, 1874, West Branch, Iowa, U.S. died Oct. 20, 1964, New York, N.Y. 31st president of the U.S. (1929-33). After graduating from Stanford University (1895), he became a mining engineer, administering engineering projects on four continents (1895-1913). He then headed Allied relief operations in England and Belgium. As U.S. national food administrator during World War I, he instituted programs that furnished food to the Allies and to famine-stricken areas of Europe. Appointed U.S. secretary of commerce (1921-27), he reorganized the department, creating divisions to regulate broadcasting and aviation. He oversaw commissions to build Boulder (later Hoover) Dam and the St. Lawrence Seaway. In 1928, as the Republican presidential candidate, he soundly defeated Alfred E. Smith. His hopes for a "New Day" program were quickly overwhelmed by the Great Depression. In response, he called business leaders to the White House to urge them not to lay off workers or cut wages, and he urged state and local governments to join private charities in caring for destitute Americans. Believing that a dole would sap the will of Americans to provide for themselves, he adamantly opposed direct federal relief payments to individuals, though in 1932 he finally allowed relief to farmers through the Reconstruction Finance Corp. After his electoral defeat in 1932 by Franklin D. Roosevelt, he regularly spoke out against what he considered the radicalism of the New Deal and Roosevelt's attempts to involve the U.S. in countering German and Japanese aggression. After World War II he participated in famine-relief work in Europe and was appointed head of the Hoover Commission

Lewis and Clark

two explorers, Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809) and William Clark (1770-1838), who travelled across North America from 1804 to 1806, going up the Missouri River and over the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific coast. They drew maps and gathered information about the Native American people who lived there

Lewis and Clark Expedition

(1804-06) First overland expedition to the U.S. Pacific coast and back, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Initiated by Pres. Thomas Jefferson, the expedition set out to find an overland route to the Pacific, documenting its exploration through the new Louisiana Purchase. About 40 men, skilled in various trades, left St. Louis in 1804. They traveled up the Missouri River into present-day North Dakota, where they built Fort Mandan (later Bismarck) and wintered among the Mandan Sioux. They left the next spring, hiring Toussaint Charbonneau and his Indian wife, Sacagawea, who served as guide and interpreter. They traveled through Montana and by horse over the Continental Divide to the headwaters of the Clearwater River. They built canoes to carry them to the Snake River and then to the mouth of the Columbia River, where they built Fort Clatsop (later Astoria, Ore.) and spent the winter. On the journey back the group divided, then reunited to canoe down the Missouri to St. Louis, arriving to great acclaim in September 1806. All but one member of the expedition survived. The journals kept by Lewis and others documented Indian tribes, wildlife, and geography and did much to dispel the myth of an easy water route to the Pacific
