ABSTRACT
In 1951, Joseph (Joe) McVicker Hunt left New York City for the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois. Hunt had already made several important contributions to American psychology by this time, but the move to Illinois led him into a golden period of work and influence from the time he arrived until his retirement in 1974 and even into a long and active retirement. These were the peak years of his intellectual and professional life. He initially served as the coordinator of training in clinical and counseling psychology. He was the director of the influential Ford Foundation Grant for the Behavioral Sciences, and, as detailed in this chapter, he made his most important and substantive contributions to the understanding of the development of human intelligence while at Illinois.
