ABSTRACT
I worked under Lee Cronbach from 1956 to 1962, sometimes as one of more than ten and sometimes as the only one. It was his last period in Illinois which covered the period from the time he was elected President of APA to the time he decided to move to Stanford. In retrospect, it was one of his “Strum und Drang” periods both academically and personally, and I wonder how he found the time to work so closely and patiently with us students and assistants who started as novices in the psychometric problem field he was struggling to explore. Later he even agreed to spend a year in Japan which was at that time virgin territory as far as his major interests were concerned.
