ABSTRACT
This chapter about Edward Chace Tolman is a presentation in two parts. The second part is essentially the speech I gave on the occasion of Tolman's centennial, held in Tolman Hall, on the Berkeley campus of the University of California in June, 1986. Since, on that occasion, I spoke primarily from the perspective of a student, I said very little about Tolman's life. To rectify this omission I am including, as the first part of this chapter, a brief biography. Most of it comes from Tolman's (1952) chapter in A History of Psychology in Autobiography . All of the quotations are from pages 323–339 of that publication.
