ABSTRACT
At twenty-five Susan Isaacs was studying intensely at Manchester University. As before in her childhood, the opportunity to learn was a solace in her mourning for a father who, despite the bitter period of estrangement, she nevertheless deeply loved. She read philosophy under the famous Professor Samuel Alexander and quickly won his interest and respect. Susan made many friends among her fellow students who admired and very much liked her. At Manchester Susan was elected as president of the women students. Her mind was gradually turning from philosophy to psychology and she very much welcomed the award of the scholarship in order to take up the study of psychology. The University of Manchester offered Susan an appointment as a lecturer in logic in the philosophy department. She became associated with the work of the National Institute of Industrial Psychology and was appointed a member of its council.
