The first professorship in philosophy at Johns Hopkins University was contested in the early 1880s by two of the most prominent and influential scholars in America: Charles Sanders Peirce and George Sylvester Morris. A third figure also vied for the position, although he was much less well known at the time: Granville Stanley Hall. Through a series of unexpected circumstances, Hall ultimately won the professorship and then used it to leverage an extraordinary career that included his opening the first American research laboratory in psychology, establishing the American Journal of Psychology, becoming president of Clark University, founding the American Psychological Association, and profoundly affecting the character of developmental psychology in America.
19世纪80年代初，约翰·霍普金斯大学的首个哲学教授职位由美国两位最杰出、最具影响力的学者争夺：查尔斯·桑德斯·皮尔斯和乔治·西尔维斯特·莫里斯。还有第三位人物也竞争该职位，尽管他当时的知名度要低得多：格兰维尔·斯坦利·霍尔。由于一系列意想不到的情况，霍尔最终赢得了教授职位，随后利用这个职位成就了非凡的职业生涯，其中包括开设美国第一个心理学研究实验室、创办《美国心理学杂志》、担任克拉克大学校长、创立美国心理学会，以及深刻影响美国发展心理学的特质。
