Charles Hubbard Judd

Charles Hubbard Judd (1873 to 1946) was an American educational psychologist who helped shape the discipline and pressed for scientific methods in the study of education. Born in Bareilly, British India, to American missionary parents, he returned to the United States with them in 1879, took his degree at Wesleyan University in 1894 and earned a doctorate at the University of Leipzig in 1896 under Wilhelm Wundt, whose Outlines of Psychology he later translated into English. He directed the psychological laboratory at Yale from 1907 to 1909, then led the Department of Education at the University of Chicago from 1909 until he retired in 1938. His books include Genetic Psychology for Teachers, Psychology of High-School Subjects and Psychology of Social Institutions.
