Why Is James Drever Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Sir James Drever FRSE was a Scottish psychologist and academic who was the first Professor of Psychology at a Scottish university. Early life Sir James Drever was born on 8 April 1873 in Balfour, on Shapinsay Island, Orkney. After an argument between Drever's father and their landlord, he evicted the family from their home. Drever's family then migrated to Stromness. He was a rather delicate and sickly child who quickly grew fond of reading. Drever was gifted with the ability to learn and memorize things rapidly as well as retain the information. He could repeat several pages of his favorite author's works. At age fourteen Drever was indentured for four years as a pupil-teacher. He assisted the headmaster of the school for two years before breaking his indenture. Drever was willing to pay the penalty because he felt that he was wasting his time in regards to his own education. At this time he was living at 36 Lomond Road in Trinity, Edinburgh.
