He became the first man to hold the title of professor of applied psychology. He was appointed to this position by the man who established the first graduate school of industrial psychology. Walter VanDyke Bingham, at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1915. The first Ph.D. in the field was given by this institution in 1921 to Bruce V.Moore.
