Henry Rutgers Marshall

Who was Henry Rutgers Marshall?

Henry Rutgers Marshall was an American architect and psychologist. He was born in New York City; graduated from Columbia University in 1873; and became a practicing architect in New York in 1878. He lectured on æsthetics at Columbia in 1894-95 and at Princeton in 1915-16. Though Marshall achieved success as an architect and was president of the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects, he became better known perhaps as a psychologist. Rutgers and Hobart colleges gave him honorary degrees. He served as president of the American Psychological Association in 1907. His writings include:

Pain, Pleasure, and Æsthetics

Æsthetic Principles

Instinct and Reason

War and the Ideal of Peace
