Examines the correspondence of the members of the American Bureau of the International Congress of Psychology to determine why the 1913 Congress did not meet in the US as planned. The letters of J. M. Baldwin, W. James, J. M. Cattell, and J. B. Watson, among others, are discussed. It is concluded that interpersonal conflicts and piques among the American Bureau resulted in the congress's failure. (63 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
