i fit! ;.rl L ft Friday, April 13, 1962 DAILY TAR HEEL Page Three r Plaque Honors Psyc Professor Dashiell By NANCY VON LAZAR A unique bronze plaque honoring Kenan Professor Emeritus John Frederick Dashiell of the Depart ment of Psychology has just been placed in the main hall of the psy chology building. Dr. Dashiell, who is currently a visiting distinguish ed professor at Florida State Uni versity, is nationally noted for his research, leadership and editorial contributions to psychology. He is the founder of the UNC Psychol ogy Department and served as its chairman from 1920 to 1929. The Psychology Department felt that a sculptored plaque honoring Dr. Dashiell would be a more un usual way of commemorating his service to the University than the routine oil painting. Last summer, young John Mc Curdy. the son of Psychology Pro fessor Harold G. McCurdy. chal lenged the department to let him do the sculpturing job. John had just graduated from Duke Univer sity. An amateur painter, he had done several paintings and some portraits in oil, but had never done any sculpturing. Using just one photograph of Dr. Dashiell, John put together a sketch representing Dr. Dashiell in a characteristic pose. The idea was wholly acceptable with the Psy chology Department. Began Work Then John Began work on the clay models for the plaque. His success with the plaque stems from his liking for Dr. Dashiell, and he requested that the famous psychologist have some extra photo graphs made of his hands which are quite special. Dr. Dashiell was at one time a semi-pro baseball player. His hands are part-of his character they are strong and cap able looking, with veins which seem to pop right out of the skin. The plaque was taken to New York by the McCurdys,. where it was cast 'in bronze. The finished product shows Dr. Dashiell holding a rat Dr. Dashiell was known for his experimentation with .white rats; the Psychology, building was at one time called, the "Mouse leum." The plaque also" represents Dr. Dashiell's work' with decision time experiments, picturing a stop watch, and his schematic represen tation of the nervous system. In the upper left corner of the plaque is an outline of the nervous system. The plaque is a "straightforward likeness of Dr. Dashiell," said Pro fessor John Thibaut, chairman of the department. "Offhand, I don't know of any other plaque com memorating an important figure in psychology," he said. "We in the department felt it is a unique way of honoring such an important per son," he said. In addition to his work at the UNC Psychology Department here, Dr. Dashiell has also served as the president of the American Psy chological Association. He is . the author of major psychological texts, including "Fundamentals of Ob jective Psychology."
