The Yale physicist and natural philosopher concluded his address by declaring: "The concepts of parapsychology may well turn out to be at first completely different from the concepts of contemporary physics. The other behavioral sciences are not fashioned precisely after the patterns of inorganic behavior; yet they are acceptable and they succeed ...
