Description
The third piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Hall extends a second invitation to Freud to speak at the 1909 conference, noting an additional financial offer and the conference's shift from July to September. Freud had been unable to accept the original July dates.
Clark University's 1909 conference was a celebration of the institution's twentieth anniversary. The conference is most notable for the participation of Sigmund Freud who, along with Carl Jung, would take their first and only trip to America to attend. The five lectures Freud gave, collectively titled “The Origin and Development of Psychoanalysis” and subsequently known in print as “Five Lectures on Psychoanalysis”, mark the formal introduction of his theories to the United States.
