Hollingworth, Leta Stetter
Gifted children; Stanford-Binet Test
The subject of the thesis on which I am now working, is
definitely approved and published (decided June, 1925); the
other requirements are practically finished.
__Apollonius, [Diocetes?] of Egypt__ (3rd century B.C. Egyptian
history, 1923)
Worked on order of Pliny's letters (1924-25)
At present reading Greek papyri.
Making my [illegible] in Modern European History, worked
on Irish constitutional history (1924-1925)
RESEARCHES OF E
When E was 10 years old he made an original contribution in
connection with the Pentateuch, and was made a member of The
Oriental Society of Research in Jerusalem.
At 13 years of age E was first admitted to the Bodleian Library,
at Oxford, for purposes of research.
In 1923 E presented his M.A. essay--"Appolonius, Diocetes of
Egypt"--which pertains to Egyptian history of the third century
B.C. and is on file in the Library of Columbia University.
E has also done research (1924-1925) on the order of Pliny's
letters; on Irish constitutional history (1924-1925); and was
in 1926 and 1927 reading Greek papyri.
The subject of his dissertation to be submitted in partial
fulfillment of the requirements of the Ph.D. was reported as
"Feudal Estates in Byzantine Egypt." [14]
SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT
A summary of E's development over the period from 1916 to 1927,
given in the table [below], shows clearly that the superior
magnitudes, both of mental caliber and of physical size, so
markedly present at the age of 8 years, are maintained as growth
terminates.
