The Gray-Hobbs Vision

Abstract

Susan Gray and Nicholas Hobbs were visionaries. The John F. Kennedy Center is the most significant and enduring testimony of their vision, emerging as it did from their continuation of the distinguished tradition of psychology at George Peabody College. Established in 1914, Peabody College's Department of Psychology awarded the first doctorate in psychology in the South. Major figures in the history of the field, such as E. K. Strong and Joseph Peterson, placed psychology in service to Peabody College's mission of making a difference in education not only in the South, but nationally and internationally as well. Gray and Hobbs were close friends and associates who continued this tradition and founded Peabody College's modem era of psychology in the public interest. From the early 1950s through the remainder of their lifetimes, they encouraged and supported each other and a group of distinguished colleagues that grew in number and accomplishment, manifest in the 30-year history of the Kennedy Center.
