timeline of psychology
calkins was the first female to complete all the coursework, examinations and research for a doctoral degree and, although it was never officially conferred, she is regarded as the first woman to get her doctoral degree in the field of psychology. in 1891, 12 years after the first psychology laboratory was established by wilhelm wundt in leipzig, germany, calkins established the first psychology lab to be founded by a female and also the first lab to be established at a women's college. the lab was funded by $200, while all other labs were funded by $800 or more. calkins had many of the apparatuses constructed at nearby venues. her lab was in the attic spaces of the fifth floor of college hall in wellesley college. with the laboratory to work in, she also taught a course in "psychology approached from the physiological standpoint". the fifty students who enrolled in this course were instructed in a number of areas of psychology and conducted experiments on such subjects as sensation and association. her laboratory was situated near the physics laboratory and a fire broke out from the lab that burned down her laboratory along with the other labs. neither students nor instructors were injured in the fire, but the first female psychology laboratory was destroyed. the laboratory was rebuilt and eleanor gamble later succeeded calkins in running the laboratory.
