* ''Birth: January 19th, [[1842]]''
* ''Full name: George Trumbull Ladd''
Prof. G. T. Ladd was born January 19, 1842. His first tour to
Japan was in [[1892]]. He was several times appointed a lecturer in the
Doshi-sha University, [[Kyoto]], and conducted the graduate seminary in
the summer school of the university. In [[1899]] he was invited by the
Dai-Nippon Educational Society of Japan, and again visited that country.
He delivered a series of lectures in the Tokyo Imperial University.
He was elected an honorary member of this great educational society
of Japan, granted an audience with the Emperor, who conferred on
him the decoration of the Order of the Rising Sun, third degree.
A great number of the philosophical works of this distinguished
psychologist have been translated into Japanese, and they were well read by the progressive Japanese of the time.
Professor Ladd was perhaps most widely known of the foreign
instructors in the universities and colleges of Japan during the [[Meiji Period]]. Many Japanese who occupied the highest chairs in philosophy,
psychology, ethics or theology in the universities of Japan, had, either
in the United States or in Japan, received his instruction. During his time as a professor at Yale, his home was a well known meeting place, among students and scholars.
