== Personal life ==
George Humphrey was born in the county of Kent, England on July 17, 1889.〔 He was a student of Wilhelm Wundt, who inspired Humphrey’s early passion for experimental psychology. Psychologist Raymond Dodge also impacted Humphrey’s work in experimental psychology, as they amicably worked together at Wesleyan University. Being well known for his academic achievement and also highly regarded by his peers, Humphrey was selected by St. John’s College at Cambridge to be the first Dominion Fellow of the college’s new “Dominion Fellowship,” established in 1947, to recognize individuals with a profound commitment to study and scholarship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=F.C. )〕 He was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Humphrey married Muriel Miller in 1918, but after her death in 1955, he remarried the following year to his colleague Berta Hotchberger. He spent the last years of his life in St. John’s College at Cambridge, where he was actively involved in the school and surrounded by close friends. Humphrey died after an illness quickly took his life on April 24, 1966. In his honor, Queen’s University designated the main building of their department of psychology as Humphrey Hall.〔 His colleagues remembered him as being very friendly, active, and neat, but also tenacious of his opinions.〔
