He was the first Canadian, and only the second non-American, to hold the office.〔Hugo Münsteberg (1898) was the first non-American APA president. He was born, raised, and educated in Germany. George Stuart Fullerton (1896) was born in India, but was American. Joseph Jastrow was born in Poland, but immigrated to the US at the age of 3. Charles Hubbard Judd (1909) was born in India to American parents who returned with him to the US at the age of 6. Carl Seashore (1911) was born in Sweden, but lived in the US from the age of 3.

At his death in 1919, he was the designate to succeed Granville Stanley Hall as president of Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts.
==Early life==
John W. Baird was born in Motherwell, Ontario, a farming town about 50 km. north of the city of London, Ontario. He was the eighth of twelve children. His oldest brother, Andrew Browning Baird (1855–1940) became a prominent Presbyterian minister in western Canada, serving as Moderator of the church in 1916, and was involved in the creation of the United Church of Canada in the 1925.
John Baird suffered from chronic health conditions from early in life and, so, did not complete his secondary schooling until the age of 19. Only five years later did he travel to the University of Toronto to begin an undergraduate degree in philosophy. There, he fell under the influence of the director of the experimental psychology laboratory, August Kirschmann, who had just arrived in Toronto after serving as assistant to the man widely regarded as the founder of experimental psychology, Wilhelm Wundt, in Leipzig, Germany. Baird graduated with a second class degree in 1897, writing his senior research project on the anomalous color vision of a fellow student, R. J. Richardson (Baird & Richardson, 1900).
