Biographical Sketch
Father Vincent Victor Herr, S.J. was born 2 July, 1901 in Metamora, Ohio, and
spent his youth in Caraghar, Ohio. He was ordained on 22 June, 1932 at St. Mary’s in
Kansas, and he took his final vows on 2 February, 1937.
Father Herr earned his A.B. and M.A. degrees from St. Louis University, which
he attended from 1923 through 1926, and during the following 12 years he rarely paused
in his studies. After teaching biology for three years at Xavier University in Cincinnati,
Father Herr spent 2 years each studying theology at St. Louis University and St. Mary’s.
He continued his education for another year in Cleveland, and studied for one term at
University of Michigan before leaving the United States for Europe in 1936. Thereafter
he spent one year at the University of Vienna performing graduate work under Karl
Buehler, as well as one semester at the University of London. Another year was spent at
the University of Bonn in Germany, from 1938 to 1939, where Father Herr studied
Experimental Psychology in a program patterned after that of German psychologist
Oswald Külpe’s Wüerzburg School of Psychology. Father Herr left Germany in 1939 and
began his lifelong career at Loyola University.
By this time Father Herr was deeply involved in developing psychological tests
that measured visual literacy, cognitive and behavioral aptitude, color preferences as they
relate to personality traits, physiological psychology, and associative psychological
indices. While interested in the pioneering work of others, Father Herr was dedicated to
adapting existing investigative models to more accurately model his own lines of inquiry.
One of his earliest projects involved the building of a psychogalvanometer, an electrical
device that measured subtle changes in a person’s skin resistance in response to various
audile and visual stimuli in order to detect states of neuroticism.

Father Herr also developed a fairly long range word association study called the
Loyola Language Study (LLS), itself a modified form of the Kent-Rosanoff Association
Test. The LLS was conducted in several states simultaneously, primarily Boston,
Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco, and was used to determine psychologically
normative behaviors. A fair number of the tests were conducted either in High School or
College settings, or in homes for people diagnosed with psychological abnormalities.
Along with the LLS, Father Herr also took part in the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality
Inventory (MMPI), conducted numerous visual experiments based on Hering’s Color
Disks, and synthesized research on Mental Hygiene.
Perhaps his largest ongoing study was the National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH) sponsored the Religion and Mental Health Project at Loyola, which sought to
describe the psychological state of religious orders, as well as assess seminarians’ mental
health. Father Herr spent many of his later years with Loyola conducting research for the
NIMH study, and all work on the study was completed by 1966.
Father Herr was the author of at least five books and contributed to at least as
many more; his books include General Psychology, and Social Psychology: How We
Influence Each Other. He was chairman of Loyola’s Psychology Department from 1945
to 1968, and was President of the American Catholic Psychological Association from
1954 to 1955. He was also a member of the Catholic Philosophical Association, the
Chicago Society of Catholic Psychologists, and Delta Epsilon Sigma. He counted among
his experimental psychologist peers Reverend Hubert Gruender of St Louis, Father
Joseph Lindoworsky of Prague, Father Alexander Willwoll of Munich and Father Joseph
Froebes of Germany.
Father Herr died 29 May 1970 of a coronary ailment while sleeping. He was 68
years old.

gathered related to his professional studies, such as catalogs, advertisements and
operating manuals for technical equipment.
Series 3: Coursework and Student Theses, 1945 – 1969, Boxes 6-8

Consists of a decade-long, multi-state, word association study conducted by

several other locations. Much of the study is concerned with discovering inherent
differences in individuals’ word associations between “normal” adolescent and adult lay
and secular populations vs. “abnormal,” primarily closed populations of individuals
diagnosed as either schizophrenic or psycho-neurotic. The collection includes articles,
correspondence, individuals’ responses to the questionnaire, summary reports, raw

questionnaires, conference materials and data related to the psychological health of
seminarians and religious practitioners. Includes a fair amount of documentation and
correspondence with Yeshiva and Fred Hollander from the mid-60s.
Series 6: Psychogalvanometer, 1948 – 1964, Boxes 15-16
Consists of materials used by Father Herr in constructing a psychogalvanometer
(a device which is the immediate predecessor of today’s modern lie detectors) and of
early studies investigating the use of electric skin resistance tests. Includes the original
psychogalvanometer used by Father Herr.
Series 7: Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, 1958 – 1967, Box 16
Consists of a few brief overviews of the theory and methodology behind the
MMPI project, as well as an intact introductory kit.

Consists of primary experimental psychology testing materials, as developed by
Father Herr or by his colleagues and by for-profit societies; includes color preference
tests, associative tests, questionnaires, word and sentence fragment tests, puzzles,
illusions, and research notes. Includes some examples of Father Herr’s personal pitch
differential acetate records, though they are in fragile condition.
