Notes:

Lester F. Beck was an Associate Professor of Psychology as well as a Secretary Treasurer at the University of Oregon.  He was responsible for the research and planning that resulted in production of the widely accepted E.C. Brown Trust film called “Human Growth”.  Brown University awarded its first ever Ph.D. degree in psychology in 1933 to Lester F. Beck, whose topic was “Manual Skills and the Measurement of Handedness.”  Here is a link to his IMDB page http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1393104/.
