Edmund Clark Sanford (1859–1924) was an early American psychologist. He earned his PhD under the supervision of

Granville Stanley Hall at Johns Hopkins University, and then moved with Hall to Clark University in 1888, where he became the professor of psychology and the founding director of the psychology laboratory. He is best known for his 1887 Writings of Laura Bridgman and for his 1897 textbook, A Course in Experimental Psychology. This textbook was a manual on how to conduct experiential psychology. He was present at the creation of the American Psychological Association in 1892 and the creation of the Association of American Universities in 1900.[1] He was the cousin of another early psychologist, Milicent Shinn.[2]
