Psychologist. Forrest Lee Dimmick, Cornell University Class of 1915, Ph.D. 1920, was
a psychologist and a professor at the University of Michigan, 1921-1925. He taught
at Hobart College from 1925-1947, and was head of the Vision Branch of the Naval Medical
Research Laboratory, Groton, Connecticut, 1947-1963.
Professional papers include correspondence with Karl M. Dallenbach, Edwin G. Boring,
and other participants from the Inter-Society Color Council concerning his research
in vision, particularly color vision, night vision, visual acuity, and color aptitude
testing; newsletters, color swatches, and testing materials concerning his work (1940+)
with Carl Foss and other members of the Inter-Society Color Council on the development
of the Color Aptitude Test (CAT), a project sponsored by the Federation of Societies
for Paint Technology; correspondence, minutes and pamphlets, 1955-1967, concerning
the work that Dimmick, Foss, and Deane B. Judd did as members of the Committee on
Uniform Color Scales of the Optical Society of America and for the National Bureau
of Standards; correspondence, notes, and reports, 1964-1967, concerning his retirement
activities as a consultant for the Biological Science Communications Project; papers
concerning Dimmick's color specifications research based on "Just Noticeable Differences
of Hue;" papers concerning his biographical research on his former professor, Edward
Bradford Titchener; letters from Titchener to Dimmick and Mrs. Dimmick; recorded interview
with Harry P. Weld, a Titchener colleague, and genealogical tables of the Titchener
family. Personal papers include family letters; photographs; and other material belonging
to Dimmick or his wife, Claire Comstock Dimmick.

Scope and Contents
In 1940 the Inter-Society Color Council began the development of its color aptitude
test. At the request of professional and industrial groups, the ISCC established a
subcommittee, problem 10, to develop a test that would measure an operator's capability
to make valid and reliable judgemnts of the likeness and difference of color samples.
Dimmick was the co-chairman of this committee and results about the findings of the
subcommittee have appeared in various numbers of the newsletter.
