Excerpt from The Color Sensitivity of the Peripheral Retina

This paper is the result of an experimental investigation conducted during the year 1903-4 in the Psychological Laboratory of Cornell University. It aims to make a contribution to our knowledge of the phenomena of indirect vision. It will present data obtained by the writer in a series of experiments upon the peripheral retina, and will attempt to correlate these data with the phenomena previously established, and with the theoretical principles advanced from time to time by other investigators.

An unequivocal and undisputed statement of the facts of the case is, of course, a necessary prerequisite to satisfactory progress in the domain of theory. So long as uncertainty prevails as to what sensations arise under given conditions of color stimulation, there can be no definite and certainly no unanimous envisagement of the process of color vision. That the investigation of the present problem has yielded wholly different results in the hands of different investigators is only too patent from the literature; but in late years a distinct tendency has set in toward harmony in the findings of the various experimenters who have attacked the problem, and it appeared for a time that we were at last upon the verge of a unanimity of agreement. The hope that this goal was ultimately to be reached, at least along lines already laid down, was, however, dashed by the results recently published by Hellpach. It seems eminently desirable, therefore, to work over the ground covered by Hellpach with a view to verifying his data and to discovering, if possible, the ground for their variation from those of his predecessors.

It might appear that one is doomed to disappointment who attempts to solve a problem which has already been attacked without satisfactory result by so many illustrious investigators.
