In 1893, Williams College awarded Dodge with a Bachelor of Arts degree, where he concentrated on philosophy.  Dodge aspired to further his education and submitted his thesis “certain differences between psychological and philosophical conceptions of space”, to Harvard and Columbia.  His acceptance was denied.  In spite of his disappointment, he continued pursuing his professional degree.  Without knowledge of the German language, Dodge began classes at the University of Halle in Saale, Germany.  He would learn to speak the German language while continuing his studies in philosophy.  Under the leadership of Professor Erdmann, his work evolved into experimental psychology.  During this time, Dodge kept a diary of his experience.
