The Character Research Association donated the Theodore F. Lentz papers to the Western 

Historical Manuscript Collection on November 19, 1980. 

Ted Lentz was born in Platte County in northwest Missouri in 1888. He received a BA from 

Park College in Parkville, Missouri in 1914 and a Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia 

University in 1925. In 1917 he had been drafted into the U.S. Army, where he served through 

1919, achieving second lieutenant rank. Lentz attended graduate school at Columbia 

University in New York, where he developed an interest in character. He received a Ph.D. in 

Psychology from Columbia in 1925. During this period, he married DeVere Campbell. They 

had a son, John, in 1925 and a daughter, Particia, born in 1927. In 1925, Columbia 

University published Lentz's first work, Experimental Method for the Discovery and 

Development of Tests of Character. 

Lentz served as a professor of Education at Washington University from 1924 to 1953. In 

1930 he founded the Character Research Institute at the university, and in the mid-1930s 

began circulating questionaires and to measure conservative-to- radical political opinions, 

under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. In 1945 the Character Research 

Institute changed its name to Character Research Association and began sponsoring an 

Attitude Research Laboratory. The lab changed its name to the Peace Research Laboratory in 

1960. Lentz officially retired from full-time teaching at Washington University in 1948. 

During the last five years of his tenure there he devoted most of his time to developing to 

promoting peace research as a scientific discipline. Lentz became known as the father of 

peace research. 

In 1955, Lentz published his seminal book, Towards A Science of Peace. In 1956 and 1957, 

Lentz gave statements concerning peace research before the U.S. House subcommittee on 

Arms and Disarmament. Also in 1957, Lentz divorced DeVere Campbell. The following 

years he married Enola Ledbetter, who died in 1976. His next major work, Towards A 

Technology of Peace, was published in 1972. That same year, Washington University 

established the Lentz International Peace Research Award. Lentz last book, Humatriotism, 

was published in 1976. Ted Lentz died December 14, 1976.

SCOPE AND CONTENT 

The Theodore F. Lentz papers document his professional career as a psychologist and a 

peace researcher. The bulk of the papers are from 1940- 1976. There are very few personal 

papers such as family correspondence, diaries, or photographs. 

The Character Research Institute papers document Lentz's early research and methodology 

which he later used in his peace research. The Conservatism- Radicalism Opinionaire and the 

Youth Expressionaire are the prototypes for his later peace propositionaires and opinionaires. 

The bulk of the character research material is the C-R Opinionaire and the Youth 

Expressionaire files. Only originals of these tests were saved; duplicate tests, both blank and 

answered, were returned to the donor. 

As Lentz switched to peace research after 1945 so did the Character Research Institute, 

which changed its name to the Character Research Association (CRA). The early

administrative records for the CRA are incomplete, although a daily journal kept from 1946- 

1951 fills in most of the gaps. Lentz had a wide correspondence and most is substantive with 

discussion of ideas, problems, and methodology. Lentz's developing interest in peace 

research is well documented through opinionaires, platform statements, notes, and 

correspondence. 

Of his three peace research books, Towards A Science of Peace has the most material, 

including original ideas, drafts, manuscripts, notes, publication correspondence, book 

promotion, book reviews, and foreword and annotations by Julian Huxley. His original idea 

for a book in 1948 can be traced through its first publication in 1955. There are a few book 

reviews and a topic outline for Towards A Technology of Peace. There are no manuscripts, 

notes, or correspondence. Humatriotism was co-authored with twelve other peace researchers. 

Correspondence on their portion of the book and biographical sketches of the co- authors are 

included. 

Lentz's books influenced others and inspired several peace research centers around the world. 

Two of these, the Canadian Peace Research Institute and the Peace Centre in England, were 

founded by two individuals after reading TASOP. The growth of both centers is documented 

in the papers and especially in the correspondence between Lentz and Norman Alcock, 

Kenneth and Elise Boulding, Hannah and Alan Newcombe, Patrick Deighan, and Paul 

Smoker. Articles by these peace researchers were saved because of Lentz's direct influence on 

their ideas. The peace research files, along with Lentz's books, reveal how he developed his 

ideas. He wrote notes on 3 x 5 cards, scrap paper, and typing paper and these were found 

throughout the papers. Many were returned to the donor but a representative group of files 

was retained. With folder titles of "Monday, a.m.", "Thots", or "Cogitation", they show how 

Lentz started with an idea, later wrote about it to a friend, devised a propositionaire, and 

eventually included it in an article, book or speech. His notes give the impression of someone 

constantly thinking who wrote the process down so as not to forget. Some of the notes are 

very personal, in the nature of motivation, perhaps to convince him to continue his work. 

Lentz had contact with a wide variety of people and organizations. His outreach to the 

community included radio talks, education courses, seminars, conferences and speeches. 

Many of these are found in the papers. This outreach promoted his ideas, the CRA and the 

Peace Research Laboratory and education. Lentz was a member, contributor, correspondent 

or on the mailing list of numerous pacifist and world government organizations. Sample 

brochures and correspondence were saved from 144 organizations to reflect the range of 

these groups. A list of organizations is at the beginning of the series. 

Oral histories were done with two close friends of Lentz, Louise Robison, who lived with 

him and Enola, and Joy Guze, a student and lifelong friend. William ckhardt, a colleague and 

director of the Peace Research Laboratory after Lentz, also was interviewed. Questionnaires 

were sent to twelve friends and colleagues around the world for their assessment of Lentz's 

influence and contribution to peace research. The responses are included in the papers.
