Life

Travis was born June 23, 1896 on a farm in Chase County, Nebraska.[1]

He attended University of Iowa and obtained his BA, MA, and PhD in psychology.[3] He taught at University of Iowa, University of Southern California, and Fuller Seninary.[4] He was appointed as the head of the department of psychology in July 1937 but resigned without reason a few months later in January 1938.[5]

Travis was one of the original 25 charter members for what is now known as the American Speech–Language–Hearing Association.[6]

He had many prolific writings and editing, most notably his editorial work for Handbook of Speech Pathology in 1957, which is still referenced. He is most known for his work in the field of stuttering.[7]

He died October 10, 1987 aged 91 years old at his home in Encino, Los Angeles.[1]
