== Life == Conwy Lloyd Morgan was born in London and studied at the [[Royal School of Mines]] and subsequently under [[T. H. Huxley]]. He taught in [[Cape Town]], but in 1884 joined the staff of the then [[University of Bristol|University College, Bristol]] as Professor of Geology and [[Zoology]], and carried out some research of local interest in those fields. However, he quickly became interested in the field he called "mental evolution", the borderland between [[intelligence (trait)|intelligence]] and [[instinct]], and in 1901 moved to become the college's first Professor of Psychology and Education. He was elected a [[Fellow of the Royal Society]] in 1899, and gave the [[Croonian Lecture]] in 1901, titled ''Studies in visual sensation''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fellow details: Morgan; Conwy Lloyd (1852-1936)|publisher=Royal Society Collections|url=https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=%28%28text%29%3D%27morgan,%20conwy%20lloyd%27%29|access-date=14 March 2018}}</ref> In addition to his scientific work, Lloyd Morgan was active in academic administration.
