(1)NOTE: This facility (Item 8) is not the same as the early Duke University parapsychology laboratory which was
part of the Psychology Dept. This was Dr. J. B. Rhine's laboratory, which investigated parapsychological
phenonmena from 1929 until it was closed at his retirement in 1965. Dr. Rhine then became director of FRNM
(see Item 4) until his death in 1980.
