Biography

Hathaway was born in Central Lake, Michigan[1] and grew up in Marysville, Ohio.[2] He graduated from Ohio University, then completed master's degree in 1928 at Ohio State University and in 1932 took his PhD at the University of Minnesota. Hathaway joined the faculty at Minnesota, where he created the MMPI with his colleague J. C. McKinley.[1] He also created several devices for the measurement of neural processes. Upon creating a psychogalvanometer, he used it as a lie detector test to solve a murder case.[3]
