Its stated purpose is to promote philosophy and psychology in the southern section of the United States by facilitating the exchange of ideas among those engaged in these fields of inquiry, by encouraging investigation, by fostering the educational function of philosophy and psychology, and by improving the academic status of these subjects. The office of President for the society alternates each year between a philosopher and a psychologist. The first president was James Mark Baldwin. His term of office ran from 1904-1907. The current president is Duane Rumbaugh of Georgia State University. There are two classes of SSPP membership members and associate members. Normally, the applicant for member status will be expected to have the Ph.D. degree and be devoting a major professional effort in a teaching or research capacity. Persons without a Ph.D. degree may be eligible for associate membership with the expectation that they can be advanced to full membership after three years of continu ed and active involvement in the teaching or research of philosophy or psychology.
