In the same year as his graduation and appointment as an Assistant in Experimental Psychology, war broke out and all of his seniors in Cambridge left for war service. Bartlett was ineligible for service due to a heart condition (he tried to enlist three times), so he was appointed Temporary Director of the department. He went almost immediately from undergraduate student status to head of Psychology at Cambridge.
Two years ago he left Cambridge to work for the Tavistock Clinic in London.
