Thank goodness that Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was not a member of the
Harvard faculty.

I am told by my graduate advisor (F.K. McSweeney) that it is something
of a Harvard tradition to publish that way. Herrnstein sometimes went
as R.J. Herrnstein. Stevens went by S.S. Stevens, etc. They are
respectively called "Fran" Dick" and "Smitty" by friends - but they
published using initials. Of course, Skinner's friends called him
"Fred" so he does not break the pattern.
Of course there is JER Staddon and MEP Seligman if we want to go to 3
initials.
