Alexander was a tremendously careful and thorough thinker. His ability to make an "academic comeback" in his final year of life was impressive. I am honored to have known him. - Posted by: Stephanie Isbell, Ph.D. (Colleague) on: May 02, 2014

Dr. Pressey was one of the most inspiring teachers I had during my graduate training. He had a large and enduring influence on my understanding of psychology, especially through our discussions about the philosophy of science. He was a very intellectually generous and supportive teacher. He truly cared about the development of his students and it was obvious that he enjoyed having impact. It is easy for me to detect his influence on my day to day thinking, even after 25 years. I am saddened by his death, which was too soon. - Posted by: Hal Wallbridge (former student) on: Apr 25, 2014
