Abstract: My Current Thoughts on Coefficient Alpha and Successor Procedures" grew out of a meeting Lee and I had at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences in June 2001.After their lunch, Nate Gage had dropped Lee off at the Center (where I was spending a Sabbatical year) so we could catch up on recent events.Lee looked exhausted, listless, and despondent.I knew he was battling a disease that severely limited his eyesight, but I didn't expect to see this.Perhaps his eyesight was taking a greater toll than I had imagined.I also knew that he had just completed a major project that his close friend and colleague, Richard E. Snow, had begun and couldn't complete because of his untimely death in December 1997.As dean of the Stanford University
