He is noted for his work administering intelligence tests to South African children. On the basis of this research, he concluded that native South African children were intellectually inferior to their European counterparts, in support of the South African government's policy at the time of not investing in native children's education. Fick graduated from the University of the Cape of Good Hope with a B. A. degree in 1917 and received his Ed. M. degree from Harvard University in 1922.

Fick was also a Captain in the South African Medical Corps, and he died in 1945 while serving on active duty."@en . . . "1099362758"^^ . "M. Laurence Fick"@en . "6071"^^ . . .
