Even after he left the University, he continued to work as a independent investigator, teacher and lecturer, ran a private psychological laboratory and was involved with the Minnesota Academy of Science. Another interest of Mr. Gale, and his family, was music. He authored many musical criticisms during the 1900s. Mr. Gale passed away on December 22, 1945 in Minneapolis.
