PREFACE.
The theme for the Prize Essay runs as follows:—

“The causes of the present obscurity and confusion in psychological and philosophical terminology, and the directions in which we may hope for efficient practical remedy”.

In explanation of the theme was added:—

“The donor of the prize desires that general regard be had to the classification of the various modes in which a word or other sign may be said to possess ‘meaning,’ and to corresponding differences of method in the conveyance or interpretation of ‘meaning’. The committee of award will consider the practical utility of the work submitted to them as of primary importance.”
