Abstract
SIR OLIVER LODGE, in the course of his address before the Society for Psychical Research on Friday last, said that a few friends who desired to remain anonymous had started an endowment fund, amounting at present to 2000l., in order to set the Society upon a sound and permanent basis, and in order to provide the material means of attacking the problems which the future might bring before them. As soon as a capital sum of 8000l. had been attained, it was proposed to offer a research scholarship in psychical science, to which a holder, irrespective of sex or nationality, might be appointed for one year and from year to year as might seem good, his or her time to be devoted to the work of psychical investigation. When practical benefits could be definitely foreseen, people felt justified in spending money even on science, though as a rule that and education were things on which they were specially economical.
