Abstract
TRINITY COLLEGE, Cambridge, has established a studentship for the study of psychical research, out of a bequest left to the College for that purpose by Mr. F. D. Perrott as a memorial to F. W. H. Myers. Psychical research is defined, for this purpose, as "the investigation of mental or physical phenomena which seem prima facie to suggest (a) the existence of supernormal powers of cognition or action in human beings in their present life, or (b) the persistence of the human mind after bodily death". The studentship is open to any person who shall have completed his or her twenty-first year at the time when the election takes place. The studentship is tenable for one year, but a student may be re-elected once, but not more than once. The studentship will be of such value, not exceeding £300, as the electors may award after considering the nature of the research which the candidate proposes to undertake. Further information can be obtained from Prof. C. D. Broad, Trinity College, Cambridge.
