The Council will also be glad to receive reports of investigation from
individual Members or Associates, or from persons unconnected with the
Society.[2]
Any such report, or any other communication relating to the work of the
Society, should be addressed to Miss Alice Johnson (as Editor of the
_Proceedings_ and _Journal_), 20 Hanover Square, London, W., or to J. G.
Piddington, Esq., 87 Sloane Street, London, S.W.; or in America to Dr
Richard Hodgson, 5 Boylston Place, Boston, Mass.
Meetings of the Society, for the reading and discussion of papers, are
held periodically; and the papers then produced, with other matter, are,
as a general rule, afterwards published in the _Proceedings_.
The Proceedings of the Society may be obtained directly from the
Secretary, 20 Hanover Square, London, W., or from the Secretary of the
American Branch, or from any bookseller, through Mr R. Brimley Johnson,
4 Adam Street, Adelphi, London, W.C.
A Monthly Journal (from October to July inclusive) is also issued to
Members and Associates. The Journal contains evidence freshly received
in different branches of the inquiry, which is thus rendered available
for consideration, and for discussion by correspondence, before
selections from it are put forward in a more public manner.
The Council, in inviting the adhesion of Members, think it desirable to
quote a preliminary Note, which appeared on the first page of the
Constitution of the original Society, and which still holds good.
"Note.--To prevent misconception, it is here expressly stated that
Membership of the Society does not imply the acceptance of any
particular explanation of the phenomena investigated, nor any belief as
to the operation, in the physical world, of forces other than those
recognised by Physical Science."
Conditions of Membership.
The conditions of Membership are thus defined in Articles 11-18:--
The Society shall consist of: (_a_) _Members_, who shall subscribe two
guineas annually, or make a single payment of twenty guineas, (_b_)
_Associates_, who shall subscribe one guinea annually, or make a single
payment of ten guineas.
All Members and Associates of the Society shall be elected by the
Council. Every candidate for admission shall be required to give such
references as shall be approved by the Council, and shall be proposed
in writing by two or more Members or Associates.
All subscriptions shall become payable immediately upon election, and
subsequently on the first day of January in each year. In the case of
any Member or Associate elected on or after the 1st October, his
subscription shall be accepted as for the next following year.
Article 22 provides that if any Member or Associate desire to resign,
he shall give written notice thereof to the Secretary. He shall,
however, be liable for all subscriptions which shall then remain
unpaid.
Ladies are eligible either as Members or Associates.
