Scope and content
Asks for clarification on the meaning of 'Experimental Psychology', and expresses the wish that his name not appear on the reception committee if the phrase is intended to be associated with telepathy at the 'proceedings of the Congress'. Mentions Gurney and Myers as being active 'in connexion with the inquiries indicated'. States that, on the other hand, the phrase is associated with physio-psychology, he should be very happy to have his name joined with those of 'Bain, [Sills], Croom Robertson' and others named by Sidgwick.
