194 JOURNAL AND PROCEEDINGS. 



REPORT OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL SECTION. 



Read before the Hamilton Association, May, i8g2. 



At a meeting held on the 23rd November, 1 891, it was resolved 

 to organize a Philosophical Section of the Association, and a chair- 

 man and secretary were elected. The remainder of the evening was 

 taken up with a general discussion on the sources and the methods 

 of psychological research. 



Since then four meetings of the Section have been held, and 

 the following subjects discussed : 

 December 5th. — "Psychology," an inquiry into the dual character 



of the conscious self as subject and as object, by Sanford Evans. 

 January 1 6th. — "An Analysis of Experience, Part I," by S. A. 



Morgan, B. A. 

 February 20th.— "An Analysis of Experience, Part II," by S, A. 



Morgan, B. A. 

 March 19th. — "Sense-Perception," Idealism versus Materialism, by 



S. B. Sinclair, M. A. 



The determination to form a Section in this branch of science 

 was not carried into effect without some misgiving as to the probable 

 result. We feel, however, that the outcome of the experiment thus 

 far warrants us in predicting a useful future awaiting this Section of 

 your Association. 



,S. A. MORGAN, S. B. SINCLAIR, 



Secretary, Chairman.
