...unearthed an extraordinary mass of evidence bearing on ghosts, telepathy and other manifestations of the occult. Various theories have been elaborated which attempt to explain what are regarded as incontestable facts, but so far with no very satisfactory result. The membership roll of the Society has included many of England's foremost men, Henry Sedgwick, A. J.

J. C. Phillips '99, in the Graduates' Magazine, gives the data which prove these facts. His research covers...
