2002-2003 Essay Contest

The William James Society is offering a $100 prize and publication
in Streams of William James for the best student essay (4500
words, maximum) on William James. Although this contest is
intended primarily for graduate level work, we encourage
undergraduates and continuing education students to submit
essays as well.

Essays that receive honorable mention will also be published in an
issue of Streams.

One theme that we suggest students consider is the relationship
between Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose 200th birthday is in 2003,
and William James, who delivered an essay on Emerson in
Concord in 1903 on the occasion of Emerson's 100th birthday. We
are, however, open to other topics and streams of thought.

To submit an essay for consideration:
1) Compose an e-mail to Randall Albright. Explain for whom
the essay was originally written, class level, and other pertinent
information.
2) Attach an electronic copy of your article in Rich Text
Format (RTF) or Microsoft Word format.
3) Use the CC option to send a copy back to yourself for
inherent copyright protection and send to Randall Albright
.

Deadline: May 15, 2003.
