		THE BERTRAND RUSSELL SOCIETY PRIZES FOR PAPERS

	The Bertrand Russell Society is offering Prizes for Papers, starting in
1993.  We will award two Prizes annually for the best papers, one prize for
undergraduates, and one Prize for "young professionals" (graduate students,
junior professors, non-academics).

	The Prize-winners will present their papers at the Society's next
Annual Meeting, in San Diego, June 18-20, 1993.   All expenses will be paid,
including travel, lodging, and meals, plus a $100 stipend.  Winners outside
North America will receive a portion of their airfare.  Each Prize also
includes a first-year membership in The Bertrand Russell Society.  This
includes a subscription to the quarterly Russell Society News and to the
semi-annual academic journal, _Russell_, published by the Russell Archives
at McMaster University.

Papers can be on any aspect of Russell's life, work, or influence.
They must be suitable for presentation to a general audience.  They may be
broad or narrow in scope, and in any of the many fields
that interested Russell:  logic, ethics, history, politics, religion,
education, peace, nuclear war, mathematics, history of ideas, etc., etc.;
or on Russell's relations with his contemporaries.
  	
	Papers should be suitable for a 45-minute presentation, that is, about
20 double-spaced pages of text.  Submit a complete, or nearly complete, paper,
not an abstract.   State that you would, if chosen, attend the June Annual
Meeting.  Those who have previously appeared on the Annual Meeting program are
not eligible for these Prizes.

	Submit your paper by MARCH 1, 1993 to Prof. John Lenz, Dept. of Modern
and Classical Languages, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX  77843.
Phone:  (409) 845-4742; e-mail:  jrlenz@tamu.edu.

	 These Prizes replace the Grants we have been giving in recent years.

	The Annual Meeting is an informal weekend gathering of BRS members of
diverse interests and backgrounds.  Sir Karl Popper received the 1992 Russell
Society Award, given to the individual whose work best exemplifies Russell's
ideals; the annual Book Award went to Nicholas Griffin for his _Russell's
Idealist Apprenticeship_.
