"Broad aspects of science, history, literature, music, drama, sociology, philosophy, sculpture, architecture and the fine arts; the study of any special period or of any individual writer or worker, or composer, or artist… will also be considered."Sir Arthur Acland, founding the Acland prize in Humanities, 1925
