The Minutes of the Council Meeting of the Society for 13 February 1940 record the choice of essay title for the 1940 competition. In the Minutes for the meeting of 14 November 1940 it was recorded that the examiners had chosen Mr Geoffrey Scott Mowat as the best Essay and that of Miss R.W. Wilkinson as the second best. It was felt that neither reached the usual standard and therefore a prize of £10 would be offered to Mr Mowat and of £5 to Miss Wilkinson and that there should be no formal presentation.
