DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED STATISTICS 

 The Biometric Laboratory 



(assisted by a grant from the Worshipful Company of Drapers) 

 Until the phenomena of any branch of knowledge have been submitted to measurement 

 and number it cannot assume the status and-dignity of a science. FRANCIS GALTON. 



Under the direction of Professor KARL PEARSON, F.R.S. Senior Lecturer : E. S. 

 PEARSON, D.Sc. Lecturer: G. M. MORANT, D.Sc. Assistants: E. C. FIELLER, B.A., 

 BRENDA STOESSIGER, M.Sc. and J. ELVIRA IRVINE. Hon. Research Assistant: MAR- 

 GARET V. PEARSON, M.A. Crewdson-Benington Student : ELIZABETH KITSON, B.A. 

 This Laboratory provides a complete training in modern statistical methods and 

 is especially arranged so as to assist research workers engaged on biometric problems. 



The Francis Galton Eugenics Laboratory 



National Eugenics is the study of agencies under social control, that may improve 

 or impair the racial qualities of future generations, either physically or mentally. 



The Laboratory was founded by Sir FRANCIS GALTON and is under the supervision 

 of Professor KARL PEARSON, F.R.S. Assistant Professor : ETHEL M. ELDERTON. 

 Reader in Medical Statistics : PERCY STOCKS, M.A., M.D. Hon. Galton Research 

 Fellow: JULIA BELL, M.A., M.R.C.S., M.R.C.P. Assistant: M. NOEL KARN, M.A. 

 Secretary: MARGARET BEER. 



It was the intention of the Founder, that the Laboratory should serve (i) as a 

 storehouse of statistical material bearing on the mental and physical conditions in 

 man, and the relation of these conditions to inheritance and environment ; (ii) as 

 a centre for the publication or other form of distribution of information concerning 

 National Eugenics ; (iii) as a school for training and assisting research-workers in 

 special problems in Eugenics.
