 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.
