American Breeders' Association — Eugenics Section 



David Starr Jordan, Chairman. C. B. Davenport, Secretary 



The Eugenics Record Office 



Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, N. Y. 



ESTABLISHED in October, 1910, this office aims to fill the 

 need of a clearing house for data concerning " blood lines " 

 and family traits in America. It is accumulating and 

 studying records of mental and physical characteristics of human 

 families to the end that people may be better advised as to fit 

 and unfit matings. It issues blank schedules (sent on applica- 

 tion) for the use of those who wish to preserve a record of their 

 family histories. 



The Eugenics Section and its Record Office are a development 

 from the former committee on Eugenics, comprising well-known 

 students of heredity and humanists ; among others Alexander 

 Graham Bell, Washington, D. C. ; Luther Burbank, Santa Rosa, 

 Cal. ; W. E. Castle, Harvard University ; C. R. Henderson, 

 University of Chicago ; Adolf Meyer, Johns Hopkins University; 

 J. Arthur Thomson, University of Aberdeen; H. J. Webber, 

 Cornell University; Frederick A. Woods, Harvard Medical 

 School. The work of the Record Office is aided by the advice 

 of a number of technical committees. Its superintendent is H. 

 H. Laughlin, Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y., to whom correspon- 

 dence should be addressed.
