Title A name given to the resource Concerning the study of eugenics in Massachusetts Subject The topic of the resource Southard, Elmer Ernest, 1876-1920 Eugenics Typescript Description An account of the resource Harvard&rsquo;s Bullard Professor of Neuropathology, E. E. Southard, presented this report on the desirability of eugenic research in Massachusetts, to the Board of Directors of the Eugenics Record Office, probably at its first meeting on December 12, 1910. He summarized, <em>&ldquo;It is probable that Massachusetts is hardly surpassable in this country as a field for the study of eugenics, including under that name not only 1) eugenics proper, that is, the study of hereditary conditions tending to maintain society at par (the prevention of deterioration) but also 2) cacogenics, the study of hereditary forces tending to pull society down, as well as 3) the possibly Utopian variant, aristogenics, with its hope of elucidating the method by which the best stock is assembled and improved.&rdquo; </em> Abstract A summary of the resource.
