Francis Galton Fellow in National Eugenics : David Heron, M.A. Francis Galton Scholar : Miss E. M. Elderton. Computer: Miss Amy Barrington.

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. It is the intention of the Founder, Mr Francis Galton, that the Laboratory shall act (i) as a storehouse for 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. Provision is made in association with the Biometric Laboratory at University College for training in Statistical Method and for assisting research workers in special Eugenic Problems. Short courses of instruction will be provided for those engaged in social, anthropometric, or medical work and desirous of applying modern methods of analysis to the reduction of their observations.
