Eugenics Society Members List - K.

Source of members names: From 1930 until 1990 members' names were published in the Society journal as they joined or became fellows. These sources are shown as a journal abbreviation followed by the year in which the person entered the Society, e.g., ER 1942. (ER = Eugenics Review; Bulletin of the Eugenics Society; B&S = Biology and Society). The Eugenics Review at times listed all the officers and members of the council. These sources are also shown as a journal abbreviation followed by a date. The Society is a corporation and its directors are listed in its annual reports deposited in Company House (CH). In 1937 the Society published a list of members in its Annual Report (ESAR 1937). In 1957 the Society published a list of members in the Eugenics Review (ER 1957). A list of members compiled in 1977 was deposited in the Welcome Archives (1977 list). Deaths of members were sometimes noted in obituaries in the Society journals (Obit + journal abbreviation and date). Other sources are as specified.

Background and Significance:
Nazi Mentor: "Dr. Franz J. Kallmann, who was formerly associated with Dr. Ernst Rudin, investigating in genetic psychiatry, is now attached to the Psychiatric Institute and Hospital, New York, where he is doing research work in the same field.", from Eugenical News 1938, p. 34

"In planning research at the family and population levels, neither human genetics in general nor mental health genetics in particular can afford to be an ivory tower science ... Through concerted action they form a science of genetics applied to people, to benefit people, and to be understood by people for their own good and that of their progeny.", from Expanding Goals in Psychiatry., p. 252

Quotes:
Keynesian Economics and Eugenics:
"I do not depart from the old Malthusian conclusion ... I possessed all (Francis Galton's) books whilst I was still an undergraduate"... (the Malthusian theory was) ... "that more capital resources per head (chiefly in the shape of land) must be of immense benefit to the standard of life and that the growth of population was disastrous to human standards by retarding this increase." (from the Galton Lecture by J.M. Keynes, "Some Economic Consequences of a Declining Population" 1937, reprinted in Eugenics Review. Vol. 60). This lecture expands some ideas found in The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.; lecture reviewed in Biology and Society 1984 by William Milo Keynes q.v.
Eugenics and Sociology:
"The founder of the most important, significant and I would add, genuine branch of sociology which exists, namely eugenics ... (is Galton's) ... worthy and distinguished disciple, Carr Saunders ... Problems of Population [by Carr Saunders q.v.] ... essentially approached through the biological background of man ... and not principally through the economic approach.", from Keynes' speech, Feb. 1946 on presentation of Galton Medal to Carr Saunders q.v. (ER 1967, p. 5, Obit for A. Carr Saunders q.v.). It's worth noting that Carr Saunders had no training in sociology when he was made Professor in Liverpool, see Carr Saunders entry q.v.
Capital Formation:
"When the capital development of a country becomes the by product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill done."
Background:
Economic History:
"The line of great economists which started with Adam Smith and extends through Ricardo, Mill and Marshall to (Keynes)..." from Keynes. by Roy Jenkins. Marshall was Mill's disciple, Keynes was Marshall's ex-disciple.
Population:
"a considered national policy about size of ... population ... carry it into operation. The time may arrive ... (when the government can) ... pay attention to innate qualities as well as mere numbers" (ER 1951, p. 100, review by P. Bloomfield of Keynes' 1926 book, The End of Laissez Faire.)
