Of Graduates and of Officers, only meagre and broken records are preserved in the archives of the Scottish Universities. Such works as Anthony a Wood's Athenae and Fasti Oxonienses, Boase's Register of the University of Oxford, Foster's Alumni Oxonienses, Cooper's Athenae Cantabrigienses, Luard's Graduati Cantabrigienses, etc., the Scottish academic annahst need not attempt to rival, either in completeness or in detail. Nor—apart from the adoption of some system analogous to the admirable Quinquennial Catalogue of the older American Colleges—does it seem possible for our Universities to accumulate material adequate to the needs of the future historian. Even such lists of names as are extant have hitherto been made public only to a very limited extent. Appendices added by Professor Andrew Duncan to Professor Thomas Crawfurd's History of the University of EdinbiLrgh (Edinb., 1808-21) give the Register of Graduates in Medicine, 1705-1821. This list is continued to 1845 in Nomina eorwn ijtii Gradum Medicinae Doctoris in Acad. Jac. VI. Scot. Regis, quae Edinb. est, adept sunt (Edinb., 1846) ; and to 1866 in a List of the Graduates in Medicine of the University of Edinburgh (Edinb., 1867). In 1858 Mr. David Laing edited for the Bannatyne Club a Catalogue of Graduates in the Faculties of Arts, Divinity, and Law at the University of Edinburgh since its Foundation. An Alphabetical List of the Graduates of the University of Edinburgh from 1859 to 1888, compiled by Mr. Thomas Gilbert, Registrar of the viii PREFACE. University, carries the record down to the date of issue. In this connection may be noted two contributions to the literature of the Tercentenary Celebrations of the same University in 1884: the Viri Illustres of Professor Patrick Geddes, and the Quasi Cursores of Mr. William Hole. The third volume of the Munimcnta Alme Universitatis Glasguensis, edited in 1854 for the Maitland Club by Mr. Cosmo Innes and Mr. Joseph Robertson, contains lists of Masters of Arts of the University of Glasgow for the periods 1578- 1695 and 1707-27. The present Assistant Registrar, Mr. Innes Addison, has compiled a MS. Catalogue of all Graduates, honorary and ordinary, from 1728 to 1890; and it is under- stood that the propriety of printing this is under consideration. No part of the Records of the University of St. Andrews has as yet been published. As regards the Universities of Aberdeen, the Fasti Aber- donenses, edited in 1854 by Mr. Cosmo Innes, and presented to the original Spalding Club by its President the fourth Earl of Aberdeen, includes a transcript of the list of Masters of Arts of University and King's College for the period 1600-86. It has been thought no unfitting task for the Nev/ Spalding Club to complete the work begun under the auspices of the parent Society, and to herald the approaching Quatercentenary of the older Aberdeen University by the issue of a volume containing a Record, as exhaustive as it is now possible to compile, of the Officers and Graduates of King's College, down to the date when it ceased to exist as a separate corporation, being merged, with Marischal College and University, in the University of Aber- deen. The Fasti Acadeniiae Mariscallanae, of which the first portion appeared in 1889, will in its second volume contain a like Record for Marischal College, 1593- 1860. The archives of the University have, in the freest manner, been placed at the service of the Editor. Appended is an Inven- M PREFACE. ix tory of the Manuscripts (chiefly in the Library or the Muniment Room at King's College) with which he has made himself familiar, and on which he has almost exclusively depended for the details (other than those in footnotes) printed in this volume.

  • Pioneer's Big Lie
    COMMENTARIES PIONEER'S BIG LIE Paul A. Lombardo* In this they proceeded on the sound principle that the magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil, and that, therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more easily fall a victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big. Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf' In the spring of 2002, I published an article entitled "The American Breed" Nazi Eugenics and the Origins of the Pioneer Fund as part of a symposium edition of the Albany Law Review.2 My objective was to present "a detailed analysis of the.., origins of the Pioneer Fund"3 and to show the connections between Nazi eugenics and one branch of the American eugenics movement that I described as purveying "a malevolent brand of biological determinism."4 I collected published evidence on the Pioneer Fund's history and supplemented it with material from several archival collections-focusing particularly on letters and other documents that explained the relationship between Pioneer's first President, 'Paul A. Lombardo, Ph.D., J.D., Director, Program in Law and Medicine, University of Virginia Center for Bioethics.

E.NEW YORK .Lie LIBRARY rs526390 Copyright 1901 by Edgar Woods. • -• THE MicHiE Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va. 1901. PREFACE. An examination of the records of the county for some in- formation, awakened curiosity in regard to its early settle- ment, and gradually led to a more extensive search. The fruits of this labor, it was thought, might be worthy of notice, and productive of pleasure, on a wider scale. There is a strong desire in most men to know who were their forefathers, whence they came, where they lived, and how they were occupied during their earthly sojourn. This desire is natural, apart from the requirements of business, or the promptings of vanity. The same inquisitiveness is felt in regard to places. Who first entered the farms that checker the surrounding landscape, cut down the forests that once covered it, and built the habitations scattered over its bosom? With the young, who are absorbed in the engagements of the present and the hopes of the future, this feeling may not act with much energy ; but as they advance in life, their thoughts turn back with growing persistency to the past, and they begin to start questions which perhaps there is no means of answering.

  • Preface My Years with the Pioneer Fund by Harry F. Weyher President
    Preface My Years with the Pioneer Fund by Harry F. Weyher President, The Pioneer Fund On 22 November 1994 ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings was replete with somber voices speaking of a small penis being a "sign of superior intelligence," "eradicating inferior people," arresting blacks solely because of skin color, race superiority, and mentally ill Jews. This voice-over was spiced with references to Hitler and scenes of emaciated victims in Nazi death camps.1 I watched this broadcast with more than usual interest, because I was president of the foundation which was the subject of the broadcast, the Pioneer Fund. Fearing such tabloid treatment, I had refused repeated invitations from ABC to appear on tape for the program.2 My fears were justified. What I saw was a grotesque distortion, akin to what one used to see in fun house mirrors. ii The Science of Human Diversity A History of the Pioneer Fund The ABC broadcast was one of an endless series of attacks on Pioneer and the scientists whom it has funded, dating back almost 50 years, most often by making baseless charges of "Nazism" or "racism," thus sometimes inciting student unrest or faculty reaction. The following also has happened to Pioneer and these scientists: One scientist had to be accompanied by an armed guard on his own campus, as well as guarded in his home. Another scientist was required by the university to teach his classes by closed circuit television, supposedly in order to prevent a riot breaking out in his class. Several scientists had university and other speaking engagements canceled or interrupted by gangs of students or outside toughs.
