    Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 54, No. 1, 1998,pp. 179-210 Science in the Service of the Far Right: Henry E. Garrett, the IAAEE, and the Liberty Lobby Andrew S. Winston* Universily of Guelph Henry E. Garrett (1894-1973) was the President of the American Psychological Association in 1946 and Chair of Psychology at Columbia Universityfrom 1941 to 1955. In the 1950s Garrett helped organize an international group of scholars dedi- cated to preventing race mixing, preserving segregation, and promoting the princi- ples of early 20th century eugenics and “race hygiene.” Garrett became a leader in the fight against integration and collaborated with those who sought to revitalize the ideology of National Socialism. I discuss the intertwined history the Interna- tional Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics (IAAEE),the journal Mankind Quarterly, the neofascist Northern League, and the ultra-right- wing political group, the Liberty Lobby. The use of psychological research and expertise in the promotion of neofascism is examined. No more than Nature desires the mating of weaker with stronger individu- als, even less does she desire the blending of a higher with a lower race, since, if she did, her whole work of higher breeding, over perhaps hun- dreds of thousands of years, might be ruined with one blow. Historical ex- perience offers countless proofs of this. It shows with terrifying clarity that in every mingling ofAryan blood with that of lowerpeoples the result was the end of the culturedpeople. , , , The result of all racial crossing is there- fore in brief always thefollowing: Lowering of the level of the higher race; *Portions of this paper were presented at the annual meeting of CHEIRON, the International Soci- ety for the History of Behavioral and Social Sciences, at the University of Richmond in June 1997.

    Downloaded from symposium.cshlp.org on November 11, 2009 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Selection, Gene Interaction, and Flexible Gene Networks R.J. GREENSPAN The Neurosciences Institute, San Diego, California 92121 and The Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093-0526 Correspondence: [email protected] Recent results from a variety of different kinds of experiments, mainly using behavior as an assay, and ranging from labora- tory selection experiments to gene interaction studies, show that a much wider range of genes can affect phenotype than those identified as “core genes” in classical mutant screens. Moreover, very pleiotropic genes can produce specific phenotypes when mild variants are combined. These studies also show that gene networks readily change configuration and the relation- ships between interacting genes in response to the introduction of additional genetic variants, suggesting that the networks range widely and have a high degree of flexibility and malleability. Such flexibility, in turn, offers a plausible mechanism for the molding of phenotypes through microevolution, as a prerequisite to making a suitable environment for the acceptance of newly arising large-effect mutations in the transition from microevolution to macroevolution. The concept of single-gene mutant analysis to study the can (and do) affect phenotype than those normally consid- mechanisms of behavior is now so deeply embedded as an ered to be core genes. Such findings have some interesting analytical approach that its history of being challenged implications for the molding of phenotypes through seems unimaginable. This is the legacy of Seymour Ben - microevolution, as well as for ways of thinking about the zer’s foray into the behavior of the fruit fly 40 years ago.

There were four different items voted on, and I have listed these below. Members of the Committee were overwhelmingly in favor of all four changes with the exception of item four, where many felt that members of the Executive Committee and the current fellows should elect new fellows. Item three was ambiguously worded, but was apparently interpreted as meaning that "Each Fellow and each member of the Executive Committee should nominate one Fello~ 1. The number of fellows should not exceed 5% of the active membership. (This does not demand a Constitutional amendment. ) 2. Election of fellows should be conducted every two years, not each year. 3.

  • Chronology, 1979.Pdf (2.304Mb)
    MONDAYIIl ,January 1, 1979 A supervisor for the state auditor's office made the claim that The University of Texas at Dallas should repay the state $1.2 million that he said was illegally diverted ;gum £ill for purposes not intended by the legislature. R. D. Luckey, Jr., said that UT-Dallas, in 1977, had illegally transferred to other accounts $1.1 million earmarked for faculty salaries and another $75,000 appropriated for lIIBMiB utilities. The original claim was in a Luckey letter dated Nov­ ember 29, 1978. Luckey believed that the faculty salaries trans­ fer had been made to prevent the money from reverting to the state at the end of the fiscal year. There had been a misunderstanding about the portion of appropriations that come from local university funds. The state, local and general revenue funds are nct"broken out" in appropriations, "and that's what caused the problem," said Vice President Stewart C. Fallis, Business Affairs.
