Excerpt from Problems in Eugenics: Papers Communicated to the First International Eugenics Congress Held at the University of London, July 24th to 30th, 1912
The main objects hoped to be attained by the Eugenics Education Society in organising the First International Congress of Eugenics were to make more widely known to the public the aims of Eugenists and to afford an opportunity to those engaged in the scientific study of this question, of meeting together and conferring with each other. With this object in view, and in order to induce the leading eugenists throughout the world to take part in our deliberations, a hope was expressed that those interested in these questions in various countries would form themselves into Consultative Committees in connection with the Congress. The response made to this appeal was most gratifying. As soon as these Committees were limited they were requested to nominate a strictly limited number of readers of papers for each Country, the like service being performed at home by the Organising Committee of the Congress. To the writers of these papers, as well as to those who have undertaken to take part in the discussions, must be attributed whatever beneficial results the Congress will produce, and to them we owe a deep debt of gratitude, as well as to the Consultative Committees for securing their services.
A sufficient number of communications having been promised, it was felt that in order to make them of the greatest possible use, the volume containing them should, if possible, be made available for members of the Congress during its sittings. This result has been obtained, but only by means of unremitting and unstinted exertions on the part of all concerned. It is hoped that the unavoidable signs ol haste will not materially impair the utility of this work.
