EUGENICS SURVEY OF VERMONT UNDER AUSPICES OF UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY DIRECTOR. H. P. PERKINS IN CHARGE OF FIELD RESEARCH HARRIETT E. ABBOTT WILLIAMS SCIENCE MALL Burlington, Vermont
September 4, 1925.
Dr. T. J. Allen, State School for the Feeble Minded, Brandon, Vermont.
My dear Doctor:

A Eugenics Survey of Vermont is to be conducted under the auspices of the Department of Zoology of this University, with Miss Harriett Abbott as Field Investigator. The purpose is to ascertain certain important facts relative to delinquency, feeble mindedness, et cetera, and the cost to the state of maintaining persons belonging to such classes. It may lead to an attempt at some helpful legislation, but the primary purpose will be to get a more definite picture of conditions in Vermont. An Advisory Committee is being formed. Will you be go good as to serve as one of its members? A meeting will be held in the Marsh Library at the University, at two P.M., September twenty‐sixth, and I should be very happy to receive your acceptance of the position and your agreement to try to be present on that date. Your expenses will be paid out of our Survey funds.

Very sincerely yours, H.P. Perkins Dictated but not readby Doctor Perkins.
