[0798] Charles Fremont Dight papers, 1883-1984, File no. P1628 [partly digital collection]
Location: Minnesota Historical Society, 345 W. Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55102-1906
Description: C. F. Dight (1856-1938) was a physician, professor, and Minneapolis alderman. In the early 1920s Dight launched a crusade to bring the eugenics movement to Minnesota. He believed that many of society's evils could be eliminated through selective breeding. His main lines of approach included eugenics education, changes in marriage laws, and the segregation and sterilization of "defectives." He organized the Minnesota Eugenics Council in 1923 and began campaigning for a sterilization law. In 1925 the Minnesota legislature passed a law allowing the sterilization of the "feeble-minded" and insane who were resident in the state's institutions. For the next several legislative sessions Dight fought unsuccessfully for expansion of the law to include sterilization of the unfit outside of institutions. The Minnesota Eugenics Society became moribund by the early 1930s, but Dight continued his legislative efforts as late as 1935 and also continued to speak and write on the subject of eugenics. In 1935 he published History of the Early Stages of the Organized Eugenics Movement for Human Betterment in Minnesota, a 69-page pamphlet. In 1936 he published Call for a New Social Order, a 181-page book comprising three parts: memoirs of his years as a socialist Minneapolis alderman, 1914-1918; published versions of his radio talk on eugenics; and essays on "mental faculties" and other subjects. The papers consist of correspondence (undated and 1892-1936), photographs (1879-1930s), lecture notes (1900-1908), essays, article manuscripts (1906-1910, 1933-1936), newspaper clippings (1900-1927), scrapbooks (1914-1930s), radio scripts (1928, 1933), editorials (ca. 1921-1935), income tax forms (1919-1936), pamphlets, flyers, bills, minutes, and printed matter. Includes correspondence with Adolf Hitler [a letter to Hitler is reproduced at http://libguides.mnhs.org/eugenics/primary]; mimeographed copies of correspondence between Theodore Roosevelt and Ernest Lundeen (Oct.-Nov. 1917) regarding Lundeen's patriotism and his views on the war in Europe; Minnesota Eugenics Society records; and files on Eugenics Record Office and Eugenics Research Association, including Dight's correspondence with Harry H. Laughlin regarding eugenics, sterilization, and eugenics conferences; American Eugenics Society (New Haven, Conn.); National Committee on Federal Legislation for Birth Control, including form letters signed by Margaret Sanger, president; and Human Betterment Foundation (Pasadena, Calif.), including correspondence of Dight with E. S. Gosney (foundation president) and Paul Popenoe (secretary). Includes correspondence with Adolf Hitler [online at http://www2.mnhs.org/library/findaids/P1628/pdfa/P1628-00001.pdf].

[0799] Dight Institute Records, undated, 1930-1989, uarc 1012
Location: University of Minnesota Archives, 218 Elmer L. Andersen Library, University of Minnesota, 222 21st Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55455
Description: In the summer of 1941, the University of Minnesota established The Charles Fremont Dight Institute for the Promotion of Human Genetics, whose benefactor was Charles Fremont Dight (1856-1938). Dight was an advocate of sterilization of the "unfit" (anyone deemed a criminal or mentally handicapped). In 1925, a sterilization law did go into effect in Minnesota, the 17th state to pass such a law; it was to remain on the books until 1975. This sterilization law was intended to delay marriages of the feeble-minded, epileptic, and insane, until they could be sterilized, was "voluntary," and applied only to institutionalized individuals. Dight's furor in support of the eugenics of the 1920s and 1930s included possible support of Hitler's eugenics program, honoring Lindbergh for his "hereditary endowment," and advocating the selective breeding of humans. Underlying this early eugenics, enthusiastically supported by many prominent people, including scientists and ministers, was a reflection of the racism always present within the society. His will left the balance of his estate, approximately $75,000, to the University of Minnesota "to promote biological race betterment, better human brain structure and mental endowment by spreading abroad the knowledge of the laws of heredity and the principles of eugenics." Dr. Clarence P. Oliver was the Institute's first director. He resigned in 1946 to establish a center of human genetics at the University of Texas at Austin. Includes correspondence with C.M. Goethe.

Location: Special Collections, University of Washington Libraries, Box 352900, Seattle, WA 98195-2900
Description: Brice P. Disque (1879-1960) was a public official and businessman who commanded the U.S. Army's Spruce Production Division and founded the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen during the First World War. Disque was charged with accelerating the logging of spruce and other trees for the war effort, a process which had been slowed by a series of strikes and slowdowns led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). The Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, an organization headed by army officers, enrolled all of the roughly 20,000 soldiers working as loggers and about 100,000 civilian loggers during the war. All enrollees had to sign a loyalty oath and agree not to strike. Enrollees could be members of the IWW or American Federation of Labor (AFL), but they had to promise not to organize workers into any union other than the legion. The series Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, contains copies of the legion's monthly bulletins from 1917 to 1919. The series United States War Department, Spruce Production Division, includes the correspondence of Disque, his advisors, and other Spruce Division officials from 1917 to 1921.

[0807] Distributist Party, 1933-1935, COLL MISC 0791
Location: Archive and Special collections, British Library of Political and Economic Science, 10 Portugal Street, London WC2A 2HD, England
Description: Distributionists believe that the means of production should be distributed as widely as possible among the populace. Distributism opposes Communism and Socialism and any form of centralisation. It embraces property of ownership, small economies of scale, belief in God and maintaining families, and sensible technology. Distributism is generally against big systems and in favour of small and private systems. Distributism promotes independence and self-reliance provided they are understood to be subsequent to higher values such as religious faith and promotion of the family. The Distributist League was founded in 1926. Its President was the writer G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936). The Distributist Party was formed at a meeting at the Charing Cross Hotel on 25th May 1933. A resolution was passed at the meeting that the party should pursue "...the encouragement of individual ownership in the means of livelihood; the dispersal of unnecessarily large aggregates of industrial and commercial capital..." Papers of Harry Hutchinson, relating to the Distributist Party.

Location: Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, Robert W. Woodruff Library, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322-2870
Description: Thomas Dixon (1864-1946) was a clergyman, lecturer, and novelist. Dixon published his first of twenty-two novels, The Leopard's Spots, in 1902. That novel and two others, The Clansman (1905) and The Traitor (1907), comprised his bestselling trilogy of books defending the South. Dixon wrote the screenplay for the movie The Birth of a Nation (1915), based on The Clansman. His three anti-socialist novels, beginning with The One Woman (1903), sold widely. The collection contains one folder of correspondence (1901-1905), which includes thirteen detailed letters from Thomas Dixon to publishers. One letter to Walter Hines Page (1855-1918) of Doubleday, Page & Company mentions Dixon's work on plot development for The Clansman (February 7, 1904). The collection has one folder of miscellaneous items (1902-1903) and a typescript (381 pp.) of The One Woman with penciled revisions.
