[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].
