[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.
