Excerpt from Problems in Eugenics, Vol. 2: Report of Proceedings of the First International Eugenics Congress, Held at the University of London, July 24th to 30th, 1912; Together With an Appendix Containing Those Papers Communicated to the Congress Not Included in Volume I

Before the meeting of this Congress it was decided that all the papers to be read should, if possible, be printed in time to be placed in the hands of the members during its sessions for those not well acquainted with the language in which the paper was read would thus be enabled to follow the proceedings with greater ease. This was in fact in great measure accomplished in the volume entitled Problems in Eugenics, though not without the most strenuous efforts on the part of all concerned; and we believe the facilities thus afforded were appreciated. It was, however, impossible for various reasons for some of the authors to send in their papers in time to be included in this publication, and of course the discussions at the Congress, which had not then taken place, could not be printed. The omitted papers and the discussions have, therefore, been included in this supple mentary volume, so as to complete the records of the Congress.

One of the most beneficial results of the Congress was undoubtedly the establishment of the International Eugenics Committee on a permanent basis. The next meeting will be held in Paris, in August, 1913, when various questions connected with the future assembly of Eugenic Congresses will be considered.
