Division of Animal Biology

George L. Streeter, Chairman

An administrative grouping made effective in 1935, including activities of the following Departments:

Department of Embryology

Organized in 1914; Franklin P. Mall, Director 1914-1917.

George L. Streeter, Director Margaret R. Lewis

Carl G. Hartman Warren H. Lewis

Chester H. Heuser Charles W. Metz

George L. Streeter, Chairman

The activities of the component groups under the Division of Animal Biology are reported in the following pages and it will be seen that in general they include related phases of physiology, anatomy, embryology, and heredity of animals. The question repeatedly arises as to whether it would be desirable to bring these researches all under one roof, so to speak, or at least in one locality. Much might be gained by a closer assembly, but it would also involve some sacrifices. Even were such a concentration feasible, careful consideration should be given to all the factors concerned. The present arrangement has been one of natural evolution. The various projects have sprung up where it was thought they could be best conducted; some in large scientific centers, others in isolated locations where environments of a special character were demanded by the nature of the project.

As far as possible, the disadvantage of the dispersion of the research personnel has been counteracted by frequent conferences and exchange of facilities between the individuals of the different groups. As a consequence, it is more and more being found that a community of interest and cooperative endeavor are of mutual advantage and an added source of strength. Inasmuch as the selection and grouping of the researches have been of an evolutionary or empirical nature it is to be expected that their goals and planning will be subject to change and adjustment from time to time. Projects are dropped as they reach a reasonable completion and attention is turned in other directions. Trial and error are dominant features in the organization of the groups and subgroups just as they are in their researches and as they are in nature. The investigator is on the fringe of the unknown where in his uncertain advances he must be alert to advantageous alterations in course. He must have a plan but his plan must not commit him to a program that cannot be terminated when it becomes barren.

One of the projects that were brought to a conclusion during the past year is the survey of the human resources of Connecticut. This was undertaken as a cooperative study by a commission appointed by the governor of the state of Connecticut and the staff of our Eugenics Record Office. The survey was of importance to the state because of the alarming and increasing expenditures necessary for the care and treatment of its socially inadequate classes. It was of interest to the staff of the Eugenics Record Office because such a survey fell directly in the field of eugenic and population studies with which they were especially equipped to deal. Now after two years of concentrated effort the factual data, covering the biological and eugenical aspects of the problem, have been collected, classified, and analyzed and placed at the disposal of the Commission. It is realized that the biological point of view, though a very important one, is but one aspect of this population problem and it happens to be the one to which our facilities are limited.
