...individualists, hard to team up, harder still to hold to a program of research. Moreover, the Institute had no clear program. Some individual divisions, notably Dr. Gesell's, turned up much valuable data, but the Institute as a whole wandered all over creation. Yale's famed Anthropologist Albert Galloway Keller sneered at the whole affair...
...independence. All society, exemplified by aunts, veterans, parents and brothers, seems to be forcing her into a complicated ritual which has nothing to do with her relations with the doctor. As a result all the trappings-the flags, costumes, bridesmaids-seem as quaint and unreal as an anthropologist's description of some South Sea Islanders' marriage rite.

"Old American" criminals (native-born whites of native parentage) tend to be smaller and lighter, to have shorter and broader faces, narrower jaws, more sloping shoulders, longer and thinner necks. To the trained anthropologist the dimensions and contours of their heads and faces are sometimes suggestive of retarded development, sometimes of the retention of primitive features, and often of conservatism which may be described as evolutionary rigidity or a failure to conform to modern trends of physical change." Whether the less handsomely endowed criminal...
