Letter from Superintendent Grout to Governor Mead, December 16, 1911
Letter from Superintendent Grout to Governor Mead, June 5, 1912
Farewell Address of John A. Mead, 1912
Segregation or Sterilization by Mercedes de Guardiola.
Note that the 1912 farewell address and the two letters from Superintendent Grout are the totality of the source documents connecting Mead to Eugenics. That is a total of three documents. No other documents exist. None. Now compare these to the number of college catalogs, pamphlets, newspaper stories, and documents linking Middlebury College to the Eugenics Movement. The latter is far greater. Why is Mead being made the scapegoat for Middlebury College?
