Abstract
Abstract I sincerely hope that many of you here1 do not know the meaning of the term ‘Nordic’. Only a little over a year ago I did not know its meaning myself and it would [be] humiliating to me to think that every one of you should know what I was so wholly ignorant of. I read of it first in that fascinating and provocative book of Madison Grant, The Passing of the Great Race, and since then I have read it used in several other books on racial study to define one [of] the three chief races of which the population of Europe is made up. These three are: ( r) Mediterraneans, a small race with long narrow heads, dark hair and dark eyes, (2) Alpines, a stocky race, medium height or short, with broad round heads, dark hair and eyes, and (3) Nordics, tall, narrow long heads, fair hair ranging from flaxen to brown and fair eyes ranging from light blue to hazel, grey and green.
