Studies in Sex Hygiene and Morals
EDITED BY WILLIAM TRUFANT FOSTER PRESIDENT OF REED COLLEGE PRESIDENT PACIFICCOAST FEDERATION FOR SEX HYGIENEWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CHARLES W. ELIOT PRESIDENT EMERITUS OF HARVARDUNIVERSITY[Illustration: Publishers Stamp]BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY The Riverside Press CambridgeCOPYRIGHT, 1914, BY WILLIAM TRUFANT FOSTER ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDThe Riverside Press CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS U.S.A.PREFACEThis volume is the outgrowth of an extension course conducted by Reed College in Portland, Oregon, in 1913.The course was offered to teachers and to workers in various other fields of social service as an outline of themain problems of social hygiene and morals and as a guide to further study. An edition of forty-five hundredcopies of the syllabus of the course was soon exhausted, and there appeared to be a sufficient demand for thepublication of some of the lectures.The chapters are the various lectures, condensed by the editor, but otherwise substantially as given, with theexception of chapters I, II, and XII, which are here presented for the first time. In the original course, ReedCollege fortunately had the services of Calvin S. White, M.D., and L.R. Alderman, officers of the OregonSocial Hygiene Society. Their addresses have been omitted, because they were prepared rather to meet localconditions and the needs of the course than for the general public. For the same reason the greater part of theaddresses of William House, M.D., and of the editor have been omitted.

The Social Emergency
does not purport to be a comprehensive or systematic treatment of the problems of sexhygiene and morals; it presents merely the views of a number of persons on certain phases of the subject.Although no writer is responsible for the ideas of any other writer, yet nearly all the writers have read andapproved all the chapters. Furthermore, the editor has had the aid of other competent critics. The proof hasbeen read by Maurice Bigelow, Ph.D., Professor of Biology, Teachers College, Columbia University; byCalvin S. White, M.D., Secretary of the State Board of Health of Oregon and President of the Oregon SocialHygiene Society; and by William Snow, M.D., Secretary of the American Social Hygiene Association.Others, including Edward L. Keyes, Jr., M.D., and Harry Beal Torrey, Ph.D., have read the particular chaptersconcerning which they could give expert opinion. The editor is grateful to all these men, and to FlorenceRead, Secretary of Reed Extension Courses, who has given valuable aid. With their help he has endeavored toavoid the errors, the exaggerations, the narrowness of view, and the hysteria that characterize some of thecurrent discussions concerning sex and the social evil.If there is one dominant truth in this volume, it is that any plan for meeting the social emergency that wouldrelax the control of moral and spiritual law over sex impulses is antagonistic, not only to physical health, butas well to the highest development of personality and to the progressive evolution of human society.W.T.F.REED COLLEGE, PORTLAND, OREGON, April, 1914.CONTENTSINTRODUCTION.
