It was the result of the Second International Conference on Eugenics ([[New York]], [[1921]]). The founders included [[Madison Grant]], [[Harry H. Laughlin]], [[Irving Fisher]], [[Henry Fairfield Osborn]], and [[Henry Crampton]]. The organization started by promoting racial betterment, eugenic health, and genetic education through public lectures, exhibits at county fairs ea., but under the direction of [[Frederick Osborn]], started to place greater focus on issues of population control, genetics, and, later, medical genetics.
