* Founded in 1937 "to advance the scientific study of heredity and human differences"
* Gave $1.3M to Tanton's groups 1985 - 1994.
* Promoted eugenics and ideas of racial IQ disparity
* Founding papers modeled on Nazi Lebensborn breeding program

In 1995, he was still communicating with eugenicists.
