[Women's Education] Elliott, Vida Coe. The Social Role and Function Family as Analyzed in the Teachings of Confucius and Confucianism. Minneapolis: The University of Minnesota, 1926. 97 pages of typed text. Wrapped in solid black cloth hardcovers. The title page notes that this is "A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Minnesota by Vida Coe Elliott In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts". Penciled ownership inscription by "Vida Elliott" on the front end paper. In her thesis, Elliott analyzes the function of family in relation to the teachings of Confucius. She postulates that "One function of the family is the perpetuation of the race, but if the race is carried on in an unwholesome way, it will not be long before that race will cease to exist and another race will take its place". As a result, she asserts that "The Chinese people foresaw this problem, even before the time of Confucius, they enacted eugenic laws in order that their race might prosper". To support her hypothesis, she interweaves examples of Confucian teachings in comparison to family structures in America. Fading and chipping to the front and back cover and wear to the spine. Signs of wear to the manuscript's edges, not affecting text. A compelling thesis intersecting Confucianism and eugenics, overall in very good condition.
