Minnesota School for Feeble-Minded and C

Dr. Arthur C. Rogers (1856-1917) was a physician who served as superintendent of the Minnesota School for the Feeble-Minded and Colony for Epileptics in Faribault, Minnesota, where he advocated for eugenics measures including field workers to compile family histories of residents.[1][7] He authored 'Dwellers in the Vale of Siddem,' a true story exploring the social aspects of feeble-mindedness, reflecting his views on institutional care and societal issues.[6] Rogers requested funding for psychological expertise and contributed to early 20th-century discussions on intellectual disabilities.[7]
