    She took office as New York City's Commissioner of Corrections on January 1, 1914. Several Bain/LOC photos taken soon after that date show her as active in the performance of her duties:

    More Bain/LOC photos of Corrections Commissioner Katharine Davis in action: She took office on January 1, 1914, and these photos were taken soon afterward.

  • Wystan said:
    LOC: Some sources on the internet spell her first name "Katherine," while others, including the peerless Wikipedia, go with "Katharine." You are the authority with responsibility to sort the matter out. An anxious nation waits upon your decision. Loyal citizens trust that you will not fail us in our hour of need.

    There's a lecture series named for her, at the American Genetic Association's annual symposium: www.theaga.org/2010/key_lecture.php She also published a report in 1915 titled "Feeble-Minded Citizens in Pennsylvania," based on eugenic pedigrees of a population in rural Pennsylvania. books.google.com/books?id=x0biAAAAMAAJ

    Key was very active in the American Eugenics Society as well. Eugenics....what a different time. We have an interesting click! photography changes everything piece by Carol Squiers that examines and critiques the role of photography in eugenics that I think is worth a read: click.si.edu/Story.aspx?story=762 Thanks for sharing the information, Penny.
