Letter from the Commissioner of Immigration to the Commissioner General of Immigration Regarding Race Classifications for Immigration
Record Group 85: Records of the Immigration and Naturalization ServiceSeries: Subject and Policy FilesFile Unit: Wright and Crater's Investigation of Immigrant Arrival Procedures on Ellis Island
OFFICE OF U. S. COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION,
New York, N. Y.
June 26, 1898.
Hon. T. V. Powderly,
Commissioner-General of Immigration
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
Under date of June 18th, you appointed the undersigned a Committee to devise a plan in connection with our immigration statistics which will designate not only the empire, kingdom, or republic, from which immigrants come, but the province or other territorial division of the same; also showing where the alien was born, the language he speaks, the religion he professes, his occupation, condition in life, and every other question that will give information concerning immigration.
On Thursday, the 23rd Inst., the Committee met as instructed, and organized with Assistant Commissioner Edward F. McSweeney as Chairman, and Dr. M. V. Safford, as Secretary.
In making our classification in accordance with instructions given us, we have availed ourselves of all the sources of information at our command, and wish to gratefully acknowledge the great assistance given us by some of the officials of the service whose former residence among the various foreign races we were trying to classify, and consequent knowledge of the social, industrial and religious conditions which prevailed in the countries from which such races respectively come, were of the greatest value to the Committee.
In submitting the new scheme for immigration statistics it should be stated, that your Committee has proceeded on the assumption that the object of such statistics is to show the kind of people that come to this country arranged according to some order or classification which will furnish an approximately accurate means for estimating, from the known race characteristics of each order or class, its industrial and social value to this country.
Although, for this purpose, the present system of grouping immigrants according to political boundaries, appears inadequate, still it has not been deemed wise to abandon it altogether, but rather to make it subservient to a classification according to races which, though perhaps not recognized strictly as such, yet may be wisely so regarded in order to accomplish the objects contemplated by the instructions to your Committee.
In some instances, such as that of Hebrews, religion has been resorted to as a means of distinguishing race, but, in general the mother-tongue spoken is the criterion by which such classification has been made, since it constitutes the chief bond of social and domestic union which holds peoples together in all [complete document and transcript at link]

SUBLIME CINEMA #658 - THE BRUTALIST
I wasn't as gaga over this movie as many were, I found it overly long, under-edited, and Laszlo (Adrien Brody's) character unlikeable. However - the images were breathtaking, and many sequences were deeply moving and left me hypnotized well after they passed by.
It was absolutely worth seeing in IMAX, and Vista Vision is a rare treat in 2025. Every penny of it is seen up close in a texture that is all too lacking in the cinema these days.
Brady Corbet delivered something that cannot be confused for what passes for a film these days on most streaming services. This is a film - told in grand, operatic images and steeped in a deep nostalgia for world that might never have existed.
