Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1893.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: Theoretically, or in its primary sense, the term caste was applied to certain fixed divisions of society. By fixed divisions, I mean such divisions of society that if a man of ours comes within a certain class, neither he nor his posterity is able to pass into another. In short, the son must follow in the footsteps of his father. If the father is a priest, the son will be a priest, if a merchant, he will be a merchant, if the father is a servant, so will be the son.The organization that has made the Item available believes that the Item is in the Public Domain under the laws of the United States, but a determination was not made as to its copyright status under the copyright laws of other countries.
