Application from William Henry Smith

Description
-
An application from William Henry Smith, requesting a grant beginning March 1945. The plan of work was to study and depict Negro types through fine art mediums [in Puerto Rico, the far South, and in the industrial North], and to obtain a A.B. degree in Fine Arts at the Polytechnic Institute of Puerto Rico under the supervision of Dr. Jarvis Morris. This application was submitted in 1945, and the chosen field is Painting and Sculpture. Included is a handwritten note: Recommendations sound performatory. Very young. No general educational background. Unless art jury goes way out, I think he is not a possibility.
