Description
-
An application from Hugh H. Smythe, requesting a grant beginning September 1939. The plan of work was to study the population of Haiti with special reference to the processes of racial and cultural conflict, accommodation, and assimilation, and to obtain a Ph.D. degree at Northwestern University of Wisconsin. Mr. Smythe reapplied for another grant to begin as soon as possible towards studying cultural anthropology with supplementary work in physical anthropology and linguistics. These applications were submitted in 1939 and 1940, and the chosen fields are Sociology and Anthropology. Included is a memorandum summarizing the grants awarded to Mr. Smythe across 1939, 1940, and 1941, as well as handwritten notes: Brilliant man. Excellent record at Virginia State, Atlanta Univ and Fisk [illegible] and [illegible] Excellent testimony from Herskovits under whom he is working [illegible].
