An application from Mabel Murphy Smythe, requesting a grant towards studying the effects of the Wages and Hours Act and other protective labor legislation on Negro workers - particularly those in tipping occupations - and to obtain a Ph.D. degree at the University of Wisconsin under Dr. E.E. Witte. Mrs. Smythe reapplied for another grant beginning August 1948 towards studying the racial discrimination and segregation in the Caribbean with special emphasis on the British West Indies and concentrating on the socio-anthropological aspects of discrimination. These applications were submitted in 1941 and 1948, and the chosen fields are Economics and Sociology. Included is a memorandum summarizing the grant awarded to Mrs. Smythe in 1941, as well as a record of professional career and handwritten notes: Very young. Good record.

May be a better candidate [illegible], [illegible] Request not for a fellowship [family has had four] but for maintenance, and He had good grad sc record [illegible].
