Description
-
An application from Frank Martin Snowden, Jr., requesting a grant beginning June 1938. The plan of work was to study classical languages, literature, and archeology at Athens, Greece - as well as visit Rome - over the summer, and to obtain a Ph.D. degree at the American Academy, Rome and Harvard University. Mr. Snowden reapplied for another grant beginning June 1948 towards continuing his studies on the Negro in the Greek and Roman World and to make a first-hand examination of pertinent archeological materials found in certain European museum and ancient sites. These applications were submitted in 1938 and 1948, and the chosen field is Language and Literature. Included is a memorandum summarizing the grant awarded to Mr. Snowden in 1938, as well as a record of professional career and a handwritten note: Hammond of Harvard says 'He is not one of the most outstanding classical students I have known but he is above the average' Otherwise a [illegible] of high praise from top classicists [illegible].
