Application Review for Herman Everette Spivey
-
Description
-
A 1942 application file for Herman Everette Spivey, an Associate Professor of English at the University of Florida. He applied for a grant to study Southern literary culture but resigned a 1941 award to enter the Navy. Handwritten notes cite strong support from Vann Woodward and Howard Mumford Jones concluding I don't see how we can go against the judgement of these excellent men. The note also criticizes Herman's choice of application photo but ignores it as a criteria for his applications success.
