Description
-
Correspondence letters between John D. Allen of Mercer University, Edwin R. Embree of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, Clark Foreman, and Mercer University President Spright Dowell regarding a fellowship for Mr. and Mrs. John Allen. The file documents the arrangement for a 2,000 dollar grant from the Rosenwald Fund, which was conditional on Mercer University contributing 667 dollars and providing a leave of absence. The fellowship was to support twelve months of research by the Allens at the Library of Congress for a source book of American journalism. The file contains an internal memo detailing the negotiations conducted by Will W. Alexander and Clark Foreman, a telegram from Embree confirming the offer, and a fellowship account record. Later correspondence from 1934 shows Allen sending Embree a copy of the book Culture in the South as a gesture of appreciation and to report on his work since the fellowship.
