Description
Correspondence letters between Dr. Marvin F. Haygood and Dr. D. T. Rankin of the State Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Alto, Georgia, and staff of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, including Dr. Michael M. Davis and Dr. M. O. Bousfield, regarding a grant to support a Negro intern position. The file details the tenure of several interns, including Dr. M. A. Thomas, Dr. E. E. Butler, Dr. W. A. Davis, and Dr. James A. Williams, covering grant renewals, a fellowship application for Dr. Thomas to study at the University of Pennsylvania, and the difficulty of filling the position. Also included is confidential correspondence from the National Tuberculosis Association detailing administrative and personnel issues at the sanatorium, which led to the termination of one intern for moral reasons and concerns about the grants continuation. The file contains fellowship applications, numerous letters of reference and recommendation, and a large number of payment vouchers for the interns salaries.
