Description
-
Correspondence between Walter C. Bailey and Rosenwald Fund staff, including William C. Haygood and Will W. Alexander, as well as with recommenders such as Dr. Boyers. This comprehensive file documents the fellowship process for Walter C. Bailey, beginning with his application to pursue a sociology program at the University of Chicago, supported by his Indiana University transcript and several confidential reports. Bailey was successfully awarded a 2,400 dollars grant, as detailed in the official notification letter. However, the fellowship was significantly impacted by his health issues, specifically a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, leading to a series of letters from the Fund expressing well wishes and confirming the grant would be held for him. The correspondence tracks his recovery progress and his subsequent request to transfer the fellowship from the University of Chicago to the University of California, Los Angeles. The administrative side of the grant is also documented, including a 600 dollars quarterly payment voucher and a letter indicating the transfer of unpaid fellowships to the management of Nathan W. Levin. The file concludes with a formal record setting a terminal date of April 30, 1948, for the fellowship.
