Description
-
Correspondence between Orestes Jeremiah Baker and Rosenwald Fund staff. This file documents the complete fellowship process for Orestes Jeremiah Baker, who applied while serving as a librarian at Prairie View State College in Prairie View, Texas. His successful application is confirmed by a formal Statement of Offer for an 800 dollars grant, supported by correspondence detailing payment procedures for his studies at Hampton Institute during the 1930 to 1931 academic year. The file tracks his professional trajectory through post-fellowship records and assessments of the program's impact on former fellows. Additionally, the records reflect Bakers broader academic and professional context, including a compilation of Master's theses from Prairie View State College 1938 to 1944, a journal article examining trends in Negro education, specifically addressing inadequate library staff and collections, and a 1943 report on the status of libraries across eight senior colleges for Black students in Texas.
