Description
-
Correspondence between Percy Hayes Baker and Rosenwald Fund staff, including Dr. Raymond Paty, Dorothy A. Elvidge, Edwin R. Embree, and George M. Reynolds. This file documents the complete fellowship journey for Percy Hayes Baker, beginning with his comprehensive application, plan of work, and academic transcripts for the September 1937 to June 1938 academic session. His candidacy is supported by numerous confidential reports and tracks his pivotal decision to change his place of study to the University of Michigan. Following his successful application, Baker was awarded an initial grant of 1,450 dollars and a subsequent renewal of 485 dollars to pursue his studies in science education. The file contains extensive records of the grant’s administration, including detailed payment plans, direct tuition payments, and multiple payment vouchers. Post-fellowship materials document his professional progress, including a report on his accomplished work, confirmation of his completed Ph.D. at the University of Michigan, and later correspondence regarding his dissertation on Drosophila genetics and a potential project in Haiti.
