Description
-
Correspondence between Dr. Baker Woolford and Rosenwald Fund staff, including Edwin R. Embree, Dorothy A. Elvidge, Nathan W. Levin, and Margaret L. Utley. This file documents the fellowship awarded to Dr. Woolford, a faculty member at Emory University, beginning with a recommendation from Emory President Dr. Harry W. Cox for a scholarship to study abroad. The record contains the official Statement of Offer for a 2,000 dollars traveling fellowship and numerous payment vouchers detailing its disbursement in installments. While studying in Berlin, Germany, Dr. Baker experienced a delay in receiving funds and later requested an additional 500 dollars, which was granted as a loan fellowship. A significant portion of the file is dedicated to the lengthy post fellowship process of repaying this loan, detailing his financial difficulties, multiple requests for payment, calculations of accrued interest, and records of partial payments made over several years.
