Description
-
Correspondence letters between Eugene Pendleton Banks and the Julius Rosenwald Fund staff, including Hilde Reitzes and Dorothy A. Elvidge, about his application for and acceptance of a 1,500 dollars fellowship for a twelve month period beginning September 1, 1948, to complete his Ph.D. coursework in Anthropology. The letters also discuss his request to change his place of study from Harvard or Columbia University to the University of New Mexico, which the Fund approved, and subsequent correspondence about delaying the final university choice. Documents also include confidential letters of reference from his professors at the University of New Mexico, including Dr. Leslie Spier and Dr. W. W. Hill, and from John L. Plyler, President of Furman University. These references praise his excellent academic record, noting he achieved the highest score on the Graduate Record Examination ever recorded at the University of New Mexico. The file contains an application summary, a photograph of Banks, and his academic transcripts from Brevard College, Furman University, and the University of New Mexico.
