Description
-
Correspondence between Frederick Schenck Barkalow, Jr., and the Julius Rosenwald Fund staff, including George M. Reynolds and William C. Haygood, regarding his successful application for a 1,400 dollars fellowship in 1941 to complete his Ph.D. in Zoology at the University of Michigan. The correspondence documents the deferment of his grant due to his military service as an officer in the U.S. Army during World War II. After the war, in 1946, letters show him resuming his fellowship and receiving approval to change his dissertation topic. Documents include his initial and revised project plans; the original thesis was a study of the cotton rat, while the revised topic became An Ecological Study of the Game and Fur Animals of Alabama, drawing on his pre-war experience as a project leader for the Alabama Department of Conservation. The file also contains confidential letters of reference, a detailed list and copies of his scientific publications, academic transcripts from the Georgia School of Technology and the University of Michigan, and numerous photographs related to his wildlife research.
