Description
-
Correspondence between Miss Belle Boone Beard, Mrs. William C. Haygood and Dorothy A. Elvidge, concerning a joint fellowship application with Professor Wayland J. Hayes of Vanderbilt University. An award letter dated April 25, 1945, grants Beard 2,500 dollars for a twelve month period for her project. Subsequent letters include her acceptance and arrangements for the grant to be paid in ten monthly installments of 250 dollars. Documents include her application, which outlines a research project titled Sociology for the Professions, aimed at developing sociological materials for the training of professional personnel. The file contains strong confidential letters of reference from professional colleagues in Virginia, including William Shands Meacham, Director of Parole, and Dr. E. T. Krueger, Head of Sociology at Vanderbilt University, who attest to her leadership and the importance of the proposed project. Also included are her academic transcript from Bryn Mawr College, where she received her Ph.D., and numerous payment vouchers.
