The Claude H . Barlow collection covers the period from 1919 to 1964. Important subjects covered in this collection are: Bilharzia Snail Destruction Section; canal clearance; hookworm; sanitation; schistosomiasis; self-infection with schistosomiasis, fluke; snail research and studies; Fluke; and copper sulphate.
The collection consists of personal and office correspondence, clippings, conference information and proceedings, memoranda, and reports.
The Joseph H. Willits Papers will be of interest to the historian of social science and education in the United States. Dr. Willits's keen interest in the quality of academic life is amply documented in his correspondence and manuscripts. The papers focus on Dr. Willits's years after his retirement from The Rockefeller Foundation in 1954 and include correspondence and reports relating to The Educational Survey (1954-1959) and his work on the manuscript "Excellence and Mediocrity in Colleges and Universities" (1961-1969). Approximately one-sixth of this collection refers to his pre-retirement career: this portion (mostly in Series 1) includes speeches, correspondence, and reports generated from his association with the Wharton School and The Rockefeller Foundation. Personal correspondence, however, has been scantily preserved.
The Boards represented in this series are the most important philanthropies that have been developed from the Rockefeller fortune: the Bureau of Social Hygiene; the China Medical Board of the Rockefeller Foundation and its successor, the China Medical Board, Inc.; the Davison Fund; the General Education Board; the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial; the Rockefeller Brothers Fund; the Rockefeller Foundation; the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now known as Rockefeller University); the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission; the Sealantic Fund; and the Spelman Fund of New York.
Correspondence of The Rockefeller Foundation consists principally of material not directly connected with an institutional grant. It includes: inter-office memoranda, correspondence between field officers and the home office, extracts from officers' diaries, forms and other material relating to fellowships; casual requests for information, employment, or aid; printed matter and letters of abuse received by the Foundation. As such, the General Correspondence provides insight into the day-to-day workings of the Foundation.
