Collection
Willits, Joseph H. (Joseph Henry) (1889-1979)

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.

Collection
Washburn, Benjamin Earle

The Benjamin E. Washburn papers contain few items of a personal nature. Consisting of reports, correspondence, scrapbooks, diaries, photographs, books and journals, the papers concern Washburn's employment with the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission (1913-1914) and the International Health Board/Division (1915-1939).

Collection
Vincent, George E. (George Edgar) (1864-1941)

The George E. Vincent collection covers the period from 1929-1945. Material includes some correspondence and a family bulletin commenting on the rise of Nazi Germany. The major portion of the collection consists of testimonials to the career of Mr. Vincent. Among the correspondents are George E. Vincent and A. C. Krey.

Collection
Sutton, Francis X. (Francis Xavier)

The Francis X. (Frank) Sutton papers primarily consist of material related to Sutton's time at the Ford Foundation, spanning his tenure as Assistant to the Vice President, Deputy Vice President, and his work writing the history of the Ford Foundation as a consultant. This collection documents Sutton's involvement beyond the Ford Foundation as well; it contains a substantial amount of information on the Aga Khan University in Pakistan, the Rockefeller Foundation and Bellagio Conference, and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC). Additionally, there is a small amount of material on the American Foundation for Intellectual Cooperation with Europe (AFICE) which documents its foundation and eventually, its termination. Personal files can be found at the end of the collection (Series 6) which consist of family correspondence, awards, publications, datebooks, and notebooks – most of which document Sutton's cross-organization involvement, travels, and projects.

Collection
Stevens, David Harrison (1884-1980)

The David H. Stevens papers contain little material of a personal nature. Consisting of reports, correspondence, pamphlets, articles, speeches, and a book manuscript, the papers focus narrowly upon Stevens's term as Director of the Humanities Division of The Rockefeller Foundation (1932-1949) and upon some of his retirement activities. Such correspondence as exists in this collection is mainly concerned with Stevens's contacts among Foundation personnel and grantees or the disposition of his papers with the Foundation archives. Approximately eighty percent of the material in this collection consists of reports and other records related to the operations of the Humanities Division. None of the material relates to Stevens's service with the General Education Board.

Collection
Stakman, E. C. (Elvin Charles) (1885-1979)

The E. C. Stakman Papers contain few items of a personal nature. Consisting of clippings, correspondence, program notes listing Dr. Stakman as a speaker, reprints, and speeches (mostly testimonials to Dr. Stakman), the papers reflect only the public side of his career. Over three-quarters of this collection consists of reprints. Most of the correspondence here is incoming rather than from the hand of Dr. Stakman. Only a few items reflect his activities on behalf of The Rockefeller Foundation.
