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
Smithburn, Kenneth C.

The Kenneth C. Smithburn papers document the career of research scientist Kenneth C. Smithburn in the identification and isolation of viruses, particularly the Yellow Fever virus in Africa. The papers also document more broadly the Foundation's interest in public health through the International Health Division and its successor, the Division of Medicine and Public Health. The papers span the years 1922 to 1974, with the bulk falling between the years 1938 through 1959.

Collection
Dunham, Lawrence Boardman (1882-1959)

The Lawrence B. Dunham Papers document the wide range of activities in which Dunham engaged during his lifetime. The papers include correspondence, memoranda, reports, drafts of speeches, clippings, pamphlets, and a scrapbook. Most of this material postdates 1934. Approximately one-quarter of this collection consists of private correspondence; another quarter of it covers Dunham's tenure on the Domestic Relations Court of New York City. There are no separate items regarding Dunham's association with the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, and his work as Director of the Bureau of Social Hygiene is not amply documented here. Users of this collection are advised to supplement their research on any of Dunham's activities for which separate folders exist by examining the correspondence folders covering the same period.
