Scope and content
This series amounts to a varied collection of documentary "snapshots" of academic life in the depth of the Great Depression. Domestic alcohol prohibition was still the law of the land (hence the reports); trained scientists clamored for jobs and project funds; budgets overall were lean. As the Trachoma Committee indicates, EVC was looked to for his experience in winning foundation support for research as much as for his scientific expertise.
