Rupert B. Vance (1899-1975), Kenan professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was associated with the Institute for Research in Social Science at the University from the 1920s to the 1970s. He was a leading sociologist of the American South and actively encouraged social, political, and economic changes in the region. Correspondence, mostly scattered, of Vance, about fifty drafts and other versions of writings by Vance, and miscellaneous other items. Correspondence, chiefly from the 1950s, deals largely with Vance's projects involving economic and social conditions in the South and with his administrative duties. There also are a letter, 1935, from poet Donald Davidson (1893-1968); letters, 1933, 1949, 1954, from C. Vann Woodward (1908- ); and letters, various dates, from Howard W. Odum. Letters from the 1930s discuss the status of sociology at the University of North Carolina.
