Each binder is one fiscal year of the outgoing memos and correspondence of Dr. Lorraine F. Lake and her staff when she was Associate Director of the Irene Walter Johnson Institute of Rehabilitation . The papers also contain several financial reports, files, and a scrapbook, on what came to be the Irene Walter Johnson Institute of Rehabilitation, 1949-1978. The scrapbook contains photos of the Institute and its staff, as well as clippings, programs, invitations, and brochures. The Lorraine Lake papers also contains copies of Lake's M.A. thesis and Ph.D. exam and dissertation in the Department of Anatomy. The 1954 M.A. thesis is titled: "An electromyographic study of the action of the second and third dorsal interosseous muscles and their interaction with the extensor digitorum communis and flexor digitorum sublimis of the normal hand." The 1962 Ph.D dissertation is titled: "Finger movement: correlation of electromyographic data with morphology of the dorsal aponeurosis and its muscle, complexes during flexion-extension."
