Director's Administrative Files 1955-1965.

The Director's Administrative Files consist of materials collected by Dr. Hill during his tenure as Division director. Even after Dr. Hil became dean of the Medical College of Alabama, he maintained separate files for the Division. The materials, therefore, cover the period from shortly after his arrival to 1965. The files include correspondence that documents the development of the Division, Dr. Hill's relations with Department of Medicine chairs Tinsley R. Harrison and Walter Frommeyer, the relationship between the Division and the Veterans Administration Hospital, research activities, and Dr. Hill's medical practice. The files provide information about Division finances, student fellowships, Hill's committee memberships, and professional meetings.
