Papers, 1927.

This collection concerns Heidelberg's active involvement in the dissolution during May 1927, of a newly organized high school fraternity. The collection consists mainly of Heidelberg's correspondence with Julian James, Imperial Master of the Theta Kappa Omega Fraternity, and George A. Lawo, James's employer, of the John Gerber Co., Memphis, Tenn. Heidelberg maintained that the existence of a fraternity among Clarksdale students would be detrimental to the high school and quotes a resolution by the Secondary School Department of the National Education Association to support his position. James, who had organized the Clarksdale chapter of the T.K.O., defends the fraternity, but yields to the necessity of dissolving the Clarksdale chapter.
