Morgan papers, 1910-1966.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47841618

The collection includes writings, correspondence, biographical information, and photographs. The material consists primarily of Morgan's writings and photographs of or by her. Her writings date from 1911-1955 and include her books as well as her scientific articles, some of them co-written with Mount Holyoke College students. The collection also includes her articles about zoologist Cornelia M. Clapp, the Mount Holyoke College Zoology Department and science curriculum, and the selection of Roswell Gray Ham as the school's first male president. Correspondence, 1924-1960, chiefly reflects Morgan's efforts to help former students, including Virginia F. Babcock and Mildred Trotter, find employment. Biographical information, 1930-1966, consists of newspaper articles, award and lecture announcements, and material relating to Morgan's death and funeral. It also contains an article about the Morgan Adams Graduate Fellowship for advanced study in the biological sciences that was established at Mount Holyoke with funds from her estate. Photographs, ca.1910-1955, chiefly consist of formal and informal pictures of Morgan alone or with Mount Holyoke College students and colleagues, including Cornelia M. Clapp and A. Elizabeth Adams. In addition, there are three photographs of the "Chemical Department" and "Physiological Department" at the Stazione zoologica di Napoli in 1924, two photographs taken by Morgan during a visit to the Rocky Mountains in about 1949, and slides of many of the photographs relating to her.
