Content DescriptionReturn to Top
This collection is made up of a miscellany from Dr. Stephen David Durrant's files. The first section, correspondence spanning the years from 1931 to 1975, is divided into letters received and letters sent. Following this general professional correspondence is Durrant's life-long correspondence with Professor E. Raymond Hall of the Department of Zoology at the University of Kansas. The rest of the collection is arranged alphabetically by subject. Included here are the files Durrant kept on his graduate students, material dealing with the participants in the National Science Foundation's annual Honoraria from 1957 to 1975, various National Science Foundation documents, proposals, and reports, and some material covering Durrant's many University field trips.
