Applications, 1925-1931

Application forms are organized by year and by applicant's last name. For each year, a summary of the applications was put together. The "biographies" or summaries contain the information from the application forms, in a standard format and typed, about 2 pages per candidate, and many include photographs. After 1931-1932, the Foundation moved from open applications to nominations.
