INTRODUCTION
Horace Mann Bond (1904-1972) was a leading educator, scholar, and public figure among black
Americans during the middle decades of the twentieth century. As an educator he was a teacher as
well as an administrator; as a scholar he authored two major studies of blacks in American education ;
and as a public figure he was involved in activities devoted to improving race relations and as a leader
among those interested in Africa in the period of transition from colonialism to independence.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Bond came from a highly educated family. His father was a
prominent minister and a leader in interracial activities intheSouth. Both parents were graduates from
Oberlin College.
A graduate of Lincoln University (Pennsylvania) in 1923, Horace Mann Bond secured his
doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1936. In the intervening dozen years he had begun his
career as a college teacher and administrator, had married Julia Agnes Washington in 1930, and had
written two major scholarly monographs: Education of the Negro in the American Social Order and
his dissertation published in 1939 as Negro Education in Alabama: A Study in Cotton and Steel. In
this period he also had made contacts that were to influence him throughout his life: with Charles S.
Johnson, the sociologist and later president of Fisk University, and especially with Edwin R. Embree,
the president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. These contacts were important in shaping Bond's early
scholarly research while he was teaching at Fisk University, and subsequently led to his appointment
as dean of the new black college Dillard University of New Orleans from 1935 to 1937, and president
of Fort Valley State College in Georgia from 1939 to 1945.
Bond was the president of Lincoln University from 1945 toi 957, and served successively as the
dean of the School of Education and Director of the Bureau of Educational and Social Research at
Atlanta University from 1957 until just before his death in 1972. During his later years he published
the fruits of two long-time research interests: A Study of Factors Involved in the Identification and
Encouragement of Unusual Academic Talent among Underprivileged Populations (1967) and
Education for Freedom: A History of Lincoln University, Pennsylvania (1976).
Beginning with his years at Lincoln University, Bond demonstrated considerable interest in Africa,
making a number of trips to West Africa usually as an educational and economic consultant. He
served as a founding member or held office in several organizations such as the American Society
for African Culture, the African Studies Association, and the African-American Institute.
Horace Mann Bond's significance is revealed by the scope of these papers. Part I: Bond Family
Papers, 1892-1971, and General Correspondence, 1926-1972 contains rich discussions of the
family history and Bond's own correspondence for more than forty years. Part II: Subject Files,
1926-1971 is especially rich in correspondence with organizations dedicated to black education,
race relations, and African affairs, as well as the leading individuals. His career as a college
administrator is detailed in Part III: Institutional Files, 1919-1972. PartIV:Research Files, 1910-1971,
and Writings, 1926-1972, contains a wealth of material documenting Bond's scholarly activities.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The papers of Horace Mann Bond (1904-1972) consist of personal and professional correspondence, administrative and teaching records, research data, manuscripts of published and unpublished speeches, articles and books, and Bond family papers. Fully represented in the Papers are
Bond's two self-proclaimed major interests: black education, especially its history and sociological
aspects, and Africa, particularly as related to educational and political conditions.
The Papers span the years from 1830 to 1979, with the bulk of the material falling into the period
from 1926 to 1972.
General correspondence, covering over forty years of Bond's exchanges' with friends and
professional contacts, accounts for approximately 5 percent of the collection. It includes correspondence for which no specific subject files were created by Bond. Access to particular correspondents
is provided by the Series II description and by a selective name index to the correspondence (see
Appendix 1).
Alphabetically arranged subject files make up nearly a third of the collection. Bond's affiliations
with various educational, cultural, and community organizations are well represented in these files.
Of special interest are the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
folders, including some material relating to Bond's work on the 1954 United States Supreme Court
desegregation case; field work reports to the Rosenwald Fund; and correspondence with and
concerning W.E.B: Du Bois, Langston Hughes, and Charles S. Johnson.
Another third of the Papers documents Bond's career at several educational institutions.
Considerable correspondence, faculty and trustee files, and historical material distinguish the
Lincoln University Papers. Atlanta University is represented primarily by over 300 family histories
produced by Bond's students. Material relating to Bond's faculty and administrative posts at other
institutions is substantive in content although not in bulk.
Material regarding Bond's educational research makes up approximately 10 percent of the
collection. His study of the economic and educational backgrounds of black doctorates is of
particular interest, as are several less extensive projects concerning southern educational institutions and standardized tests. A few items relate to Bond's Ph.D. thesis research on the history of
black education in Alabama.
Writings in the collection span five decades, from a 1927 Crisis article to the posthumously
published history of Lincoln University. They include newspaper articles written for the Associated
Negro Press in the early 1930s; Bond's first book, Education of the Negro in the American Social
Order, published in 1934; and the Harvard University Inglis Lecture presented by Bond in 1957.
The Bond family papers consist primarily of correspondence belonging to James Bond, Horace
Bond's father, describing his activities in black and interracial organizations in Kentucky in the
1920s. Limited other material includes correspondence between Bond and his wife, children, and
brothers.
Bond's African interests are especially well represented in various parts of the collection.
Included in the Papers are. extensive correspondence and printed material pertaining to the
continent; files relating to Kwame Nkrumah, the American Society for African Culture, and the
International African American Corporation; correspondence with potential African students at
Lincoln University; research data on African students in American colleges; and numerous writings.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Horace Mann Bond was born on 8 November 1904 in Nashville, Tennessee. He was the son of
James and Jane Alice Browne Bond, the fifth of their six children. Hjs mother was a graduate of
Oberlin College, and his father, a minister, held degrees fromBerea College arid Oberlin Seminary.
James Bond's career included such positions as financial agent forUnçoin Institute in Kentucky,
college pastor àt Talladega College in Alabama,-minister of an Atlanta church, and directorof the
Kentucky Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Jane Bond was à teacher for many years and
pursued graduate work in sociology at Oberlin College.
Horace Mann Bond attended the elementary and high schools of Lincoln Institute, Talladega
College, andAtlánta University. He completed secondary school at Lincoln Institute in 1919; He
began college work at Lincoln University in Oxford, Pennsylvania, in the fäll óf 1919, and received
an A.B. degree from that institution in 1923.
In 1924 Bond accepted a position as director of the school of education at Langston University
in Oklahoma. That same year, he began graduate work at the University of Chicago. He received,
a master's degree in education in 1926,.In 1936 Bond earned his Ph.D. degree in the history of
education. His thesis, "Social and Economic Influences on the Public School Education of Negroes
in Alabama, 1865-1930," was awarded the University of Chicago's Susan Cblver Rosenberg Prize
in June 1937 for the best thesis in the social sciences. It was published in 1939 as Negro Education
in Alabama: A Study in Cotton,and Steel. Bond's first book! Education of the Negro in the American
Social Order, had been published in 1934.
Between 1926 and 1936 Bond pursued both graduate study and employment at various
educational institutions. For the academic year 1927-1928, he was director of the extension
program at the State Normal School in Montgomery, Alabama. In the fall of 1928, he accepted what
was to be the firët of several positions with Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. Bond served as
head resident of the men's dormitory, taught several classes in education and history, and acted as
research assistant to Charles S. Johnson of the social sciences department. During the 1929 and
1930 summer school sessions of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, Bond conducted special classes
under the auspices of the.American Social Hygiene Association. From 1930 to 1931 Bond was
employed at Fisk as a part-time lecturer,in education: Hé worked full-time from 1932 to 1934 as an
instructor and as afield worker for student and alumni promotion. In 1933 Bond supervised a Fisk
project for the Tennessee Valley Authority which surveyed the social, economic, and educational
conditions of the black population in selected counties inseven states. From the fall of 1937 to 1,939,
Bond was head of Fisk's department of education.
It was during his first tenure at Fisk that Horace Bond met Julia Washington, á Ï929 graduate
of the university. They were married in 1930. Their first child, Marguerite Jane, was born in 1938;
0
Horace Julian was born in 1940, and James George'inf.1944. _'•
'
Beginning in the fallof 1929 and continuing for two years,-Bond participated in asurvey .of black
schools and the achievement of black children in North Carolina, Louisiana, and Alabama. During
this time, Bond visited more than 700 urban and rural black schools^and adrfiinistered standardized
tests to nearly ten thousand children. The project was sponsored by the Julius'Rosenwald Fund, a
private foundation which concentrated its efforts in black and southern education. Bond received
some financial support for graduate study from the Fund; his association with it continued for many
years. As part of another investigation group of the Rosenwald Fund known as the School
Exploration Group, Bond and his wife were assigned to study an isolated rural community, Star
Creek, in Louisiana during the last months of 1934. The Bonds were directed to observe and report
xv
on black schools, social and economic conditions, and race relations in the rural South.
In January 1935 Bond began work as dean of Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Dillard University combined the institutions of Straight University and New Orleans University with
a design to implement some of the principles of "progressive education." The first classes of the new
institution were held in September 1935, with Bond teaching courses in education and psychology
as well as attending to his administrative reponsibilities.
Horace Mann Bond accepted his first college presidency in 1939. The Fort Valley Normal and
Industrial School was being incorporated into the Georgia state system of public schools for blacks
as the Fort Valley State College. Bond agreed to serve as acting president for one year; he remained
as president until the fall of 1945.
While at Fort Valley, besides carrying out regular administrative duties and teaching, Bond
worked toward the improvement of college-community relationships and acted to upgrade area
black public schools. In conjuction with the Conference of Presidents of Negro Land Grant Colleges
and the United States War Department, Bond was also active in the planning of vocational and
academic training programs for black soldiers and veterans.
In 1945 Bond was elected to the presidency of Lincoln University in Oxford, Pennsylvania. He
was the fifth president of the institution, which was founded in 1854, to provide a higher education
in the arts and sciences for "youth of Africandescent," and, although he himself did not make this
distinction, he was its first black president. Much of Bond's work at Lincoln was directed toward public
relations; during his twelve years there he delivered hundreds of addresses and managed to
increase state financial aid to the institution. In 1950 Bond inaugurated for Lincoln one of the nation's
first institutes for. African studies. He was largely responsible for a rise in the number of African
students attending the institution. On a community level, Bond participated in efforts to desegregate
local public facilities; his activities included campaigning for a position on the Lower Oxford Board
of School Directors in 1947.
Bond pursued extensive research into the history of Lincoln University and the surrounding area.
The. project was begun as part of the university's 1954 centennial celebration, but Bond's
investigation continued well beyond that year. Most of the writing based on his research was
published posthumously (1976) as Education for Freedom: A History of Lincoln University,
Pennsylvania.
Bond resigned his presidency of Lincoln in June 1957 and was named President Honorarius for
life. In 1949, while at Lincoln University, Horace Bond made the first of many trips to Africa. On this
initial visit, under the sponsorship of the African Council on Arts and Research, he made a survey
of secondary education in British West Africa. Subsequent trips also included educational consultation, as well as participation in Ghanaian independence celebrations and Liberian mining expeditions.
Bond's interest in Africa and African-American relations led to his affiliations as founding
member, officer member, or officer with several organizations, including the American Society for
African Culture, the African Studies Association, the International African-American Corporation,
and the African-American Institute.
In December 1957 Bond delivered the annual Inglis lecture at the Harvard University Graduate
School of Education. His address, 'The Search for Talent," dealt with the educational traditions
which limited the finding of talent to children of educationally and financially privileged families. 777©
Search for Talent was published in 1959.
Horace Bond accepted the position of dean of the Atlanta University School of Education in
Atlanta, Georgia, in July 1957. In addition to fulfilling his role as teacher and administrator there, he
engaged in several research projects, including an extensive study of black doctorates. In 1966
Bond relinquished his duties as dean to become director of the Atlanta University Bureau for
Educational and Social Research, a position which allowed him to concentrate almost exclusively
on educational research. He retired from the University in 1971.
Horace Mann Bond died on 21 December 1972, in Atlanta.

Bond Family Papers, 1892-1971
Series I consists primarily of the correspondence of various;members of Horace Mann Bond's
family (see Appendix 1). The series is arranged alphabetically by individual's name, with a file of
general correspondence following all other material.
Thé papers of James Bond, Horace Mann Bond's father (1863-1929), make up the bulk of the
series. Consisting primarily of carbon-copy typescripts of outgoing letters from 1924 through 1928,
the correspondence (Series I, folders 5-19, [1:5-19]) documents James Bond's work as Secretary
of Colored Work with the Kentucky Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) and as director of
the Kentucky Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Letters to his family, friends, business associates, and others deal with a variety of personal, social, and political topics, including racial
discrimination on streetcars in Louisville, the 1926 World YMCA Conference in Finland, and the
academic progress of the Bond children. James Bond worked for some years on an autobiography
which he called "Life on the Racial Margin." Included in his papers (1:20-21) are handwritten
autobiographical notes and sketches, a typewritten manuscript, ând a transcript of the work edited
by his son Horace. The miscellaneous papers belonging to James Bond (1:22-23) consist largely

Access to specific correspondents or letters is aided by a selective index to the correspondence
(see Appendix 1 ) and by the following detailed description.
Personal correspondence in the Series includes long-term communication with former classmates and professional associates. These include publisher Wendell Dabney, educators Roy
Davenport and Cecil Halliburton, race relations advocate T. Edward Davis, PanAfhcanist J.G. St.
Clair Drake, and educator and publisher U.K. Wells.
Long-term but more formal correspondence occurs with West Virginia State College President
John W. Davis, Bond's University of Chicago graduate associate Clark Foreman, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College President William H. Gray, childhood acquaintance and educator
Eugene D. Raines, Journal of Negro Education editor Charles H. Thompson, Alabama State
Teachers College President H. Councill Trenholm, and southern educator John T. Williams.
1926^1935
Correspondence from 1926 through 1935 is relatively sparse but gives a fair representation of
Bond's work during these years with the American Social Hygiene Association, Langston University,
the State Teachers College at Montgomery, Alabama and other institutions and organizations. Most
of Bond's communication with sociologist Robert Ezra Park, black education specialist Ambrose
Caliver, and Rosenwald Fund Explorer Allison Davis took place in this period.
1936-1940
The correspondence generated in these years deals increasingly with research and publication
projects, and includes that with A.A. Schomburg at the New York Public Library and editors of
publications such as the Journal of Negro Education and the National Urban League's Opportunity.
Significant correspondence includes that with E. Franklin Frazier at Howard University and with
writer Donald F. Jones. Of special interest are a 28 May 1937 critical response by Bond regarding
a book about slavery, and correspondence with the Board of Home Missions. A letter to U.K. Wells
in May of 1936 provides a fairly detailed description of Bond's educational and professional activities
up to that time.
1941-1945
Correspondence during the World War II years includes miscellaneous items reflecting wartime
domestic and travel inconveniences. The correspondence, especially that with Joseph V. Baker,
pertains to Bond's association with the development of vocational education, the education and
reeducation bf military veterans, and efforts to increase black employment in industry. Information
about the general conditions of black higher education in the South is contained in correspondence
with J.W. Holley and in 9 July 1945 correspondence with Rufus Clement.
Significant personal correspondence beginning during this period occurs with Kenneth Bright,
Thelma Clement-Boozer, and Lewis Wade Jones. Subjects discussed range from music to the
frustrations of military life. Correspondence on 8 May 1942 with E. Washington Rhodes, one-time
editor of the Washington Post, recounts an episode in 1924 when Rhodes told Bond that he would.
"never be worth a damn."
1946-1956
General correspondence during Bond's tenure as president of Lincoln University emphasizes
Bond's public life. Much of the correspondence consists of invitations to speak and to serve on
various educational, civic, and race relations committees, and of letters to and from Bond responding
Parti
to various publications and speeches. Significant correspondence relating to black rights and
PanAfricanism occurred in March 1950 with EdgarT. Thompson, professor of sociology and anthropology at Duke University; with Samuel E. Morison on 26 February 1951 ; and with J.G. St. Clair
Drake and Marguerite Cartwright.
Other correspondence during this period includes brief critical comments by Bond on the
historical handling of education by colonialists in Indonesia (11 March 1949 and 12 April 1952), and
a 3 January 1956 statement regarding the concept of equality. Correspondence with Robert C.
Weaver on 29 March 1956 describes some of the political difficulties associated with Bond's Lincoln
University presidency.
Correspondence of personal interest includes exchanges with writer and former classmate
Melvin B. "Cap" Toison and with former student Martin Kilson, as well as with such long-term
correspondents as T. Edward Davis.
1957-1962
Correspondence of the late 1950s and early 1960s reflects the desegregation and civil rights
activities of the period. Inquiries from and responses to college African studies departments and
references to student demonstrations are frequent. Bond's support of the students is made clear in
his letter of 15 April 1960 to former president Harry S Truman. The attitudes of some black
administrators concerning the demonstrations are described in letters of 27 April 1960 and 5 May
1960.
Academic inquiries about Africa and about the history and sociology of the South and
Pennsylvania are also frequent; questions came from research groups, professors, teachers, and
students of all ages. Bond's responses were usually generous. Federal government offices also
sought Bond's advice, as shown through correspondence with James C. Evans of the office of the
Secretary of Defense (13 May 1960) and with William Weathersby of the United States Information
Agency (17 May and 19 June 1961).
Additional special interest correspondence during this period includes a 10 September 1958
letter to Stuart Innerst in which Bond discusses the history of black jail and prison populations, an
extensive 5 April 1960 response to Max Lerner's reference to "physic disabilities" in which Bond
discusses black achievement, and Bond's responses to Carleton Putnam's Race and Reason (15
and 20 July 1962).
Also from this period is Bond's brief note of praise to E. Franklin Frazier on 28 March 1962, and
correspondence with former student Virginia Durr dealing with a public service television show that
had depicted Africans as unfit for freedom (13 June, 1 July, and 3 July 1962).
1963-1967
Several inquiries during this period refer to Bond's study of the origins of black doctorates;
detailed responses appear on 25 October 1963 and 12 March 1964, the latter containing ideas for
further research. A 15 November 1963 letter responds to a question about federal aid to black
education in terms of the doctorates' study. Other significant correspondence includes a
10 December 1963 interview in which Bond describes the "man-made caste" system in the United
States, and a circa April 1964 statement by Bond on the effects of racial imbalance on children.
1968-1972
General correspondence toward the end of Bond's life is increasingly miscellaneous and
incomplete. Of special interest are letters of 27 September 1968 and 1 October 1968, which discuss
Bond's son Horace Julian and Nigerian affairs, and Bond's 26 October 1968 response to an inquiry
about the advisability of removing Little Black Sambo from circulation at the Toledo Public Library.

SERIES DESCRIPTION
Series III
Subject Files, 1926-1971
Series III makes up approximately one third of UPA's microfilm collection. The series consists
of alphabetically arranged subject files representing many of Bond's personal and professional
interests and affiliations. While several files include routine papers such as correspondence
regarding speaking engagements (111:147-165) and financial material (Series III: Folders 167-208),
neither grouping having been included in this microform publication, the bulk of Series III provides
substantial information on Bond's activities throughout his lifetime. Subject files pertaining to Africa
and education predominate; these topics and others covered in Series III are discussed in detail in
the following description.
AFRICA: Organizations
Bond participated as a member or officer in numerous organizations representing African
business and cultural interests.
Especially in the early 1960s, Bond was active in facilitating cooperation between Liberian,
United States, and Swedish mining interests in Liberia, primarily underthe auspices of the International African American Corporation (IAAC). The IAAC file (111:229-253) documents the concession
agreement which granted rights to explore, develop, and mine minerals in Liberia, and which
required the formation of a development company, the Liberian American Minerals Company
(LAMCO). Materials in the file include correspondence, annual and quarterly reports, geological
maps, stock quotations and stockholder notices, and minutes. Also included are papers relating to
W.V.S. Tubman, president of the Republic of Liberia.
Bond was on the board of directors of the Council on Race and Caste in World Affairs (CORAC)
and was one of its representatives to the first Congress of Black Writers and Artists in Paris in 1956.
The CO RAC file (111:111-113) contains correspondence relating to Bond's participation in the 1956
Congress and to other activities with which it was associated, working papers for meetings, and
financial and progress reports. Correspondence, press releases, agenda, and informal notes
associated with the Summit Meetings of Negro Leaders held in 1958 and 1959 are also included in
the file. Bond attended the first of these Summit meetings as a representative of CORAC and the
American Society of African Culture (AMSAC).
AMSAC was organized after the 1956 Congress under the sponsorship of CORAC. AMSAC
was affiliated with an international Society of African Culture which originated in France. Its purpose
was to broaden cross-cultural understanding between Africa and the United States. Bond served
as the organzation's first president and on its executive council. The AMSAC file (I II :78-91 ) contains
extensive correspondence, often with executive director John A. Davis, concerning operating
principles, African students and visitors, and ideas for research. Also included are newsletters,
agenda, annual reports, bibliographies, programs, and applications to AMSAC for jobs and
fellowship grants.
The AMSAC Second Congress of Black Writers and Artists file (III :92) consists of materials for
the international meeting of the Society of African Culture. Bond was part of the AMSAC delegation
to this meeting. Materials include correspondence and memoranda dealing with the conference
theme, the responsibility of black leaders toward unity and solidarity of black culture, delegate lists
and publicity for the meeting, and miscellaneous notes.
27
Part 2
The African-American Institute was founded in 1953 to foster closer relations between the
peoples of the United States and Africa through a variety of projects and continuing programs. The
Institute administered scholarships for African students in the United States and Africa, placed
United States teachers in schools and colleges in African nations where requested, disseminated
information about Africa in the United States, and brought about exchanges of leaders between the
United States and Africa. Bond served on the board of trustees and held the positions of president
and director of the Institute.
The Institute file (111:49-61) consists primarily of minutes, reports, copies of the AfricanAmerican Bulletin, and other printed material.
The African Studies Association was founded in 1957 to promote scholarship in African topics.
The materials in the file (lll:63-•4) include programs and notes of annual meetings, newsletters,
rosters of American scholars studying African issues, and an abstract of Bond's "African-American
Relations through Colleges for Negroes."
The All African Student Union of the Americas was organized to increase communication
among African students in North America and to discuss and publicize theories and actions for
African self-sufficiency and solidarity. Bond served on its advisory board. Materials in the file
.(1.11:66-68) include newsletters; programs, minutes, reports, address transcriptions, and working
-papers for annual meetings and conferences; and limited correspondence.
AFRICA: Trips
From 1949 to 1963, Bond made at least sixteen trips to Africa. Materials documenting these
travels are arranged chronologically by trip date and consist of correspondence, invitations,
programs, itineraries, clippings, and other printed material. Photographs relating to Bond's African
visits are filed separately in Series VII, which is not included in this microform publication.
The most fully documented trip is Bond's first, in 1949 (lll:25-28). The invitation to visit Africa
was issued by Lincoln University alumni of West Africa; the main purpose of the trip was for Bond
to inspect and make recommendations about the school system of West Africa. Bond's extravagant
welcome from the people of West Africa is evidenced by newspaper clippings and correspondence.
Other materials include Bond's written statements about the significance of the trip to him as an
African-American, press releases, and welcome addresses. A film of this trip is in VII :73 in videotape
copy.
Several Africa trips in the early 1950s dealt primarily with Bond's role in negotiations toward
United States investment in the development of natu ral resources in Africa. The July 1957 trip ( 111:35)
related to the involvement of American corporate interests in a Volta River and Liberian mineral
project (see also 111:217).
Trips of December 1958 ( 111:36-<38), December 1961 ( 111:44), and September 1963 (111:46^7)
relate primarily to activities of the American Society of African Culture.
In December 1958, Bond participated in the AMSAC-sponsored All-African People's Conference in Ghana as president of AMSAC. Bond attended the ceremonies for the opening of the
organization's offices in Lagos in December of 1961 (lll:44). He also represented AMSAC in
September 1963 at inaugural ceremonies for the William Leo Hansberry College of African Studies
in Nigeria.
Most other trips were in response to invitations to attend celebrations and meetings. In June
1960 (III:39-40), Horace and Julia Bond attended ceremonies commemorating Ghana's new status
as a Republic of the British Commonwealth. The trip of October 1960 (III:41 ) was in response to an
invitation issued by the Eastern Region of Nigeria during the period of the Nigerian Independence
Celebrations. The trip of November 1961 (lll:43) resulted from an invitation to attend the ceremony
of the formal inauguration of the University of Ghana. In December 1962 (lll:45), Bond chaired a
panel discussion at the First International Congress of Africanists in Ghana.

EDUCATION: Organizations
Horace Bond was associated with numerous educational organizations, many of which are
represented in Series III. Subject files dealing with educational organizations generally include
correspondence, printed material, programs for meetings and conferences and other printed matter,
copies of addresses and working papers, miscellaneous notes taken by Bond during various
meetings, and travel and hotel receipts. Bond's most extensive work with educational organizations
was during the 1950s and 1960s. Several of the more prominent or substantively represented
organizations are described below.
Most of the materials in the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools file (lll:97) relate
to work of that organization toward improved educational opportunities for students in black
institutions of higher learning, including programs and correspondence dealing with annual meetings in 1935and 1954, and minutes and correspondencedealing with activities of the organization's

Charter School in Philadelphia and the Maryland State College and Princess Anne branches of the
University of Maryland. Materials include magazines and catalogs about the institutions.
In 1948, Bond initiated a campaign to the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro
Students for a definition of integrated education which would be sensible of the nonsegregated
nature of predominantly black institutions as well as of predominantly white institutions. By 1952that
organization introduced a program for what was called "two-way integration." Most of the correspondence of the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students file (111:276-277) pertains

SERIES DESCRIPTION
Series IV
Institutional Files, 1919-1972
Series IV consists primarily of correspondence and printed material relating to the administrative and teaching work done by Bond at several educational institutions, as well as papers regarding
institutional histories and community affairs. The series is arranged in five sections as follows:
Fisk University Files, 1928-1959
Dillard University Files, 1931-1968
Fort Valley State College Files, 1938-1970
Lincoln University Files, 1919-1972
Atlanta University Files, 1937-1971
Individual files within each section are generally arranged alphabetically by subject or type of
material, with exceptions as noted in the Reel Index beginning on page 57 of this guide.
FISK UNIVERSITY
Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, is a liberal arts college founded in 1865 by the American
Missionary Association. Horace Bond was an instructor in the department of education in 1923 and
from 1928 to 1929. He was employed as associate professor of education from 1932 to 1934 and
as head of the department of education from 1937 to 1939.
Limited material pertaining to Fisk University consists primarily of correspondence of a general
nature (Series IV, Folders 1-2) and programs, alumni magazines, and other publications (IV:3-4).
Also included is correspondence (IV:5) regarding Bond's attempt to collect photographs of people
prominent in black education for a permanent display in the Fisk department of education. The
correspondence is arranged alphabetically by the name of the person requested to donate his
picture.
DILLARD UNIVERSITY
Dillard University was created by the merging of Straight University and New Orleans University,
with support from the Rosenwald Fund and other foundations. The institution was chartered in 1930 ;
the first classes were held in September 1935. Bond assisted in the planning for the new university
and was officially hired as dean in the spring of 1934.
The Dillard University material consists primarily of correspondence (IV:6-17) and general
administrative records (IV: 18-22) documenting Bond's role in the formation of the institution and his
subsequent work as a key administrator. Topics dealt with include the faculty, budget, summer
school, extension and community work, student affairs, accreditation, and admissions policies. The
printed material file (IV:23-25) contains programs, catalogs, brochures, and announcements,
including an address presented at the occasion of the cornerstone laying on 27 May 1934 ; a booklet
of poetry edited by Marcus B. Christian; and copies of The Arts Quarterly published at the school.
Papers (IV:26) pertaining to James Hardy Dillard, a prominent figure in southern black education,
include correspondence with Horace Bond, reprints of articles written by Dillard, minutes of a 1925
conference at which James Dillard represented the Slater and Jeanes Funds, and an address by
Bond titled "James Hardy Dillard, A Southern Gentleman."
In 1962 Bond was invited by Dillard. University trustees to prepare a historical statement about
the university. Related materials (IV:27-29) include correspondence regarding the progress of
51
Part3
Bond's work on the statement, outlines and drafts, correspondence dating from 1935 to 1937 which
Bond used as research material, and numerous notes on index cards. Bond's association with
Dillard University after his deanship also included his work as a consultant to Dillard's teacher
education program in 1965 (IV:30).
FORT VALLEY STATE COLLEGE
Fort Valley Normal and Industrial School was a private school for blacks aided in large part by
philanthropy and by donations of the Episcopal Church. In 1939 the school was transferred to the
Georgia State Higher Education System and was renamed Fort Valley State College. Horace Bond
was president of the college from 1939 to 1945,.
The Fort Valley State College correspondence file (I V:32-36) includes general correspondence
regarding Rosenwald Fund assistance, the recruitment of faculty, student activities, curriculum,
physical maintenance of the college, and the development of community programs. Correspondence with the Georgia State Board of Regents discusses subjects ranging from the new state status
of the college to the search for Bond's successor. General administrative records (IV :37) include the
statutes of the college in a statement of objectives and various reports. Financial records (I V:39) and
mailing lists (IV:41) used during Bond's tenure supplement the general administrative papers.
Bond's lecture notes (IV:40) deal especially with black education and the role of blacks in American
life. Printed material (IV: 43-44) includes copies of thé student publication The Peachlite, catalogs,
and newspaper clippings.
While at Fort Valley, Bond managed to maintain funding for the institution from both the state and
the Rosenwald Fund, despite political opposition which threatened to bar acceptance of private
foundation funds. Georgia Governor Herman Eugene Talmadge, a strong advocate of racially
separate schools, was a key figure in these controversies. Correspondence and numerous;
newspaper clippings (IV:45) describe his policies and.the state of black education in Georgia in the
early 1940s. Talmadge visited Fort Valley State College in May 1941 ; the visit is documented by
several photographs (see Vll:32, not included in this microform publication);
In 1944 Bond was elected president of the Conference of Presidents of Negro Land Grant
Colleges. With that organization, Bond was involved in the planning of educational programs for,
black soldiers and veterans and in à protest against the exclusion.of blacks from a Navy officers
trairiing program. Correspondence (IV:38) prior to and after his election as Conference president
details these activities.
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
Lincoln University in Oxford, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1854 to provide "youth of African
descent" with a higher education. Horace Bond was president of Lincoln University•the school's
first black president•from 1946 to 1957. Material relating.to Lincoln University is divided into two
main sections: primarily administrative files (I V:46-177) and files pertaining to the written history of
the institution (IV;178-216).
Several extensive correspondence files make up a large portion of the administrative section.
General correspondence (IV:73-80) consists of correspondence between Bond, members of the
Lincoln community, friends, and colleagues relating to a variety of topics concerning Lincoln
University students, policy, administration, surrounding community, and other affairs.
The faculty (IV:84-96),and trustees (IV:14&-177) papers consist primarily of correspondence
between Bond and these members of the university. Among many subjects.discussed are Bond's
management of Lincoln affairs, faculty, representation on the board of trustees, faculty hiring and
firing, anti-Semitism at Lincoln, admissions, and other policies.
Cprrespondence with Austin Scott (IV:99-108), Lincoln's business manager, details the financial affairs of the institution. Scott's communications deal with building maintenance, salaries,
tuition, student activities, and numerpus other budgetary concerns.
One of Bond's major activities at Lincoln was providing encouragement, frequently in the form
of university financial support, to African students interested in studying in the United States. The
African Academy of Arts and Sciences was a prime intermediary in the placement of African students
52
Part3
at Lincoln University. Hundreds of letters (IV:46-60) from the Academy, prospective students,
Lincoln students, and grateful alumni are included in the Lincoln University files.
The general alumni file (IV:62-66) includes correspondence and printed material pertaining to
Lincoln alumni association meetings, elections, fund-raising, and other activities. Correspondence
of a more personal nature regarding alumni affairs appears in the U.K. Wells file (IV:67-68). Part
of Wells' correspondence pertains to the inclusion of Lincoln University in a movie he was producing
on black achievements. A study by alumni historian Donald Wyatt (IV:69-70) outlines the possible
decline of Lincoln in 1956 and future prospects for enrollment.
Material concerning Bond's resignation from Lincoln University (IV:131-145) consists primarily
of congratulatory messages from friends and professional associates and Bond's job-hunting
correspondence. The financial arrangements made by the university upon Bond's departure were
the cause of litigation between Bond and the university for several years. Correspondence,
particularly with trustee Lewis Stevens, outlines Bond's efforts to maintain certain benefits.
Lincoln students' scores on various aptitude tests (IV:139-148) appear to have been collected
by Bond for research purposes. Included in these files are correspondence regarding the administration of tests and percentiles, along with test score comparisons and other data. None of the
information is individually identified by student name; identified scores are located in Series X,
Restricted Material.
The Oxford (PA) files (IV:124-126) describe Bond's community involvement. He was a
candidate for school board in 1947 and was one of several men who filed suit against the town
regarding segregation in the elementary schools. Bond was also a strong supporter of the Lincoln
students and others who participated in civil rights demonstrations in Oxford in 1950.
Horace Bond began research and writing of the history of Lincoln University in 1947 as a project
to help celebrate the university's 1954 centennial. He continued gathering material and writing for
it into the mid-1960s. While the history ofthat institution provided the controlling idea forthe lengthy
work, Bond also described it by more general designations such as genealogy of ideas, a history
of humanistic education, a treatment of the historical merging of Calvinistic and Scotch educational
traditions, and a cultural and social history of southeast Pennsylvania.
The Lincoln University history files consist of correspondence, outlines, chapter drafts, and
research materials.
General correspondence (IV:178-181 ) consists of letters relating primarily to Bond's search for
new and/or substantiating information forthe history. Bond's letters frequently included anecdotes
and detailed accounts of newly discovered historical information and relationships. Major correspondents include Pauli Murray, Rev. George Johnson, Edith Holden, and Walter G. Alexander.
Correspondence in the late 1960s refers especially to attempts to publish the book.
Thedrafts forchapters (I V:184a-184cc) are arranged as nearly as possible intheorderthat Bond
imposed on the chapters in his later outlines. For a list of chapter titles, see Appendix 2.
History research materials (IV:187-215) are divided into alphabetically arranged subject
catégories. Within these categories, materials are arranged chronologically according to theearliest
date of historical reference. Dates indicated in the reel index refer to the time span of the subject
matter; the dates of origin of the materials themselves are indicated in brackets.
Research materials include correspondence, minutes, chronological tables of different types of
information, biographical sketches, notes, and newspaper clippings. Some research materials are
primary sources; most are copies. Several of the research materials files are described below.
The research materials administration file (IV:187-189) contains materials relating to Lincoln
University policy and to administrators such as presidents Isaac Norton Rendall, Willliam Hallock
Johnson, and Walter Livingstone Wright, and board member Howard McClenahan. The bulk of the
material documents the conflict that occurred between 1925 and 1932 over the issue of Lincoln's
exclusion of black faculty and board members, and with the overlapping "Reinke controversy" of
1926. (Forthe latter see also IV:202-203.)
Papers in the alumni general file (IV:190-192) include correspondence, alumni bulletins and
otherprinted material, lists of names for United States and African alumni, newspaperclippings, and
53
Part3
biographical information. The latter includes questionnaires completed in 1915 and 1916 for the
creation of an alumni catalog. Respondents included Archibald and Francis Grimke.
Alumni responses to a 1948 request by Bond for brief narratives of remembrances about people
and life at Lincoln University make up the bulk of the alumni reminiscences file (IV:196-197):
Intermittent classes from 1897 through 1905 are represented in the responses.
The research materials, Dickey-Cresson families file (IV:200-201) concerns the genealogy of
Lincoln University's founder, John Miller Dickey, and his wife Sarah Emlen Cresson. Most of the
materials relate to the education and history of the two families and the influences on Lincoln
University of the merging of Quaker and Presbyterian traditions as symbolized by the marriage of
Dickey and Cresson. Materials include correspondence, newspaper clippings, and genealogy
charts.
The research materials, faculty file (IV:202-203) consists mainly of lists and tables related to
faculty schedules and teaching loads and to curriculum. The file also includes copies of correspondence concerning 1926 faculty member Reinke's public criticism of student behavior, information
about faculty housing and committees, and committee reports.
The research materials, finances file (IV:204-205) includes state appropriations statements,
business organization and accounting reports, and a plea to the General Education Board for
building funds. The bulk of the file consists of tables prepared by Bond which compare expenditures
by years and by institutions primarily in the 1920s and 1930s.
Historical sketches (IV:206-207) are brief accounts written by persons otherthan Bond. These
sketches relate to black education issues and people involved with Lincoln University as well as with
Lincoln University specifically.
The bulk of the miscellaneous files materials (I V:208-210) deals with the nineteenth century and
early twentieth century history of Ashmun Institute/Lincoln University. Materials include correspondence, reports, resolutions and minutes, catalog excerpts, notes, sermons, and newspaper
clippings. Most relate to issues which were significant to the founding of the institution such as
slavery, emancipation, and black education. A few letters and notes refertothe Lincoln University
physical plant.
The Oxford filé (IV:211-212) contains miscellaneous materials which relate primarily to that
area's history of attitudes and involvement with slavery issues. Materials include maps annotated
from underground railroad stations, major historical events, and black population; correspondence,
newspapers (including one dated 1866) and newspaper clippings; nineteenth century population
figures; and names of black property owners.
Printing materials, newsletters, correspondence, and student writing having to do with Lincoln
University students and student activities make up the bulk of the research materials, students file
(IV:213). Also included are name lists, university degree requirements and regulations for behavior,
a copy of Längsten Hughes' "Three Students Look at Lincoln University," and a 1935 petition for
more black faculty.
Rev. Edward Webb was financial director for Lincoln University from 1873 to 1898. The research
materials, Rev. Edward Webb file (l\/:214-215) consists almost entirely of cprrespondence between
Webb and graduates and benefactors of the institution, and of excerpts from his 1882 diary kept
during his trip through the post-reconstruction South.
ATLANTA UNIVERSITY
In 1958 Bond began work as dean of the Atlanta University School of Education in Atlanta,
Georgia. He became director of the Atlanta University Bureau for Education and Social Research
in 1966.
The Atlanta University files consist primarily of overtwo hundred genealogy charts and narrative
accounts of black family history produced by Horace Bond's students (l\/:262a-262i). Bond's
assignment stressed the recording of educational and occupational information. The narratives
range from brief descriptions of a single generation to reports on ancestors in slavery.
54
Parts
Other material relating to Atlanta University is generally less substantive in content than other
institutional files. Correspondence (IV-.222-228) deals mostly with the administrative functions of
Bond's positions•^teaching assignments, requests for leaves of absence, student recommendations, and other details.
Bond's interest in teacher education is documented in several files in the Atlanta University
section. The National Teacher Examination material (IV:239-243) consists primarily of examination
registration forms and information booklets. Bond's efforts to define and promote the university's
teacher education program are described in correspondence and printed material regarding the
program (IV:271-274) and in correspondence with the Georgia State Department of Education
(IV:234).
Other files of some interest include proposals presented to the Research Committee headed by
Bond (IV:247-253), information regarding the development of a doctoral studies program at the
School of Education (IV:229-230), and correspondence dealing with African visitors to the university
(IV:218).

SERIES DESCRIPTIONS
Series V
Research Files, 1910-1971
Series V contains correspondence, data, proposals, and reports concerning many of Horace
Mann Bond's research projects. The bulk of the material relates to work during the 1950s and 1960s.
Materials are divided into four sections: general, black doctorates study, institutional studies, and
testing. Much of the data within files is undated and appears in the form of charts that compare
regions, years, institutions, individuals, and other factors. These materials are placed at the end of
a file with the most complete form of information appearing first.
The general section of the series contains a variety of research topics arranged alphabetically
by title or subject. These topics deal with research pursued as early as 1926; data pertain to years
as early as 1855.
Many of Bond's studies emphasized social, economic, and geographic influences on educational achievement, especially by black students. The Atlanta school survey (Series V:Folders 2-4),
the national merit scholarships file ( V:12-15), and the school expenditures, congressmen file ( V:24)
demonstrate that approach to educational research;v
The Atlanta school survey (y:2-4) represents Bond's 1957-1962 study of and reactions to an
Educational Testing Service analysis titled Learning and Teaching in Atlanta Public Schools for
1955-1956, and to Atlanta's school desegregation plan in the 1960s. Bond undertook a critical
analysis of the report's standardized test score data to demonstrate the effects of demographic
trends in the city on test-measured student "achievement." Included are Bond's notes and analyses
of test scores, housing-population statistics, socio-economic residence patterns in the city, short
articles and an open letter to Atlanta students, and miscellaneous related materials.
The national merit scholarships file (V:12-15) contains correspondence, research data, and
other papers regarding Bond's investigations into the occupational and geographic distribution of
national merit scholarship certificate winners and his responses to the United States Senate
proposal for the federal funding of such scholarships. The scholarships were to be distributed
according to state population figures and grantedon the basis of standardized achievement test
scores. Bond proposed that the distribution system excluded from the competition those students
from poor educational and economic backgroundsJnîportant writings relating to this work are The
Search for Talent (Vl:45) and "Talent•And Toilets" (Vl:25).
The school expenditures, congressmen file (V:24) consists primarily of charts and graphs that
show the per capita income, tax figures, and school expenditures by county during the periods of
public school education of southern white and black congressmen. Correspondence discusses the
educational advantages future white congressmen enjoyed as children, while black children were
receiving much smaller proportions of monies for school expenditures.
The Mississippi higher education survey (V:11) arid the Oklahoma studies file (V:16) include
survey-type research. In December of 1944 the newly instituted Board of Trustees of the Mississippi
I nstitutions of H igher Learning sought general information about the status of institutions in the state
toward improving their standards and financial support. Bond was involved as one of two consultants
to survey black institutions. The f ile.cqntains corresponcfénee, notes, and reports relevant to Bond's
work with the project. A letter written by Bond in 1964 explains the political point of view he took as
the only black involved in the project. '
77
Part 4
The Oklahoma studies file (V:16) contains materials relating to two research studies of black
education. The first project was a "Survey of Educational Facilities for Negroes in Oklahoma" carried
out by Bond in 1926-1927 under the direction of W.E.B. Du Bois. Materials for this study include
numerous photos of black schools in Oklahoma and a partial final report. The second project
included in this file involved the standardized testing of children in Langston, Oklahoma, in the
summer of 1927. This resulted in a November 1927 Crisis article, "Some Exceptional Negro
Children." The file also contains 1961-1962 correspondence regarding Bond's attempt to identify

The insanity in Chicago file (V:7) is one of several files in the general section of Series V which
handles non-school topics. The file includes two 1934 essays, "An Introduction to the Study of
Insanity among Negroes in Chicago," and "Ecological Study of Insanity in the Negro Community."
Other materials in the file include charts of types of psychiatric diagnoses with geographical, sex,
and other comparisons.
The proposals file (V:19) includes Bond's notes for potential research projects as well as actual
proposals. The file covers a broad range of topics including black patients in the Tennessee State
Hospital for the Insane (1934), adult education in selected European countries (1936), and
vocational education. Another wide-ranging topic represented in the general section of Series V is
the football study file (V:6). This file consists of charts, lists, and other papers regarding the National
Football League draft selections in 1962 and 1963. The general miscellaneous file (V:8-10) includes
note cards and miscellaneous genealogical, demographic, and test information.
The black doctorates study section of Series V consists of materials relating to Bond's formal
research of sociological and geographical factors which contribute to the development of black
scholars and professionals. The study became focused in 1958 through funding by the United States
Office of Education for "A Study of Factors Involved in the Identification and Encouragement of
Unusual Academic Talent among Underprivileged Populations." Elements of the study's conceptualization had appeared periodically in Bond's writings and converged in research leading to his 1957
Harvard University Inglis lecture, "The Search for Talent." The study included a survey which
gathered data about the educational, familial, and geographic backgrounds of over 500 black
academic and medical doctorates. The report was published through the Office of Education in 1967
and, minimally revised, through a commercial publisher as Black American Scholars in 1972.
Data relating to the identification of black doctorates (V:33), their educational backgrounds
(V:34-35), occupational backgrounds (V:36), and birthplaces (V:37-38) appear after the final
report. These data consist mainly of undated tables. Where Bond has divided the background data
by generation, information about the parents and grandparents of the black doctor appears before
that. Of special interest are materials about black doctorates with limited parental education background (V:35).
Historical data (V:39) contains chronologically arranged correspondence, followed by undated
tables recording nineteenth century information including free/slave status, class status, and
proportions of literate to illiterate blacks.
Bond made extensive inquiries into the history of several specific families included in the black
doctorates study. Related correspondence and genealogical data appears in files for each family
(V:40-46). Date correspondence within each file is arranged chronologically; materials such as
genealogy charts, lists of names, and reproductions of nineteenth century documents are arranged
with the most complete genealogies appearing before less complete or supplementary information.
The Dibble-Cleveland file (V:46) contains newspapers from 1830,1839, and 1850.
Bond proposed several follow-up studies to the black doctorates project. A black Americans
biographical index (V:47) was intended to create a permanent index at Atlanta University of
prominent blacks for use as a resource for future researchers, especially those involved with the five
predominantly black colleges of Atlanta. The file for another follow-up study, black family institute
(V:48), contains correspondence, tentative budgets, and proposals relating to the development of
a library-depository, a teaching institute, and research activities related to the black family.
The institutional studies section of Series V contains correspondence, proposals, reports, data
charts, and other papers documenting Bond's research into various aspects of particular educa78
Part 4
tional institutions. Individual files ¡nthis section are arranged alphabetically by title or subject of each
study. Most represent work done in the early 1960s.
;
The African students survey (V:50-61) is an extensive historical study of African Students in
predominantly black colleges in the United States. Bond proposed and directed the project, which
was sponsored by the United Negro College Fund and the Phelps-Stoke Fund. Research conducted
by individual institutions yielded information including names of African students, their nations of
origin, and their years of enrollment in the institutions attended. Purposes of the study included
analyzing functional attitudes related to Africans in United States black institutions, especially in the
South; determining ways to increase recruitment and to facilitate adequate financing for African
attendance; and evaluating the usefulness of United States programs for African students.
Material in the general file for this survey (V:50-52) includes correspondence, proposals,
outlines, notes, and tables indicating changing enrollment figures. Institutional reports in this file
(V:53-57) consist of answers to form inquiries, correspondence, notes, and charts arranged
alphabetically by institution name. Writings (V:5&-59) emanating from the study include drafts for
Bond's sixty-one-page typescript, "The African Student in the Negro College." Index cards listing
names and years of enrollment for individual students conclude the file.
In 1962, Bond undertook a brief survey for the Association of College and Secondary Schools
to determine the number of black college faculty members holding terminal academic degrees. The
file for this black college faculty study ( V:62-63) consists of chronologically arranged form letters to
institutions used to gather data, notes, and a final report, followed by completed questionnaires
returned to Bond.
The black colleges study file (V:64-65) consists mainly of proposal drafts and notes prepared
in 1967 for a possible study of educational experience in predominantly black colleges. Other
material includes correspondence and a summary of the exploratory study.
As a part of his Lincoln University administrative involvement with the retention of students from
thetime of entering collegeto graduation, and his interest in the cyclical description of cultures, Bond
investigated the relationship between student persistence rates and business, economic, and
historical events. Persistence rates were determined by figuring the percentage of students
graduating as compared to the number of entering freshmen four years previous for each year that
Lincoln University, Gettysburg College, and Bowdoin College had graduating classes. The college
persistence rate study (V:66-67) graphs the cycles of male attendance at the three institutions from
the time of their nineteenth century foundings until 1957. The study relates these persistence rates
to national economic cycles over the same periods of time.
Bond investigated persistence rates in 1949 and again in the mid-1950s. The file contains
correspondence, tables, the superimposition of the percentage of students retained over Ayre's
"Economic Cycles" graph, notes, and a copy of Bond's paper "Historical and Socio-Economic
Factors in College Persistence Rates," presented to the American Research Association in 1962.
The institutional studies miscellaneous file (V:68) includes a 1927 paper, "The Enrollment of
Negro Students in the High Schools and Colleges of Some Northern States," figures of male
enrollment at Howard University in 1952 and 1954, annotated bibliographic cards of various
publications between 1948 and 1961 dealing mainly with academic achievement and economic
factors of college attendance, and undated charts giving enrollment figures at twenty-two southern
colleges.
The test score comparisons file (V:70-71 ) consists primarily of tables and statistical charts that
compare median standardized test scores by educational institution, by race, and by political and
geographic regions in the United States.
The testing section of Series V contains correspondence, data summaries, and other material
relating to Bond's investigations involving standardized tests and testing. Most of the files are copies
of various forms of standardized tests and of printed materials published by test manufacturers. Files
are arranged alphabetically by name of test or research project.
Study of the implications of Army classification tests for education and educational institutions
affected a number of Bond's research projects, especially the black doctorates study. Correspondence, a report, and data make up the Army tests study file (V:72).
79
Part 4
The California tests file (V:73-76) contains 1957, 1959, and 1962 standardized test forms,
miscellaneous manuals, scoring keys* and other printed material of the,California Test Bureau;
The Graduate Record Examination files (V:77-79) consist of miscellaneous tabulated scores for
Lincoln and Atlanta Universities, comparison tables of scores in major subject fields, andcorrespoh1•
dence and notes relating to characteristics of the examinations and Bond's observations about'
them; also included are printed materials such äsQ.R.E. bulletins, handbooks, and leaflets. The bulk*
of the file consists of Educational Testing Service printed material (V:78-79). . . %
Operation Close-Gap (V:81 -90) was a study to determinethe effect of filmstrip instruction on the
reading achievement levels of elementary school sttidents. The project was coordinated by the
Georgia state educational research committee, of which Bond was a member. In addition to'
recording the reading test scores for 10,000 Georgia children, information regarding parental
education and occupation and the education levels of teachers was noted. As a member of the
research committee, Bond was involved in a proposal to the Southeastern Education Corporation
to tabulate and establish relationships between reading achievement and this additional data.
Operation Close-Gap general file (V:8l-82) consists primarily of reports and proposals. The
data files (V:83-90) contain tabulations of test scores, educational and occupational data arranged
by grade level and school, and summaries of the information tabulated by grade level only. The
information sheets on which data for individual students was recorded are located in Series X,
Restricted Files, which was not filmed as part of this microfilm publication,
Series VI
Writings, 1926-1972
Series VI consists primarily of addresses, articles, books, book reviews, newspaper articles,
letters to editors, autobiographical sketches, and miscellaneous items written by Horace Mann
Bond, individual writings are arranged accordingto the eighttypes noted above, and chronologically
within those types by date of presentation, publication, or completion. Materials pertaining to a
particular work generally include the item in its most complete or published form, followed by any
available working papers•outlines, drafts, and research materials. Correspondence dealing with
the publication of a particular writing follows all other papers regarding the writing. Ina few cases,
papers relating to a writing occupy more than one folder. Although the majority of material written
by Horace Bond is located in this series, other items such as research reports and Lincoln University
histories appear elsewhere in the collection. Appendix 3 provides a complete list of writings in the
collection, with exact locations other than Series VI noted.
Although several of the addresses appear only in outline form, the whole is a fairly complete
representation of Bond's speaking career. Topics include race relations and the status of blacks in
America, political movements in Africa, Afro-American relations, the history of black higher,
education, and sociological factors influencing academic talent. The addresses range in time from
a 1935 speech given in Bogalusa, Louisiana (Series VI, Folder 1 ), to a presentation in Pensacola,
Florida, on 11 May 1969 (Vl:16). The majority of the addresses, however, fail into the period 1945
to 1963, covering in particular Bond's years as Lincoln University president. Correspondence
regarding Bond's appearances before educational institutions and organizations, community
groups,.churçh congregations, alumni associations, and other audiences is located inthe "Engagements" file in Series III, which was not filmed for this microfilm publication.
,. The articles in Series VI include formal papers presented at professional meetings, as well as
numerous other published and unpublished manuscripts. The topics dealt with are similar to those
represented in Bond's addresses, with a greater concentration on the history of black higher
education. The earliest dated article in the series appears in the October 1927 issue of The Crisis
magazine underthetitle MSome Exceptional Negro Children" (Vl:.17). Bond's extensive 1969 rebuttal
(VI-.35-37) of a paper written by Christopher Jencks and Davicl Riésman on the American, black
college is the final dated article in the series:
80
Part 4
Also included in the articles file is a reprint of 'The Influence of Personalities on the Public
Education of Negroes in Alabama, I" (Vl:19), the first of a two-part article published in 1937 and
based on Bond's Ph.D. thesis work. Among several articles regarding Africa is "Reflections,
Comparative, on West African Nationalist Movements" (Vl:23), a paper presented by Bond at the
First Congress of Black Writers, Scholars and Artists in 1956 in Paris.
Copies of books written by Horace Bond and related correspondence make up the books file of
Series VI. These publications are concerned mainly with the history of black education and the
origins of academic talent. Correspondence referring to the 1934 publication of Bond's first book,
The Education of the Negro in the American Social Order( VI :39-42), consists primarily of the letters
of Bond and the Prentice-Hall Company discussing market potential and advertising. In 1939 Bond's
Ph.D. thesis was published as Negro Education in Alabama: A Study in Cotton and Steel{M\ :43-44);
it was reprinted in 1969. These published versions, in addition to some miscellaneous research
notes, are the only material in the collection pertaining to the thesis. While at Fort Valley State
College, Bond compiled Education for Production: A Textbook on How to Be Healthy, Wealthy and
Wise (Vl:45). The book stresses the need for increased food production in low-income areas, and
explains profitable food production programs. (Folders 40, 43, and 45 were not filmed for this
microform publication.)
The Search for Talent (Vl:46), the book form of Bond's Inglis lecture at Harvard University, was
issued by that university in 1959. A typed manuscript of the 1957 address follows the book in the
file. Both the 1967 United States Office of Education publication (Vl:47) (not filmed) and the 1972
commercially published report ( VI :48) of Bond's black doctorates study also appear in the books file.
Relevant research materials for these books are in Series V, filmed immediately preceding this
series. The posthumously published Education for Freedom: A History of Lincoln University,
Pennsylvania is located with related university history materials in Series IV, filmed in Part 3 oí this
microform publication.
Horace Bond's book reviews (VI :49-50) date primarily from the late 1950s, with subjects ranging
from the General Education Board to blacks in medicine.
In the early 1930s Bond was employed as a writer for the Associated Negro Press (ANP). The
articles he produced, primarily on educational topics, appear in both manuscript and printed form
and make up the bulk of the newspaper articles file (Vl:51). Correspondence with ANP Director
Claude Barnett is in lll:94, found in Part2of this microform publication.
Bond was also a frequent contributor to newspaper "Letters to the Editor " columns. Many of his
letters (VI:52-54) deal with the misrepresentation of blacks in newspaper reporting and the inferior
treatment extended to blacks by both government and private concerns.
The autobiographical sketches (VI :55) are among the most personal writing in the collection. The
sketches concentrate mainly on the teaching Bond received as a child from his grandmother and
aunt. A segment written around 1932 titled "Notes on Myself by Myself" covers his activities in more
detail up to that date. Included in the one folder of sketches are several autobiographical notes in
résumé form.
The miscellaneous writings (VI :56-58) consist of radio scripts, poems, a play (of which Bond was
probably author), and a few short character sketches from the early 1930s.
Series VI also contains bibliographies of his writings prepared by Bond (Vl:59), and general
correspondence with publishers (Vl:60-61 ) pertaining to proposed writings and writings for which
no papers other than correspondence exist.

APPENDIX 4
The following appendix contains descriptions of Series VII through XI, which are not included in this microfilm
project. (Descriptions of Series I through VI precede the applicable reel indexes in which those series appear.)
SERIES VII•PHOTOGRAPHS AND FILM, 1913-1979
Boxes 180•182
Series VII is divided into six sections: Africa, Dillard University, Fort Valley State College, Lincoln
University, the Rosenwald Fund Survey, and miscellaneous material. Within each section, files are
arranged in two chronological sequences: those containing photographs in which Horace Bond or
his family appear, and those containing photographs in which he is not pictured. Each photograph
is identified on the back by series and folder number along with any available information on the
content of the photograph. The number of Items in each folder appears in parentheses following the
folder title in the container listing and on the folder. Cross reference sheets indicating the location
of relevant photographs in series VII have been placed in related files throughout the collection.
The first section of the series includes photographs taken by Horace Bond and others in Africa,
as well as photographs of African-related events and subjects, such as KwameNkrumah(VII:7,13),
a United Nations conference (VII :4), and an American Society for African Culture meeting (VI 1:25).
Contained in this section areseveral photographs of the International African-American Corporation's
mining operations in Liberia (VII:20-23) and numerous picture postcards (VII:14, 29), presumably
collected by Bond during a trip to the continent.
Three sections of Series VII represent educational institutions with which Bond was affiliated.
Photographs relating to Fort Valley State College consist primarily of those depicting a visit to the
.college by Governor Herman Eugene Talmadge, an advocate of racially separate schools
(VII:32-33). Lincoln University photographs include several of African students (Vll:36,37,41), as
well as a few collected by Bond during the preparation of the Lincoln University history (Vll:40,
42^7).
The Rosenwald Fund survey photographs consist of those taken during Bond's travels in North
Carolina, Louisiana, and Alabama for the Fund from 1929 to 1931. Nearly one hundred black rural
school buildings are pictured in print or, in most cases, negative form. In several Instances, students
appear in the photograph. The geographical location of each building has been noted by Bond on
the prints; however, none of the negatives are identified as to location.
The miscellaneous section consists primarily of photographs of Bond at various meetings and
conferences. Also included are numerous single ¡mages of Bond for publicity, passport, and other
purposes (VII:65-67). Of interest are photographs of Julia and Julian Bond taken during the
dedication of the Horace Mann Bond Center for Equal Education at the University of Massachusetts
at Amherst on 22 October 1979. On that day the official announcement of the acquisition of the Bond
Papers by the University was made.
Part of Bond's first trip to Africa in 1949, his visit to Lagos, Nigeria, was filmed by the Nigerian
government under the title "An African Comes Home," a 12-minute silent black-and-white film with
captions. Folder 73 contains a 3/4" videotape copy; the original remains in the possession of the
Bond family..
117
Part 4
SERIES VIH•PRINTED MATERIAL, 1912-1971
Boxes 183-186
Series VIM consists of printed material for which no relevant subject files exist elsewhere in the
collection. The series is divided into five sections: monographs, journals, newletters, publishers'
catalogs, and miscellaneous material. Monographs, several of which are reprints of articles sent to
Bond by friends and colleagues, are arranged alphabetically by author. Journals and newletters are
arranged alphabetically by title. Publishers' catalogs and miscellaneous printed items are arranged
chronologically by date of issue. Most of the material in this series deals with the theory and practice
of education, although items such as the Journal of the National Medical Association, the Vietnam
Bulletin, and literary criticism written by W. Farrison are also included.
SERIES IX•OVERSIZE MATERIAL, 1931-1971
Boxes 187-188
Series IX consists primarily of single issues of newspapers, arranged chronologically. Most of
the newspapers are African publications, originating in Ghana and Nigeria. The political career of
Kwame Nkrumah is reported in many of these papers, including the Evening News which was
founded by Nkrumah. Several United States publications are also represented, as in a Philadelphia
Tr/öunesupplement(13 Feb 1954) commemorating the Lincoln University centennial. Also included
are 1930s issues of The Union, a Cincinnati-based newspaper which published articles written by
Bond and other Associated Negro Press (ANP) jounalists.
Other oversize material includes undated Atlanta University students' genealogies for which
copies could not be made. Cross-reference sheets indicating the existence of the genealogies
appear in folders labeled with the appropriate family names in Series IV.
SERIES X•RESTRICTED MATERIAL, 1920-1966
Soxes 18&-195
Series X consists of individually identified student test scores and other material which, for
reasons of confidentiality, have been restricted. Requests for access to restricted materials should
be addressed to the University of Massachusetts archivist.
The series is divided into two main sections: files relating to the institutions represented in Series
IV and files pertaining to the research projects documented in Series V. The institutional files consist
primarily of Lincoln University students' scores on various tests (X:2-8), arranged by type of
examination and year administered. Also included in this section are computer cards gathered by
Bond while at Atlanta University. Research-related files include computer cards relating to the black
doctorates study (X:18) and scores from several tests (X:13-16), especially those used in Operation
Close-Gap (X:17). The Operation Close-Gap files also contain information regarding the education
and occupation of the parents of each student involved in the project. Summaries of the Operation
Close-Gap results, not identified by individual student, appear in Series V.
SERIES XI•ORIGINALS OF COPIED MATERIAL
Boxes 196-202
Series XI contains the original copies of materials that have been copied onto acid-free 81/2" x
11 " paper for preservation and to facilitate use of very large oversize materials. The copies are
located in normal series order in Series I, III, IV, V, and VI, while the originals have been grouped
in Series XI for reference when the copies are not adequate for research.
Newspaper clippings by and about Dr. Bond and on subjects of interest to him are the most
numerous items that have been copied. There are also a number of typed materials of Horace
Bond's brother, James Palmer Bond, on impermanent paper.
118
Part 4
One of the most interesting parts of this series is the family histories prepared by Dr. Bond's
students at Atlanta University. In order to include family trees as extensive as the students could
verify, the histories have been prepared on very large, in some cases huge, sheets of paper and in
colorful format. The information contained is available in the copies in Series IV. Although the
originals are so large that most of them have been folded many times to fit into a 20-inch manuscript
box, and consequently they are subject to rapid destruction by use that requires unfolding, the
originals of the histories have been kept to provide an idea of the nature of the work that went into
creating them.
