{"value"=>"<p>Most of the correspondence in this series deals with his appointment and tenure at the University College of Ghana, and with later efforts to secure financial assistance for West African students in the United States. The correspondence also includes letters to and from Kofi Busia, the man Drake replaced as head of the Sociology Department when he became a leader of the opposition. Included are diaries and notes dating from 1954 and 1959. Drake's anthropological writings in this section are listed by title and are mostly unpublished. His office files at the Department of Sociology fall broadly into the following categories: sociological surveys of student life, family background and career orientation; student papers, examinations and curriculum material; research projects related to Ghana; an outline for a Ph. D. program, and Drake's recommendations for the growth of a modern university in Ghana.</p>"}
