BOX 73-98	William C. McNeill, 1868-1964
		The William C. McNeill series covers mainly his career as a physician and his tenure with the Howard University College of Medicine. The series is comprised of six groupings: appointment books and calendars, correspondence, financial and legal papers, Howard University College of Medicine file, speeches and writings file, and subject file. The appointment books and calendars document chiefly Williams’s professional life but also include personal engagements. The bulk of the correspondence is from William’s wife, Mary, prior to their marriage in 1910. The letters reflect their growing relationship and include news of her family and friends, descriptions of her travels, and mentions of her activities as a teacher at the Institute for Colored Youth in Cheyney, Pennsylvania. Other family correspondents are William’s sons, Robert and William Jr. Robert’s letters highlight his service in World War II referencing his activities and application to Officer Candidate School. William Jr.’s letters discuss his work and contain news about his family while employed as an engineer in Liberia and Afghanistan from the mid-1950s through 1964. Another prolific correspondent is C. B. (Charles Burleigh) Purvis, a physician, educator, and one of the founders of the medical school at Howard University. Consisting chiefly of Purvis’s incoming letters, the correspondence relates mainly to matters about the College of Medicine. The largest group of files in the William C. McNeill series cover his affiliation with the Howard University College of Medicine. These files relate mainly to his duties as secretary-treasurer from 1908 to 1921. His fundraising efforts assisted the college in raising the capital necessary for it to meet the standards required by the Association of American Medical Colleges. As part of his responsibilities with the university, William attended many board and faculty meetings where he often took notes or was sent minutes of meetings that are featured in the College of Medicine files. The speeches and writings file also focuses for the most part on the medical school. The majority of these files consist of book drafts and research material relating to William’s efforts to write a history of the College of Medicine. The drafts also include biographical material about William’s early life and the circumstances that led to him becoming a physician. A number of the subject files relate to William’s medical practice. These files include correspondence, reports, and notes about patients, a prescription record, memorabilia, and printed matter and ephemera. Other subject files document William’s association with the Chi Delta Mu fraternity and the Sigma Pi Phi fraternity. He served as faculty sponsor for Chi Delta Mu (medical, dental and pharmaceutical fraternity) and was a member of its local graduate chapter. William was also a founding member and leader of Epsilon Boule of the Sigma Pi Phi fraternity, a fraternity established for professionals. Material types include correspondence, appointment books and calendars, medical files, minutes of meetings, lectures, an article, book drafts and research material, notebooks and notes, newsletters, reports, memorabilia, programs, estate papers, purchase orders, bank books, check registers, receipts, lists, newspaper clippings, printed matter, and other papers.
