                        Initial Inventory

Abstract:
       Charles Horace Hamilton, rural sociologist with particular
   interests in rural life, the rural church, the rural family,
   rural health issues, the land tenure system, farm labor,
   internal migration, methods of population analysis, and social
   statistics.  After teaching at many institutions, including
   Lon Morris College, the University of North Carolina, and
   Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Hamilton was appointed
   professor of rural sociology at North Carolina State
   University and consulted widely in his field.
       Files chiefly containing Hamilton's professional and
   personal correspondence.  Personal correspondence includes a
   number of letters from family members.  Most of the papers
   cover Hamilton's years at Lon Morris College, UNC, VPI, and
   NCSU, and treat topics such as rural sociology, farm tenancy
   interracial cooperation, and African-American education. 
   Correspondence provides insights into the interracial
   cooperation movement in Texas and the study of social science
   at UNC in the 1920s and 1930s.  Correspondents include George
   Collins of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Rupert Vance, and
   Howard Odum.  There are also a few items relating to Jesse
