Description
This series of items details the creation and use of the Thelma V. Owen Memorial Fund. Dr. Thelma V. Owen, a mental health pioneer, was the original establisher of Owen Clinic in 1945, and other organizations, such as the West Virginia Mental Health Society. A newspaper clipping from The Advertiser on May 18, 1977, announced the creation of the fund at Marshall University with an initial gift of $5,583.45. The digitized items include receipts and records of the donations. The money would primarily be used for neuropsychiatry lecture sponsorships. Included here are three of those lecture pamphlets with biographical information on the featured speakers. In addition to creating the fund, the Owen Clinic Institute also released a memo about the fund that included a short biographical sketch on Dr. Owen and her legacy.
