Researcher darrel-ga:  I am particularly interested in the period of 
Hanawalt's life that spans 1954 thru 1983.

L.L. Hanawalt was b.1-18-1898 Delaware Ohio // d. 5-26-1983 in Detroit.
AB and AM  from Oberlin, PhD from Uof Michigan. To professorship at 
Wayne State U in Detroit. 1929. English Dept. was his last position. 
Chair of History of Wayne Project 1956 to 1968.
Last known address:  201 E. Kerby, Apt. 104, Detroit, MI.
Dorothy Miles Hanawalt, listed in WSU retirees directory (?? his wife), 
lives in Traverse City.  
Authored A Pace of Light: A history of  Wayne State U. Hanawalt 
published very little throughout his career, and otherwise accomplished 
very little. 
 > He is listed in Directory of American Scholars. 6th, 7th, and 8th 
Editions.
 > Three reviews of the WSU History, that I have been able to find, are 
all negative.
        No Auth: in Choice, v5, June 1968, 536.
        G.W. Chessman, Jnl of Am. Hist., v55:1, 1968, 159.
        I've misplaced the 3rd, which was the most severely critical. 
 > The WSU History is listed in Am Council of Education's latest edition 
of Univerisities & Colleges, for Wayne State.

A colleague from Oberlin, Clarence Hilberry, came to English Dept. WSU 
in 1930. He became chairman of the dept. When Hilberry became Prexy of 
the U., Hanawalt took the Chairmanship.
 
Re: Number of sources -- I'm new to this, thus, as many sources as I 
 can get.  I hope to have more questions for you, when I receive your 
findings. Thank you.
