Scope and Contents

The "Letters of Tribute" bond folder of folder 1 contains personal letters of tribute sent soon after Barker's untimely death in May 1958. Of particular interest is the letter sent to LDS Church President David O. McKay by Dr. Rene' Belle', Chairman of University of Southern California's Department of French. The other two bond folders contain dated and undated "Statements of Recommendation" from 1925 to 1940. Most of the statements were sent to Barker in response to his request for a critical review of a new text entitled, "English Pronunciation-Part 1, Our Language."
