Norman Jolliffe, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Origins of the Modern Alcoholism Movement:
Ron Roizen
Archival sources shed new light on and offer a fuller picture of the story of Norman Jolliffe's early, but finally unsuccessful, effort to interest the Rockefeller Foundation's Division of Medical Sciences in funding a comprehensive program of alcoholism research in the late 1930s. New documentation also casts doubt on Mark Keller's contention that the Research Council on Problems of Alcohol--the organizational flagship of the new scientific approach to alcohol-related problems in this period--emerged directly from Jolliffe's failed Rockefeller Foundation request.
