From the Series:

This series contains information on recipients of fellowships established by the CRF. A permanent fellowship established by the Conservation and Research Foundation in 1969 was The Jeanette Siron Pelton Award. This award honored the memory of Jeanette Siron Pelton, an inspiring teacher who served in the Botany Department at Butler University. The award carried a stipend of $1,000 and recognized sustained and creative contributions to the field of experimental plant morphology. Candidates were selected by a special committee of the Botanical Society of America (BSA), and the names were submitted to the Foundation for final approval. The award was made at the annual meeting of the BSA. The Pelton Award is made irregularly based on availability of funds and an appropriate candidate. The folders include correspondence with recipients.
