    801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 www.DCHistory.org SPECIAL COLLECTIONS FINDING AID Title: MS 0846, Clarence Hewes Scrapbook Collection, 1906-1962 Processor: David G. Wood Processed Date: April 2016 [Finding Aid last updated April 12, 2016] Clarence Bussey Hewes was born in Jeanerette, Louisiana, on February 1, 1890, to Harry Bartram and Nellie Bussey Hewes. The family also included Clarence’s two sisters, Amy (later Mrs. Robert Edmund Floweree) and Florence (later Mrs. Arthur Breese Griswold). Harry Hewes, a native of Texas, had come to Louisiana in the 1880s and made a fortune developing the local lumber industry. According to articles found in the scrapbooks, the Hewes were descended from a North Carolina family that included Joseph Hewes of Edenton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence who organized the first American naval force. Hewes attended the Dixon Academy in Covington, Louisiana; the University of Virginia (LL.B., 1914); and Tulane University (Bachelor of Laws in Civil Law, 1915). He came to Washington, D.C., in 1916, and in 1917-1918 served as private secretary to the Honorable Charles C. McChord, one of the commissioners heading the Interstate Commerce Commission. On February 10, 1919, he began a career at the Department of State, assigned as Third Secretary at the U.S. Legation in Panama. He then served at the U.S. embassies or legations in the Netherlands (1920-1922), and Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala (1922-1924), before being assigned as First Secretary at the embassy in Peking, China. He remained in China until 1930 when he was designated First Secretary at the embassy in Berlin, Germany.

  • A Bio-Bibliography of Caryl Parker Haskins
    A Bio-Bibliography of Caryl Parker Haskins A Bio-Bibliography of Caryl Parker Haskins Compiled and Edited by Alice B. Dadourian Caryl Parker Haskins In the field of observation, chance favors only the prepared minds. —Louis Pasteur Foreword Some time ago, I received a very nice letter from a young man who had been bookstore browsing with his elementary school-aged son, and rediscovered a copy of Caryl Haskins’s Of Ants and Men. “I know the author!” the young man had said excitedly to his son. As an undergraduate, the young man had been a most admiring devotee of Dr. Haskins. The two had exchanged several let- ters in a correspondence prompted by the young man’s fascination with ants. He was now writing to express his gratitude for Dr. Haskins taking the time to respond to the questions of a “lowly” (in his words) undergraduate. As Special Assistant to Caryl and Edna Haskins for the past six years, I have received countless requests for reprints of their articles and books, and transcribed for Dr. Caryl Haskins, just as many responses to inquiring students. Dr. Haskins has published five books and some 230 articles, much of the work on ants, co-authored with Dr. Edna Haskins. It occurred to me that a Bio- Bibliography would be of interest to many people. I sat down with Dr. Haskins in 1993 and started compiling the bibli- ography. He was most accommodating and rewarded me often with anecdotes about how he met and subsequently married Edna; about his and Franklin Cooper’s founding of the Haskins Laboratories; and the joint ant research for which he and Edna Haskins are especially known.
