Drawing on statistics from the archives of the Luella Hannan Memorial Home, including the number of applications filed between 1927 and 1933, the gender, race, marital status and educational backgrounds of the applicants, the number of cases denied and accepted, and the reasons for these decisions, the authors characterize the “Hannan-type” as one who met the discursive, cultural, and organizational expectations of the sponsoring institution.
