Scope and content
Marion Milner spent two years in America, 1927 to 1929. She had become interested in the work of Elton Mayo and managed to secure a Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial scholarship to spend the Winter of 1927/1928 attending Mayo's seminars in Boston. During the rest of her 2 year scholarship, she observed Mayo's work on the Hawthorne experiment in Chicago and travelled to various places across the country. She was accompanied by her husband, Dennis Milner, who was writing plays at the time.
