APPENDIX 2 



REPORT ON THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART 



Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report on the activi- 

 ties of the National GaUery of Art for the fiscal year ending June 30, 

 1934. 



Owing to the fact that the Gellatly collection occupies such a 

 large part of the Gallery, it was necessary to restrict the special 

 exhibitions. One of miniatures was held in the Gallery proper, and 

 two, which required wall space, were shown in the foyer through the 

 courtesy of the National Museum. 



APPROPRIATIONS 



For the administration of the National Gallery of Art by the 

 Smithsonian Institution, including compensation of necessary em- 

 ployees, purchase of books of reference and periodicals, traveling 

 expenses, uniforms for guards, and necessary incidental expenses, 



$29,500.

The thirteenth annual meeting of the National Gallery of Art 

 Commission was held at the Smithsonian Institution on December 12, 

 1933. The members present were Dr. Charles G. Abbot, Secretary

 the secretary of the Commission; Herbert Adams; Charles L. Borie, 

 Jr.; Joseph H. Gest, chairman; Frederick P. Keppel, John E. Lodge, 

 Frank Jewett Mather, Jr., and Edward W. Redfield. Ruel P. 

 Tolman, curator of the division of graphic arts, and acting director 

 of the National Gallery of Art, was also present.
