﻿REPORT 
  OF 
  THE 
  SECRETARY 
  

  

  81 
  

  

  There 
  were 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  promotions 
  and 
  reassignments 
  to 
  duties 
  

   among 
  the 
  staff. 
  Miss 
  Anna 
  Moo™ 
  Link 
  was 
  given 
  charge 
  of 
  the 
  

   National 
  Collection 
  of 
  Fine 
  Arts 
  library 
  and 
  Miss 
  Elizabeth 
  G. 
  Mose- 
  

   ley 
  was 
  promoted 
  to 
  Miss 
  Link's 
  former 
  position 
  in 
  charge 
  of 
  the 
  

   serial 
  collections 
  in 
  the 
  Museum 
  library 
  ; 
  Mrs. 
  Hope 
  H. 
  Simmons 
  was 
  

   promoted 
  to 
  be 
  assistant 
  librarian 
  in 
  charge 
  of 
  accessions 
  and 
  Miss 
  

   Marjorie 
  K. 
  Kunze 
  was 
  promoted 
  to 
  be 
  chief 
  assistant 
  in 
  the 
  accessions 
  

   division. 
  

  

  The 
  loss 
  of 
  one 
  position 
  and 
  the 
  time 
  lag 
  in 
  filling 
  other 
  vacancies 
  

   have 
  been 
  serious 
  obstacles 
  in 
  the 
  way 
  of 
  keeping 
  work 
  up 
  to 
  date. 
  The 
  

   fine 
  spirit 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  staff 
  in 
  meeting 
  emergencies, 
  in 
  taking 
  on 
  extra 
  

   work, 
  and 
  in 
  accepting 
  temporary 
  assignments 
  to 
  new 
  or 
  unaccustomed 
  

   duties 
  is 
  much 
  to 
  be 
  commended.
