Washington Acadei^y had The three men 
whose names were presen-^^^’ef^ejT E. Graf, N. M. Judd, 
and Austin Clark. Curiously enough, even though Austin 
Clark was on the Nominating Committee and present, he 
received the lowest niomher of votes and therefore his 
name will be presented for the election by the members, 
I will tell you about the various details leading up to 
this when you get back. I think you will be interested. 
Most of o\ir efforts for the past couple of 
weeks have been devoted to the preparation of labels 
for the two alcove exhibits in the Smithsonian hall. 
The Exhibition Committee has been meeting two afternoons 
a week in order to get these lined up so that the 
printer will not be flooded at the last minute. 
As you probably realize, the two candidates 
for the election on November 5 are making front page 
news. It almost begins to look as if it might become 
a toss-up. 
Wedel and Leak are the only two men from my 
Department who are now awaiting the posting of their 
registration nxambers. I certainly hope that it will 
be some time before either one will be called. 
I hope that yoxir feathered friends will keep 
you from wearing a stiff shirt too often, and that you 
have an opportxuilty for collecting lots of new species, 
at the same time getting the change which you deserve. 
Sincerely yours. 
Head Curator, 
Department of Anthropology.
