Legislature and the administra-
tion on the forthcoming permanent
budget.
REGISTRAR'S REPORT
During the past year a number of
accessions have been made
to museum collections as per attached
list. In each case the proper
acknowledgment has been made and the
various items catalogued,
placed on exhibition, or stored as
seemed advisable.
As Staff Artist I take pleasure in
reporting the completion
and installation of a series of eighteen
decorative panels in the
South Hall of Archaeology. These panels
suggest the probable
method of using the various types of
stone implements exhibited
in nearby cases, and help to relieve the
somewhat cold and color-
less aspect formerly noticed in this
room.
As Curator of Minerals I may report the
addition of a num-
ber of specimens through an exchange
with the Dayton Public
Library Museum, also through donations.
The mineral collection
has been utilized as a source of
inspiration by students of design
in the Department of Fine Arts of the
Ohio State University
during the past year, and designs made
by them are now on ex-
hibition in the Museum.
