The-president General:  [on electing officials]   ... Then Curator General.

Mrs. Wait (Mich.): Madam President General, distinguished Daughters and members of the 26th Continental Congress: Since that small band of women so many years ago had the inspiration to bring into existence this great organization of Daughters of the American Revolution, we have had many blessings. Among those blessings is the one that we have had Daughters who have had vision and who have had steadfastness of purpose to cherish those visions, until they became realities. We have had one woman recently whom you all know, whom it is not necessary for me to laud at all, who has had a vision and has pursued it, not to completion but until in its present form you can see what the vision will be when it is thoroughly organized in the way in which Miss Catherine B. Barlow wishes to organize it.

It was my good fortune in the month of January to go through the building with a company of artists, and those artists said that if Miss Barlow's vision could be realized the Daughters of the American Revolution would have one of the mo'st beautiful museums in all the world, if but a small one. If it were not that we are limited to two minutes I would like to tell you many things about Miss Barlow; but I am sure I have said enough within the minutes allotted to leave with you the nomination of Miss Catherine Britton Barlow for Curator General. (Applause.)

Mrs. Hume (Wis.): Madam President General and members of the 26th Congress: It gives me great pleasure to second the nomination of Miss Catherine B. Barlow for election to the office of Curator General. Her unfailing courtesy and recognized ability render her especially fitted for this office. (Applause.)

The President General: I present Miss Barlow, ladies. (Applause.)
