DESCRIPTIVE ENTRY
This record unit traces the operation of the Smithsonian from 1925 to 1949. It
contains records from the last years of Secretary Charles D. Walcott's
administration, perhaps most notably the ambitious but abortive fund raising
campaign to add $10,000,000.00 to the Smithsonian's endowment. The Depression
and consequent cut-backs in government support are also present in the
records, as well as Smithsonian contributions to World War II, which naturally
had a significant impact on operations as well. Smithsonian bureaus that were
created, enlarged, or significantly changed during these years, and which are
represented here, include the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory; the
National Gallery of Art (now the Smithsonian American Art Museum); the National
Gallery of Art created from the gift of Andrew Mellon; the National
Zoological Park; the National Air and Space Museum; and the Canal Zone
Biological Area (now the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute). Secretary
Charles G. Abbot, whose tenure these records chiefly document, found his job
complicated by the effects of the Depression and World War II. The principal
event of his administration was Andrew Mellon's gift of a national art museum.
Abbot created a Division of Radiation and Organisms within the Astrophysical
Observatory, which he had directed and which remained his chief interest. He
was also able to use Works Progress Administration funds to produce major
improvements at the National Zoological Park. The Smithsonian maintained its
ties with the National Academy of Sciences, the Carnegie Institution, the
National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the National Research Council,
the National Geographic Society, and similar organizations. During World War II
the Smithsonian was instrumental in operating the Ethnogeographic Board, and
co-operated with the Office of Scientific Research and Development. Topics in
these records include: the Johnson-Smithsonian Expedition to the Puerto Rico
Trench, 1932; the Eighth American Scientific Congress, Washington, 1940; the
Smithsonian Scientific Series; North American Wildflowers; the
Langley-Wright controversy; the River Basin Survey; the abortive design
competition for a museum of modern art, won by Eliel and Eero Saarinen and
Robert Swanson; "The World Is Yours" radio programs; Robert H. Goddard's
rocket research; the Langley Medal; private funding for the Smithsonian,
particularly the Tamblyn and Brown plans for a 1927 campaign and the
associated 1927 Conference on the Future of the Smithsonian; and Abbot's
research in solar radiation and climatic studies.

- Gellatly Collection, 1929-1949. In 1929 and 1930 John Gellatly gave his collection of art to the then National Gallery of Art. During the same period he courted and married his wife, Charlayne Whiteley Gellatly. Mrs. Gellatly, who by her own statement in legal pleadings, married him for his supposed fortune, opposed the transfers and undertook to recover Gellatly's property. Her efforts were assiduous and insistent. In 1944 she secured a resolution directing the United States Court of Claims to investigate her claim. In 1947, after a careful study, the Court found her claims baseless. In 1948, Mrs. Gellatly resumed her suit, this time in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which dismissed her claim. She lost an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1949, which finally ended the controversy. These records chronicle the legal battles, and include correspondence with the donor, inventories, photographs, correspondence among Smithsonian staff and the like.

- Niagara Falls controversy, 1925. In 1925 Samuel S. Wyer, a consulting engineer and proponent of privately owned hydropower, induced the Smithsonian to publish a series of articles by him on hydroelectric power possibilities at Niagara Falls. Ostensibly a scientific study, the reports were taken as an attack on the principle of public ownership of hydroelectric facilities, and especially on the government owned power system in the Province of Ontario, Canada. The Institution came to feel it had been used for partisan purposes and extricated itself, with some difficulty, from the ensuing controversy, which took on some import because of the discussions in the Congress about public vs. private development of Muscle Shoals in Tennessee (TVA in the Roosevelt administration).

- North American Wild Flowers project, 1925-1944. Mary Vaux Walcott, wife of Secretary Walcott, had long been accustomed to paint wildflowers that she observed when accompanying her husband on his yearly fossil-hunting expeditions. It was decided to produce a series of volumes entitled "North American Wild Flowers" for the purpose of better educating people in botany. From private subscriptions, the Smithsonian raised money for production and produced and sold many copies of the work, in several different grades of fineness. Professional botanists seem not to have been very impressed by the project, but it was certainly popular and earned considerable money for the Institution's research fund.

- Smithsonian Scientific Series, 1925-1949. The Smithsonian Scientific Series was a publishing enterprise set up in 1925 to produce a series of popular books on scientific subjects from material written by staff members of the Smithsonian, who wrote as private persons under contracts with the publisher. The publisher agreed to handle all details of publication and distribution, and to give the Smithsonian a royalty on sales. While these royalties were substantial, there were constant problems as well. Finally, in 1944 the Federal Trade Commission found the firm to be guilty of numerous unfair and misleading trade practices. The Institution withdrew from the arrangement shortly thereafter.

- Tamblyn and Brown endowment project, 1925 -1928. In 1925 Secretary Walcott set in motion a plan to raise $10,000,000.00 for the Smithsonian's private endowment. The New York firm of Tamblyn and Brown was engaged to run the campaign, and Regent Dwight W. Morrow agreed to head the effort. The plan was aimed at the industrialists and monied class among which the Smithsonian had many ties and might well have succeeded. Unfortunately Walcott died in 1927, just days before the kick-off of the drive; and, after Morrow became ambassador to Mexico, the campaign faltered and died.

- Wright aeroplane controversy, 1925-1948. This material, including correspondence, news clippings, and photographs, deals with the Smithsonian' s efforts to obtain the airplane built and flown by Wilbur and Orville Wright for its collection. This effort followed a tortuous course and was greatly complicated by the fact that Samuel P. Langley, Walcott's predecessor, had been engaged in the same work as the Wright brothers. While Langley himself, however disappointed, does not seem to have contested the Wrights' priority, a number of Langley's friends and assistants downplayed the significance of the Wrights' achievements. Chief among them seems to have been Alexander Graham Bell, Charles M. Manly (pilot of the Langley aerodrome), and Glenn M. Curtiss, who actually flew the overhauled Langley airship at Hammondsport, New York, in 1914. The set result of their improvident and uncharitable opinions was to make the Wrights highly suspicious of the Smithsonian's motives. Their plane was sent abroad to the British Museum. Secretaries Walcott, Abbot (in particular), andWetmore all labored to soothe the Wrights' feelings, finally succeeding in 1948, when the estate deposited the "Kitty Hawk" at the Institution.
