Efforts are being excrted to have Professor Will
lam f Ware reconsider his decision in resgning
from the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art His action in the matter was de-
cided upon without consulting any OF the other
members of the board. Professor Wares former
associates on the board learned OF his resignation
with regret and when they were informed OF the
facts which led up to ii they were inclined 10 thihN
that he had acted too quickly and that his resle-
nation was altogether due 10 misun!'TstAn ms
or rather a misnterpre;ation % the charter Of the
Museum. As a result. several OF ;he members or th'
board have approached Professor Ware with the re
quest that he review he matter again ana WIN
draw his decision.
II Is a matter Of doubt however whether Pro
fessor Ware he persuaded to withdraw MS res
ignat,on He does not make pretence OF conceal
ing the fact that he feels thai he has been treated
discourteously He was an earnest worker on the
board He declined TO discuss the subject yesier-
