hanging frameIess on the wall. His bullet had
severed the string. He took ii to the window
and examined il carefully. He thought he recog-

with dirt and smoke. The wood on which it was
stretched was injured. and as he stood examin-

ACADEMY IN DANGER.
Artists Fear 1t viii Lose Funds IN
Union zCith Columbia.

considerable comment has been excited among
members of the National Academy Of Design by
the recent statement of George L. Rives,
trustee of Columbia University, that the acad-
emy alone will have to raise the S5OOOOO re-
quired for the building Of the proposed school
of fine arts. which involves the cooperation OF
the university, the academy and the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art.
Although it has been generally supposed that
Columbia would aid substantially. in raising the
100000, Mr. Rives said in a Tribune interview
that Columbia's assistance would probably be
limited to furnishing the academy with list
of persons who might be willing to subscribe.
Regarding Mr.. Rives's statement well known
academician said yesterday to Tribune re-
porter:
have no doubt the trustees of Columbia will
expect the academy to collect the S5O0OOO II IT
get the members to do so, but doubt II
there will be much enthusiasm among the
academicians to work for it. The university
may accordingly in the end have to do it.
Another academiclan said that the transfer of
the schools OF the academy TO the university
seemed to have been due in part, to the fact
that the academy had amassed considerable
amount Of funds and real property, which might
be used eventually to some extent in building
up the proposed school of fine arts in the alli-
ance with Columbia
The academician went on to say:
Among the financial resources Of the
Academy of Design may be mentioned site in
Cathedral Parkway Drive, covering sixteen city
lots owned, without encumbrance, at a cost of
S249 900; trust funds invested at per cent on
improved city property for the use of it's schools
TO the amount of 100000; fund of 100000
invested in . per cent city mortgages for main
tenance purposes. and building fund of about
100000.
When the academy tried some years ago to
raise 100000 for noble and beautiful structure
for q permanent home which would cost at leaS
100000, ii did not succeed. Whether ii will
be successful now in raising 100000 to erect a
building on a site furnished by Columbia re-
mains of course, to be seen. The fact is, how
ever, that the academy has land of its own and
enough money to spare to erect thereon ample
exhibition galleries. These, with its present
school building, would be sufficient for imme
diate needs, without any university alliance.
It is feared that when the academy has failed
TO raise the 100000 from the public it will be
asked TO contribute from its funds toward
the 100000 necessary for the erection OF the
school building the Columbia site.
