DR.. BUMPUS OUT,
ROW IN American
MUSEUM IS ENDED
Directors Resignation Accepted
and He Goes to University
of Wisconsin.

Or. Herman Carey Bumpus yesterday
Museum of Natural History. His reslg-
nation was accepted by "A special com
mittee OF five of Che trustees. headed by
Seth Low. who issued the following
statement:
Director Bumpus notified the trus-
tees of the American Museum OF Nat
ural History at a special meeting held
yesterday afternoon that he had ac-
cepted an appointment as business man
ager for the University of Wisconsin.
Accordingly he presented his ~resigna-
ton as director. which was accepted.
The administrative difficulty In the mu-
scum is thus terminated.
THE questions raised as to the respec-
tive duty and authority o. various ofl-
GERS in the museum seemed TO the board
important enough 10 be referred TO a
special committee. which was appointed
on Nov. 80. 1910. to give o hearing to the
director and to consider his criticisms.
The committee. which consisted OF
Arson w. Hard, Adrian lselln jr,, Percy
II. Pyne. Felix NJ. WarJurg and Seth
Low. Chairman, went into every crltl-
cism very thoroughly. They found
nothing to Justify the sweeping state
ment which had been made. and the
specific criticisms of President Osborn,
when slfted, were found to be either I'M
important or not sustained.
tn committee and the board believe
that the administration OF President
Osborn has been wise, efficient, far
sighted and public spirited. inc that the
financial MANAGEMENT has been sound
and constructive"
Conflicting opinions on the policy
under which the museum should be con
Quoted we're the cause of DR.. Bumpus's
resignation. He was In favor o: popu-
larizing the exhibits for the benefit OF
the general pu0lic, while Prot. Osborn
advocated purely a scientific exhibit.
The row started last spring.
DR.. Bumpus said to-day:
II have no criticism TO make con-
corning anybody connected with the
museum and cheerful,y accept the re-
port OF the special committee. The
whole affair was merely a matter OF
policy"
