STIMSON, John Ward, artist, born in Paterson, New Jersey, 16 December, 1850. He was graduated at Yale in 1872, and then studied art at the Ecoie des beaux arts in Paris, France. On his return to this country he became art instructor and lecturer at Princeton, but on the establishment of the art-schools that are connected with the Metropolitan museum in New York city he was appointed their superintendent. During the four years that he had charge of these schools Mr. Stimson increased the membership from thirty pupils to nearly four hundred, with seventeen classes. Owing to differences between himself and the trustees, who showed a desire to restrict his power, he resigned. In February, 1888, he announced his desire to found a New York university for artist artisans, and he has received substantial support for his scheme from the citizens of New York city. Mr. Stimson has meanwhile continued his artistic work, and has contributed to various exhibitions. He has also written for periodicals, and has published "The Law of Three Primaries" (New York, 1884).
