WHITNEY     -13-

"The plan of sending to Europe a sort of summary of past exhibitions that I have enjoyed in this gallery developed until it only awaited the opportunity to carry it out. When the chance came it had to be executed without delay. Some of the artists were away at the time. One or two others had, unfortunately, no pictures that could be spared for such a long absence, and some were owned by the museums and were unavailable."

Mrs. Whitney has done a considerable amount of writing, both for art magazines and other periodicals. She is a patron of the opera and in this, as in all branches of art, has been responsible for the development of much talent that would have been lost but for her interest, encouragement and generosity. She is a member of the American Federation of Arts, the Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, the National Institute of Social Science, the International Historical Society and the National Arts Club. She is also a member of the Colony and the Cosmopolitan Clubs. In 1922 New York University conferred upon her the honorary degree of Master of Arts.
