the metropolitan museum of art embarked its first educational venture during the winter of 1879-1880 with the establishment of a school to provide vocational training in woodworking and metalworking. this first school was funded by a $50,000 contribution from gideon f.t. reed, former partner of tiffany and co., with organizational assistance from edward moore, a silversmith. over the next 15 years the school's name was changed numerous times, in part a reflection of changing ideas about education held by metropolitan museum trustees. among names used were industrial art schools of the metropolitan museum of art, technical art schools of the metropolitan museum of art, metropolitan museum art schools, and the metropolitan museum of art schools. the schools were supervised by a succession of managers under the direction of a committee on art schools, which in turn reported to the metropolitan's board of trustees. managers included john buckingham, john ward stimson, arthur l. tuckerman and arthur pennington.
