Traveling Scholarship:
branches.

Through the liberality of a member of the
Board of Directors, a Traveling Scholarship
of $800.00, providing one year's study abroad,
has for the last four years been offered to
students of the Academy.
The Committee on Instruction announces
that a similar scholarship for the year 1895-96
has been extended to the schools by the same
member of the Board.
I n order to compete for this scholarship, students of the Academy must enter the three
annual ,-,}J/cIIltrs of both the Antique and the
Life and Head Classes.

Students desiring partial courses including
one or more of the above subjects, will be required to make a special application to the
Faculty, but in such cases they will not be entitled to the privileges accorded to those taking
the full curriculum.
Three C011cours are held during the year.
Without taking part in these, no student can
compete for Honors, Class Prizes, or Scholarships.
These conctmrs will occur at the end of each
eleven weeks,-namely, the weeks ending December 15, 1894, March 2, 1895, and May 18,
1895,-and are as follows:
Day Life and Head Class: Drawing from
Figure, Painting from Head, Modelling, and
Composition.
Day Antique Class: Painting from StilI-life,
Perspective, Anatomy, Drawing and Modelling
from Cast.
Night Life Class: Drawing and Modelling
from Figure, and Composition.
Night Antique Class: Drawing and Modelling from Cast.

The Charles Toppan prizes of $200.00 and
$100.00 respectively, were established in 1881
by the gift of Mrs. Charles Toppan, Miss Harriette R. Toppan, and Mr. Robert N. Toppan.
According to the positively expressed tenus
of the gift, the drawing of the pictures will
receive the first attention of the judges.
The prizes will be awarded only to students
who have worked regularly in the Academy
Schools for at least two years, one of which
must be the year of the competition.
The works submitted must be original paintings dealing with subjects named by the Committee on Instruction, and all works in compe-
