give regular criticisms throughout the se ason.
Color work in a Life Class or a Head Class
will be permitted, subject to the approval of the
Instructor in charge.

Modelling and Perspective may be included if
desired.
Specimens of modelling of sufficient merit
are required for admission or promotion to the
Life Modelling Classes.
The Night Life Modelling Classes will be

The class is divided into two sections:
The First Section consists of those who,
while not mere beginners, are still unprepared
for advanced work. Admission to the First
Section will be obtained by the submission of
satisfactory examples of work to the Faculty.

Members of the architectural course desiring
to take part in the competitions of the New
York Society of Beaux Arts Architects will be at
liberty to send their work there for judgment
and award.
By the terms of the wills of Ernlen Cresson
and Priscilla P. Cresson, a Fllnd has been
created as a Memorial to their deceased son,
William Ernlen Cresson, Academician , the income of which is to be applied by The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in sending
pupils of merit of the said Corporation to Europe to study art.
By arrangement with the Managing Committee
of the John Stewardson Memorial Scholarship
in Architecture, awarded by the University of
Pennsylvania, the problem for the competition
for that scholarship will be identical in time and
subject with one of the more important problems of the Academy's course, so that students
of that course, if othenvise properly qualified
for the Stewardson competition, may take part
therein by simply performing their regular work.
It is also expected that arrangements will be
made by which the graduates of the School of
Architecture of the University of Pennsylvania,
who are students in the Academy course, may
take part in the competition for the Alumni
Fellowship by submitting in competition one of
the regular problems of the Academy course.
All students mllst enroll at the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts and pay their dues
of ten dollars per term (twenty dollars per
annum) to the Curator, receiving a membership
card, withollt which no student will be admitted
to the classes. Those who have not previously
been students of the Academy will be required
to pay the Academy's matriculation fee of five
dollars.

Under this fonndation, during the past five
years the Academy has sent abroad for study
forty-three pupils for terms varying from four
months to three years.
For the school year of 1907-1908, the Academy
will have at its disposal a number of Travelling
Scholars hips for awards to sttldems of the
Schools, in Painting, Sculpture, and Architectural Design. These will consi st of Long-term :1nd
Short-term Scholarships, the number of each to
be determined by circumstances. The Longterm Scholarships will be for the period of one
year or more; the ShorHerm Scholarships will
be for a period of four months, from June to
September, inclusive.
Of the Short-term Scholarships it is a condition
that students shall return to the Academy for
study during the following school year, and it
is expected that they will again be competitors
for Cresson Sc:holarships.

give regular criticisms throughout the se ason.

Specimens of modelling of sufficient merit
are required for admission or promotion to the
Life Modelling Classes.

Members of the architectural course desiring
to take part in the competitions of the New
York Society of Beaux Arts Architects will be at
liberty to send their work there for judgment
and award.
By the terms of the wills of Ernlen Cresson
and Priscilla P. Cresson, a Fllnd has been
created as a Memorial to their deceased son,
William Ernlen Cresson, Academician , the income of which is to be applied by The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in sending
pupils of merit of the said Corporation to Europe to study art.
By arrangement with the Managing Committee
of the John Stewardson Memorial Scholarship
in Architecture, awarded by the University of
Pennsylvania, the problem for the competition
for that scholarship will be identical in time and
subject with one of the more important problems of the Academy's course, so that students
of that course, if othenvise properly qualified
for the Stewardson competition, may take part
therein by simply performing their regular work.
It is also expected that arrangements will be
made by which the graduates of the School of
Architecture of the University of Pennsylvania,
who are students in the Academy course, may
take part in the competition for the Alumni
Fellowship by submitting in competition one of
the regular problems of the Academy course.
All students mllst enroll at the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts and pay their dues
of ten dollars per term (twenty dollars per
annum) to the Curator, receiving a membership
card, withollt which no student will be admitted
to the classes. Those who have not previously
been students of the Academy will be required
to pay the Academy's matriculation fee of five
dollars.

Under this fonndation, during the past five
years the Academy has sent abroad for study
forty-three pupils for terms varying from four
months to three years.
For the school year of 1907-1908, the Academy
will have at its disposal a number of Travelling
Scholars hips for awards to sttldems of the
Schools, in Painting, Sculpture, and Architectural Design. These will consi st of Long-term :1nd
Short-term Scholarships, the number of each to
be determined by circumstances. The Longterm Scholarships will be for the period of one
year or more; the ShorHerm Scholarships will
be for a period of four months, from June to
September, inclusive.
Of the Short-term Scholarships it is a condition
that students shall return to the Academy for
study during the following school year, and it
is expected that they will again be competitors
for Cresson Sc:holarships.
