SCHOOLS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
OF THE FINE ARTS 1908-1909

\,'ORR DO:\,E I:\, TIlE P()RTR.\IT CL\SS

The Pennsylvania Academy is the oldest school in America
devoted exclusively to the cultivation of the fine arts. During the
hundred and more years of its existence its work has been most
successful, and it has aided in the training of many of the men and
women whose names are the most illustrious on the pages of American Art. Its sphere of usefulness has been gradually extended as year
after year its students of painting and of sculpture have gone forth
bearing with them the high artistic ideals which the Academy has
always maintained. In fact, the history of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts is in no small measure the history of
American Art itself. There is scarcely a page which records the
success of the graphic or plastic masters of this country which has
not been largely dictated by the instructors composing the Academy's Faculty. Among its former students are eminent painters
-figure, landscape, and marine-mural decorators, illustrators,
and sculptors of national reputation.
The Schools are under the immediate care of a Curator and
Committee on Instruction appointed by the President and Board
of Directors of the Academy, together with a Faculty composed of
representative artists of the day, men of wide experience as teachers
and eminently qualified to discover and develop every latent talent
which students may possess.
The aim of the Academy is not only to supply the best facilities
for the study of the Fine Arts in general, but also by means of
regular courses of study to equip its students for any special line
of artistic work which they may desire to follow. It wastes no
time in preparing its students for admission to its courses of study,
but presupposing that they have received primary instruction
already, engages them at once and exclusively in the study of the
fine arts and bends all its energies in this direction alone.
It especially aims to instruct its students in correct drawing,
and some of its largest prizes are based upon this fundamental
requisite to graphic art. It aims, furthermore, to instruct its pupils
[7]

\

in color, its harm()ny and contrast, and til create and develop in
them a cor"i-ect color sense. also in composition, in perspective, and
in every other essential to a comprehensi\'e study of the fine arts.
Besides the Academy's prescribed course of study, yarious Art
Lectures of general and special interest are gi \'en during the year,
and the students are encouraged to use the Academy's large and
valuable library.

Th" Academy is fully equipped in e\'ery way to teach the
technique of Painting and Sculpture, and the instruction it affords
is fully equal from a technical standpoint to that obtainable in
Europe: Its Faculty, collections, galleries, class-rooms, and equipment
mocl:ls and casts are admirably fitted for their purpose,
anel as tar as II1struction is concerned there is no necessity whatever
for the student to leave America, nevertheless, by the liberal
provision of the wills of Emlen Cresson and Priscilla P., his wife,
a fund has been created, as a memorial to their deceased son
\\'illiam Emlen Cresson, Academician, the income of which is t~
be applied by the Academy in sending its most meritorious students
to Europe. The income is divided into scholarships of $500 each,
awarded to the students impartially upon the merits of their work,
and nt"RING THE LAST YEAR EIGHTEEN STUDENTS WERE' SENT
ABROAD for a period of four months, from June to September inclusive, thereby enabling them to return to the Academy durinothe fall and continae their studies.
-"
Besides the Cresson scholarships, other substantial prizes are
offered to students as hereafter stated, and every incenti\'e held out
to them to develop their talents to the uttermost.
, -r:he Academy building is located in the heart of Philadelphia
\\'Ithm one square of the City Hall and within two or three blocks
of the central city railroad depots. While it is convenient to the
business portion of the city, it is also readily accessible to the
residential districts, and students can obtain good board at reasonable rates.

0:

Important adjuncts to the regular courses of study are offered
by the Academy's Permanent Collection of paintings and sculpture, and by its Annual Exhibitions, which for many years have
been recognized as being foremost alllong the exhibitions of the
country.
The Permanent Collection of paintings and sculpture includes
the Gallery of National Portraiture, the Temple Collection of
Modem American Paintings, and the (;ihson Collection, which is
largely composed of works of the Continental schools. Copying ill
the galleries is permitted to students under reasonable regulations.
The Annual Exhibitions bring together the best examples of
Americ;m painting and sculpture, and enahle the student to follow
intelligently the various movements of modern art, and study the
technical methods by which the art ()f the day is achieving its
"results. During the past year, these exhibitions included:
An Exhibition of \Vater Colors composed of 755 examples
representing 174 different artists;
An Exhibition of l\Iiniatures composed of 159 examples representing 73 different artists, and including also examples of foreign
miniaturists;
An Exhibition of Architecture by the T-Square Club of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of
Architects, composed of upwards of 600 items, and representing
about 150 architects; and finally,
The Academy's J03rd Annual Exhibition of Oil Paintings and
Sculpture, composed of 477 paintings and 139 sculptures, and
representing a total of 323 artists. This Exhibition was opened to
public view for six weeks and visited hy 5.J.,706 people.

Students not sufficiently advanced for admission to life classes
are offered facilities for modelling from the antique cast, and as
soon as they have acquired sufficient proficiency to admit them to
life classes, they are immediately promoted without the payment
of any further fee.
Some practical knowledge of the use of clay and a true conception of form in the round is of manifest advantage to both painter
and illustrator.
Students in sculpture are permitted to work in the drawing and
painting classes and recommended to work therein.
The Night Class for Men meets from 7 to 10 p.m. The' Afternoon Class for Women meets from 4'30 to 7 p.m. The work in
these classes is identical with that done in the Day Classes except
that the working hours are less. Should the attendance in either
class fall below six students the class will be discontinued.

The Fees for Sculpture Classes
The fee for the Day Classes is $45 per term for returning pupils
and $50 per term for new pupils. Students in the Day Classes
are allowed to work in the Afternoon or Night Classes without
further charge.
The fee for the Men's Night Class or for the Women's Afternoon Class is $25 per term for returning pupils and $30 per term
for new pupils.

of merit to Europe.
During th e past year the Academy sent abroad eighteen pupils
and expects to send a larger number this year. The awards will

factor, and the standard of the work as another factor. The award
consists of $500 to each student, to be expended in foreign travel
:\Ild work, within the limits of the Scholarship.
It is th e intention of the Cresson Scholarships to give to the
st ud ents of the Academy the advantage of seeing some of the
important Galleries and Art Schools abroad, and the Academy
desires to extend th e benefit of th e Scholarships to as many
students as possible, provided they possess the necessary merit.
T he trip abroad is limited to the summer vacation, a period of four
months, from June to September inclusive, so that students can
return to the Academy for study during the ensuin g school year.
The Board of Directors, upon the recolllmendation of the [<'acuity
and th e COl1lmittee on Instruction, luay, in case of exceptional
mcrit, perm it a student to compete for the Cresson Scholarship
again, or leng then the term to be allowed in foreign travel.

stud ied two or more years in th e Academy.

g As a temporary home for the Art Student,
Philadelphia has unique advantages. Known as
the .. aty of Homes," it affords good living at a
lower cost than is possible in any other large city
in the East.
gIn historical interest it is rich, and its suburbs,
easy of access, offer unusual chance for out-of-door
work. Opportunities for general culture are
varied and the Academy is fortunately able to
secure special rates for its students to many of the
lectures and concerts given each season.
g The Academy itself is centrally located and
within short walking distance from it are good
boarding-places. The two principal railroad
stations are each within five minutes' walk.
g Recognizing that a comfortable living place i.
an aid to serious sludy the management invites
correspondence with students from a distance and
offers freely its information and aid .

" The ideal artist, like the ideal philosopher, hi"
all time and all existence forMs virtual theme. Fed
by the world be can help· to mould it, and his insig/II is a kind if wisdom, preparing him at science
might for using the world well and making it more
rruiiful. He can tben be happy, not merely in tbe
sense oj~ having now and then an ecstatic moment, but

happy in having light and ,-esoura enougb witbin
him to cope steadily with real things and to leave
upon them the vestige if his mind."
