The a wards are divided among the various branches of instruction taught in the Schools, based upon the 1IIt1llbcr of pupi ls

;l.I1oth er factor. The award cOII!'ist!' oi $500 to each stude nt, to be

Scholarship.
It is the inten tion of the Cresson Scholarships to give to the
s tudents of the A cademy the advantage of see in g some of the
impo rtant Galleries and Art Sc hoo ls abroad, and the Academy
desires to ex tend the benefit of the Scho larships to as m any
students as possible, provided they possess the necessary m erit.
The t ri p abroad is lim ited to the su mme r vacation, a period of four
month s, from June to September inclu s ive, so that students can
return to th e Academ y for study during the e ns uing school year.
The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of th e Committee on Instruction, may, in case of exceptional merit, permit
a s tudent to com pete for the Cresson Scho larsh ips again, and

As a temporary home for the Art Student
Philadelphia has un iq u e advantages.
Known as the" City of Homes," it affords
good living at a lower cost than is possible
in any other large city in the East .

~.

In hi s torical interest it is rich, and its
suburbs, easy of access, offer unusual
chance for out-of-door work. Opportunitie s
for general culture are varied ant! the
Academy is fortunately able to secure
special rates for its students to many of the
lectures and concerts given each season.

J

The Academy itself is centrally located
and within short walking distance from it
are good boarding-places. Th e two princi pal railroad stations are each within five
minutes' walk .
Recog nizing that a comfortable living
place is an aid to serious study the management invites correspondence with students

"The one thing that m a kes the true
artist is a clea r perception and a firm,
boJd hand, in distinction from that imperfect menta l vision and uncertain touch
which give u s the feeble p ictures and the
lumpy statues of the mere artisans on
canvas or in stone."- IIOllJJes.
