The year past has been one of progress in _the acquisition of art works, in the education of an increasing

Ninety-third Annual Report
To those who have thus signified their co-operation
with the Academy's aims and through the Academy
have sought to benefit the entire community, the Management tenders its sincere acknowledgments.
To American artists at home and abroad who have
contributed to the success of the ex hibitions by per-.
sonal assistance or by the entry of works, and to those
liberal owners of pictures who have lent them for the
displays of the year, the President and Directors offer
abundant thanks.
The Academy is also obliged for disinterested favors
from the press of Philadelphia and of the whole country, without whose ,c ontinual support o~lr work would
fail of its largest effect.
One of the most material steps taken during the past
year was the installation throughout the galleries and
in the Library and .Print Room of electric wiring and
lights. The device adopted has not before been used
in picture lighting, and is an important experiment in
this comparatively new field.
The Schools of the Academy owe much to the growing reputations of students who have taken leading
places in the world of pictorial art and sculptllre and in
illustration. To these acknowledgments are due and
assurances of watchful interest.
Owing to a decision of the Board of Revision of
Taxes of Philadelphia exempting the Academy from
taxation, it was found necessary to relinquish the
Thursday afternoon concerts, which had been maintained without interruption for twenty-two seasons.
As an evidence ot the value placed by art authorities on the collection of contemporary American. paintings owned by the Academy, the Jury ·for the Paris

The year past has been one of progress in the acquisition of art works, in the education of an increasing

Ninety-third Annual Report
To those who have thus signified their co-operation
with the Academy's aims and through the Academy
have sought to benefit the entire community, the Management tenders its sincere acknowledgments.
To American artists at home and abroad who have
contributed to the success of the ex hibitions by per-.
sonal assistance or by the entry of works, and to those
liberal owners of pictures who have lent them for the
displays of the year, the President and Directors offer
abundant thanks.
The Academy is also obliged for disinterested favors
from the press of Philadelphia and of the whole country, without whose ,c ontinual support o~lr work would
fail of its largest effect.
One of the most material steps taken during the past
year was the installation throughout the galleries and
in the Library and .Print Room of electric wiring and
lights. The device adopted has not before been used
in picture lighting, and is an important experiment in
this comparatively new field.
The Schools of the Academy owe much to the growing reputations of students who have taken leading
places in the world of pictorial art and sculptllre and in
illustration. To these acknowledgments are due and
assurances of watchful interest.
Owing to a decision of the Board of Revision of
Taxes of Philadelphia exempting the Academy from
taxation, it was found necessary to relinquish the
Thursday afternoon concerts, which had been maintained without interruption for twenty-two seasons.
As an evidence ot the value placed by art authorities on the collection of contemporary American. paintings owned by the Academy, the Jury ·for the Paris
