THE NINETY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT.
THE' PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS,
FEBRUARY 5,

1900,

TO FEBRUARY 4,

I9 0

r.

HAT the ninety-fourth year of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has
been signalized by marked advances in
many directions will be evident from
the following Annual Report, offered
by the President and Directors, at the
same time, to th ~ Stockholders, to the Annual and Life
Membership, and to the community at large, for 'whose
welfare the Academy exists.
Few American institutions of learning outrank the
Academy in age, yet none is more zealous in the cause
of taste and high ideals as these affect contemporaneous
life.
The year past has been rich in additions to the Permanent Collections of the Academy. In useful fruits
born' by .the Schools, there has rarely been a more productive period.
Growth in public esteem may be
estimated by the increased number of Annual and LIfe
Members, as shown in the list accompanying this Report, and by the enlarged attendance at the Annual Exhibition, while the response from the Press . has been
generous in volume and in sentiment.
To the newspapers at home and elsewhere the Academy owes so much that the best return it can offer is
response in growth as wide as ingratitude.

installed hereafter in the other galleries. For the heating apparatus in the Gibson Galleries thanks are due to
Mrs. Robc;rt C. H. Brock and Miss Gibson, daughters of
Mr. Gibson .

Ninety-fourth Annual Report
Seventieth
Annual Exhibition.

The Seventieth Annual Exhibition opened with an
. evening reception on Saturday, January 12, 1901. The
guests, numbering about 2500, were received in gallery
G by the President and Directors, assisted by the following hostesses:
MRS. EDWARD COLES,

MRS. J. MADISON TAYLOR ,

MRS. VViI'!. BACON STEVENS,

MRS.

MRS. VVILLIAM

Though the Annual Exhibition of 1900 was considered to have reached the highest position among
American Exhibitions to its date, the volume of praise _
called forth throughout the country by the Exhibition
of 1901 characterizes it as exceeding in quality and in
beauty any of its predecessors.
This is due not only to the advances made in the
past few years by the whole body of native art, but
also to the friendly spirit manifested towards the
Academy by the leading American artists at home
and abroad, a sentiment whose existence gives these
Annual Exhibitions a comprehensiveness .not elsewhere
eq ualled, and for which the Academy is correspondingly grateful.
The number of works included in the catalogue of
the Seventieth Annual Exhibition is 735 ; of these 410
are oil paintings, 265 water colors, and 60 sculptures.
The exhibit remains on view until Febr].1ary 23, 1901.
It occupies galleries F, G, H, and I, with the intervening
corridors, the rotunda, the central corridor, and the east
front.

The withdrawal of Walter Appleton Clark as Instructor in Illustration, owing to his increasing professional duties, is regretted.
The Schools now have
instead the services of Henry McCarter, a gifted illustrator and an old student of the Academy. The class.
in Illustration under Mr. McCarter has assumed a promising activity.
Exhibitions of work by students · of the Academy
were held in the galleries in the spring and fall. I ncluded in the latter were exhibits of the Shinnecock and
Darby Schools of Art.
In the spring students' exhibition were ,shown the
competitive paintings entered for the Charles Toppan .

awarded by the Committee on Instruction as follows:

First Prize,

to Ella S. Hergesheimer.

First Prize, $ 15, to Ella S. Hergesheimer.
S econd P rize, $ r 0, to Helen Kinsey.

Richardson.
The first award of the Edmund Stewardson Prize of

the Stewardson contest.

Schools to the New York exhibitions was repeated in
March, 1900, again through the courtesies of Mr. John
V. Sears, Mr. W. A. Patton, and Mr. W. M. Chase, to
whom thanks are warmly returned.
The mutual plan by which the public schools of Philadelphia have been enabled to receiye the advanced instruction of the Academy has been carried through the

18

Ninety-fourth Annual Report

year with undiminished results. Tpe annual appropriation of $5000 was made by the City Councils to the
Academy Schools, under which sixty free students .are
entitled to a three years' course. For the aid thus afforded to a practical effort in art education, the Academy
offers acknowledgments to the City Councils of Philadelphia and to the Board of Education.
Succe~sful work in diffusing knowledge of the fine arts
at home has led the Management to perceive that fruitful results might be undertaken in neighboring fields.
An exhibit of the work of the Schools in every department was therefore collected in the early fall and has
been sent, with eager co-operation, to six cities of the
South: Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Louisville, Ky.,
New Orleans, Charleston, Columbia. From newspaper
comment and letters .received, it is evident that this art- ,
extensio~ has borne quick and good fruits.
