THE NINETY-FIFTH ANNuAL REPORT.
THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS,
FEBRUARY 4,
\

I
IgOI,
TO FEBRUARY 3,
Ig02.
HE ninety-fifth year of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts has been
both a prosperous and eventful one.
In submitting the Annual Report the
President and Board · of Directors
would first of all express grateful acknowledgment for the increasing and more general
interest of the people, for whom the institution is maintained, and for the pr~ctical assistance and co-operation
of those joining in the work of the Academy by becoming Life or Annual Members. The Academy also
owes, and would express especial obligation and thanks
to the public press of Philadelphia and of the whole
country, for the attention given to the Exhibitions, and
for the most valuable assistance and service rendered
by a full and continued understanding of the work and
purposes of the management, and a dear setting forth
of the institution's requirements.
During the year just closed many indications of
advance are to be noted, but the most encouraging
features in any year are the growth and continued development of the nation's art in Painting, Sculpture,
and Architecture, and the endeavor toward higher
ideals.
These were strongly exemplified by the art
exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition, at Buffalo,
7
8
Nin~ty-fifth
Annual Report
which (with two exceptions) included the 'w ork of every
American sculptor of note, and the best work of the
American painters in the past decade. To this Exhibition the Academy lent nine works from its Permanent
Collection, to two of which were awarded the highest
honors.
The Annual Exhibitions of the Academy continue to
hold a leading place among those of the United States,
and the Seventy-first Annual Exhibition, which is now
open at the date of this Report, is a notable one.
The year has brought valuable additions to the Permanent Collections, and the work in the Schools shows
progress and good results. Sincerity and thoroughness '
of instruction are evidenced by the admirable work in
design and illustration recently shown by a group of
women, not long since pupils in the Schools, and by the
painting of a number of the younger men.
The selection of a distinguished and older student of
the Academy, Edwin A. Abbey, to paint for the English
nation the picture to illustrate and commemorate the
coronation of King Edward VI!., now about to take
place, is in itself most noteworthy, and this also calls
significant attention to the fact that Charles Robert
Leslie, a still earlier student of the Academy, who had
gone to England under one of the first Scholarships
granted by the Board of Directors, was in 1837 commissioned to paint the scene of Queen Victoria's coronation.
The Permanent Collections of the Academy have
received the following additions during the year:
The Skaters, oil painting by Gari Melchers. Purchased for the Temple Collection from the Seventieth Annual Exhibition.

From February 7 to 24, there was added to the
Seventieth Annual Exhibition, occupying Gallery Band
the South Transept, a group of eighty-one pictures (including six owned by the Academy) from the Paris
Exposition of 19°0. These were d elayed in transportation beyond the opening day of the Annual Exhibition,
but formed an important collection in themselves, and
offered the only opportunity in this country to see a
group of the American work shown at Paris.
The Academy Gold Medal of Honor was awarded by
the Board of Directors to Henry]. Thouron, for eminent services in the cause of art and to the Academy.
From March 10, for two weeks, Galleries G and H

Ninety-fifth Annual Report
The standard reached by this Exhibition has probably
not been surpassed by any annual display of American
art yet held in this country. The predominance of portraits would seem to indicate that patronage of native ·
talent is growing, but until this appreciation of American
painters is extended to all branches of art the very
highest development may not be expected.
The Academy owes cordial acknowledgments to American artists at home and abroad for co-operation in
the results thus achieved, and it offers sincere thanks
to collectors and owners of American works of art for
loans which have done much to enrich the Exhibition
and render it comprehensive. To Mr. Howard Mansfield, for the loan of his splendid group of etchings by
Whistler, particular thanks are due.
The works included in the catalogue of the Seventyfirst Annual Exhibition number 803; of these the . oil
paintings are 415, the water colors and others 319, and
the sculptures 69.
The Exhibition remains on view until March I, · 1902.
It occupies galleries F, G, H, and I, with the intervening corridors and the rotunda, and to these has been
added gallery E, in which are installed the pictures by
American painters in Paris.

The system of free scholarships from the public .
schools of Philadelphia, by which sixty students receive
annually the courses of the Academy, has been carried
through the year under the terms of the agreement
with the City Councils and the Board of Public Education, from whom the Academy Schools receive an
appropriation of $5000.
The educational advantages thus attained are shown
by the engagement of many of these students as
teachers of art in the public schools and elsewhere.
The exhibit of work from the Academy Schools
which last year was sent through the South, has been
augmented, and is now being displayed in a number of
Northern cities, from which many encouraging reports
have been received.
Catalogues, reports, and pamphlets have been .added Catalogues,

The excellent plan of giving two evening receptions
during the Annual Exhibition, which the Civic Club has
maintained during several years past, was carried out as
usual. On the first evening the attendance was 2508,
and the picture receiving the highest vote was Th e End
of the DaJ', by W. Sergeant Kendall. On the second
evening the. attendance was 3225, and picture chosen,
Lady w ith Rose, by W. · M. Chase.
It is a sad duty to record the deaths of two painters
of the older generation. That of Edward Moran, one
of the last of the Academicians of this Academy,
occurred on June 9, 1901; that of J. K. Trego, an
associate Academician, occurred on January 25, 1902.
The death of Robert N. Toppan removes one of
those who united in · the liberal endowment of the
Charles Toppan Prizes in the Academy Schools.

l'
Ninety-fifth Annual Report
The death of Thomas Stewardson, founder of the
Edmund Stewardson Prize in the department of Sculpture of the Academy Schools, occurred on January 20,
1902, and it is fitting to express high appreciation of his
interest in the welfare of the Academy.
In recording the lamented death of Charles Roberts,
on January 23, 1902, the President and Directors desire
to express their sincere sense of the loss sustained by
the community and by the Academy, of which he was
for three years a Director. Mr. Roberts was elected to
the Board as a representative of the City Councils,
which body h~ long and faithfully served, and his duties
as Director of the Academy were fulfilled with an earnestness and devotion which leave an enduring record
in the annals of the institution.
At the close of the fiscal year, and just as this report
Cresson
is about to be presented, the Board of Directors have
Memorial
received notice of the munificent bequests for the
Prize Fund.
Schools of the Academy, under the wills of Emlen
Cresson, who died in 1889, and of his wife, Priscilla
Pritchett Cresson, who died a few weeks since. By the
terms of these the entire residuary estate~ are left to
endow a foundation in memory of William Emlen
Cresson, an Academician of this Academy, to be known
as' "The William Emlen Cresson Prize Memorial Fund,"
and to be used for scholarships for travel and study
abroad.
In view of the large sum thus placed in trust the
foundation may be regarded as one of the most lmportant art endowments which has been made in the
United States.
While it should be made clear that the fund thus es-
The Academy of the Fine Arts
2]
tablished in no way assists or strengthens the finances
of the A cademy, the whole income being specifically
devoted to the purpose named, it would also seem certain that, the trust being administered vvith the care and
wisdom which are so evidently requisite, this generous
and splendid benefaction should bring with it most valuable results, and should attract to the Schools of the
Academy, for a long period established upon an excellent basis, earnest students from all parts of the country.
The general statement of the Treasurer to December
3 I, 1901, and the profit and loss account, are submitted
in the following pages. From these it will be seen that
the Academy's receipts have been $23,803-40, and the
disburseme1'lts $24,596.28, resulting in a net deficiency
of $792.88.

THE NINETY-FIFTH ANNuAL REPORT.
THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS,
FEBRUARY 4,
\
1
I
IgOI,
TO FEBRUARY 3,
Ig02.
HE ninety-fifth year of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts has been
both a prosperous and eventful one.
In submitting the Annual Report the
President and Board · of Directors
would first of all express grateful acknowledgment for the increasing and more general
interest of the people, for whom the institution is maintained, and for the pr~ctical assistance and co-operation
of those joining in the work of the Academy by becoming Life or Annual Members. The Academy also
owes, and would express especial obligation and thanks
to the public press of Philadelphia and of the whole
country, for the attention given to the Exhibitions, and
for the most valuable assistance and service rendered
by a full and continued understanding of the work and
purposes of the management, and a dear setting forth
of the institution's requirements.
During the year just closed many indications of
advance are to be noted, but the most encouraging
features in any year are the growth and continued development of the nation's art in Painting, Sculpture,
and Architecture, and the endeavor toward higher
ideals.
These were strongly exemplified by the art
exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition, at Buffalo,
7
8
Nin~ty-fifth
Annual Report
which (with two exceptions) included the 'w ork of every
American sculptor of note, and the best work of the
American painters in the past decade. To this Exhibition the Academy lent nine works from its Permanent
Collection, to two of which were awarded the highest
honors.
The Annual Exhibitions of the Academy continue to
hold a leading place among those of the United States,
and the Seventy-first Annual Exhibition, which is now
open at the date of this Report, is a notable one.
The year has brought valuable additions to the Permanent Collections, and the work in the Schools shows
progress and good results. Sincerity and thoroughness '
of instruction are evidenced by the admirable work in
design and illustration recently shown by a group of
women, not long since pupils in the Schools, and by the
painting of a number of the younger men.
The selection of a distinguished and older student of
the Academy, Edwin A. Abbey, to paint for the English
nation the picture to illustrate and commemorate the
coronation of King Edward VI!., now about to take
place, is in itself most noteworthy, and this also calls
significant attention to the fact that Charles Robert
Leslie, a still earlier student of the Academy, who had
gone to England under one of the first Scholarships
granted by the Board of Directors, was in 1837 commissioned to paint the scene of Queen Victoria's coronation.
The Permanent Collections of the Academy have
received the following additions during the year:
The Skaters, oil painting by Gari Melchers. Purchased for the Temple Collection from the Seventieth Annual Exhibition.

Ninety-fifth Annual Report
The standard reached by this Exhibition has probably
not been surpassed by any annual display of American
art yet held in this country. The predominance of portraits would seem to indicate that patronage of native ·
talent is growing, but until this appreciation of American
painters is extended to all branches of art the very
highest development may not be expected.
The Academy owes cordial acknowledgments to American artists at home and abroad for co-operation in
the results thus achieved, and it offers sincere thanks
to collectors and owners of American works of art for
loans which have done much to enrich the Exhibition
and render it comprehensive. To Mr. Howard Mansfield, for the loan of his splendid group of etchings by
Whistler, particular thanks are due.
The works included in the catalogue of the Seventyfirst Annual Exhibition number 803; of these the . oil
paintings are 415, the water colors and others 319, and
the sculptures 69.
The Exhibition remains on view until March I, · 1902.
It occupies galleries F, G, H, and I, with the intervening corridors and the rotunda, and to these has been
added gallery E, in which are installed the pictures by
American painters in Paris.

The system of free scholarships from the public .
schools of Philadelphia, by which sixty students receive
annually the courses of the Academy, has been carried
through the year under the terms of the agreement
with the City Councils and the Board of Public Education, from whom the Academy Schools receive an
appropriation of $5000.
The educational advantages thus attained are shown
by the engagement of many of these students as
teachers of art in the public schools and elsewhere.
The exhibit of work from the Academy Schools
which last year was sent through the South, has been
augmented, and is now being displayed in a number of
Northern cities, from which many encouraging reports
have been received.
Catalogues, reports, and pamphlets have been .added Catalogues,

The excellent plan of giving two evening receptions
during the Annual Exhibition, which the Civic Club has
maintained during several years past, was carried out as
usual. On the first evening the attendance was 2508,
and the picture receiving the highest vote was Th e End
of the DaJ', by W. Sergeant Kendall. On the second
evening the. attendance was 3225, and picture chosen,
Lady w ith Rose, by W. · M. Chase.
It is a sad duty to record the deaths of two painters
of the older generation. That of Edward Moran, one
of the last of the Academicians of this Academy,
occurred on June 9, 1901; that of J. K. Trego, an
associate Academician, occurred on January 25, 1902.
The death of Robert N. Toppan removes one of
those who united in · the liberal endowment of the
Charles Toppan Prizes in the Academy Schools.

Ninety-fifth Annual Report
The death of Thomas Stewardson, founder of the
Edmund Stewardson Prize in the department of Sculpture of the Academy Schools, occurred on January 20,
1902, and it is fitting to express high appreciation of his
interest in the welfare of the Academy.
In recording the lamented death of Charles Roberts,
on January 23, 1902, the President and Directors desire
to express their sincere sense of the loss sustained by
the community and by the Academy, of which he was
for three years a Director. Mr. Roberts was elected to
the Board as a representative of the City Councils,
which body h~ long and faithfully served, and his duties
as Director of the Academy were fulfilled with an earnestness and devotion which leave an enduring record
in the annals of the institution.
At the close of the fiscal year, and just as this report
Cresson
is about to be presented, the Board of Directors have
Memorial
received notice of the munificent bequests for the
Prize Fund.
Schools of the Academy, under the wills of Emlen
Cresson, who died in 1889, and of his wife, Priscilla
Pritchett Cresson, who died a few weeks since. By the
terms of these the entire residuary estate~ are left to
endow a foundation in memory of William Emlen
Cresson, an Academician of this Academy, to be known
as' "The William Emlen Cresson Prize Memorial Fund,"
and to be used for scholarships for travel and study
abroad.
In view of the large sum thus placed in trust the
foundation may be regarded as one of the most lmportant art endowments which has been made in the
United States.
While it should be made clear that the fund thus es-
The Academy of the Fine Arts
2]
tablished in no way assists or strengthens the finances
of the A cademy, the whole income being specifically
devoted to the purpose named, it would also seem certain that, the trust being administered vvith the care and
wisdom which are so evidently requisite, this generous
and splendid benefaction should bring with it most valuable results, and should attract to the Schools of the
Academy, for a long period established upon an excellent basis, earnest students from all parts of the country.
The general statement of the Treasurer to December
3 I, 1901, and the profit and loss account, are submitted
in the following pages. From these it will be seen that
the Academy's receipts have been $23,803-40, and the
disburseme1'lts $24,596.28, resulting in a net deficiency
of $792.88.
The Academy has received during the past year contributions of $100 each from fifty-two Life Members,
and of $ 10 from one hundred and sixty-six Annual
Members. These funds, representing the active interest
of the community in the work and purposes of , the
institution are of especial service, and it is hoped that
each year the number of members may be increased.
To the Mayor of the City and to the City Councils
are due appreciation and thanks for their co-operation
in the work of the Academy duriug the year 1901.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
