THE NINETY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT.
THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS,
FEBRUARY 3, 1902, TO FEBRUARY 2, 1903~
VH~W of the progress recorded in the
following pages, the President and Board
of Directors of the Penn,s ylvania Acad, emy of the Fine Arts have satisfaction
in submitting this, the ninety-sixth
Annual Report, to the Stockholders.
N
A career covering ninety-six years of our brief
national history de'n otes unusual age coupled with undiminished energy. This is shown , in the constant adjustment of the life of the Academy to the growing
ideals of native art, and displays itself alike in the Annual
Exhibitions, which have now assumed the position of an
American Salon, and in the development of the Schools, '
from which have recently arisen the most successful of
the younger men and women in the field of Illustration,
The most significant events of the past year are connected with the Schools. Two end0wments of signal
importance have been received, marking with emphasis the increased interest in art education which is
apparent throughout the cou·ntry, Of these, the bequests
of the late Emlen and Priscilla p, Cresson to found the
William Emlen Cresson Prize Memorial Fund, devoted
to scholarships for travel and study q,broad, is, perhaps,
the largest single endowment applied to instruction in
the Fine Arts which has been recorded. The other
foundation is that established by Mr, Henry], Thouron,

for the past twelve . years the honored Instructor of
Composition in the Academy Schools. Mr. Thouron
has given a fund of $32 50 for the perpetuation of three
annual prizes in the branch where his work as an
Instructor has been so effective. Another foundation
emanating from the School~ during the year is the
Jennie Sesnan Gold Medal, to be awat'ded in the Annual
Exhibitions ,to the best landscape. This is the gift of
Miss ' Elizabeth W. Roberts, once a student of the
Academy. The design of the medal is by H., Lyman
Sayen, and i~ . the result of a cOmpetition in the Schools
for prize awarded through the liberality of Miss Roberts.
a
"t'he Academy owes to the LIfe and Annual ,Members
both substantial and morale'n couragement, and it countS
among the ' most hopeful signs for the future of art in
Philadelphia and ; 111 the country at large this generous
support.
The Management is also grateful to the intelligent cooperation oJ the press of the country, which has shown
discriminating interest in the efforts of the Institution
for a more general , acknowledgment or' the claims of
the Fine Arts, To such interest must be credited, in
s~me degree,the 'enlarged attendance throughout the
year as well as ~he increased purchase of works from
th~ annual displays, which patronage stands at the foundation of ~very successful ' exhibition,

The full recognition by the press and public of the
high character of this exhibition indicates its quality.
From many sides approvat in no stinted measure has
been received. This.is due primarily to the advance
of the whole body of American painting and sculpture.
Without new impulses and the fulfilment of high aims,
the Management would be lacking in material to form
so splendid an exhibition. The Aqdemy is also indebted to many collectors of American works, whose
growth in number is one of the encouraging symptoms
-in contemporary art.
The works included in the Catalogue of the Seventysecond Annual Exhibition number 896; of these the
oil paintings are 42 I I the. water colors and others 38 I I

Under the provisions of the Wills of Emlen Cresson
and Priscilla P. Cresson, which became operative on the

Through the generous action ' of Mr. Henry J.
Thouron, once a, stqdent of the . School and now for
many years its Instructor in Composition, a , fund of
$ 3250 was placed at the disposal of the Schools for the
award of prizes in Composition. These pliizes will be
available at the end of the present School year, and it is
expected that they will further develop the branch of
Composition which, under Mr. Thouron's teaching, has
reached 'great thoroughn ~ss. It is recorded as very
gratifying _ to the Management thus to connect per-
20
Ninety-sixth Annual Report
manently Mr. Thouron's name with the work he has so
faithfully carried forward.
The claims of Architecture as a sister art with Painting
and Sculpture have been given recognition . during the
year past by the establishment of a School of Archi•
tecture as a branch of the Academy Schools. The
equipment of the atelier was prepared with the cooperation of Messrs. Frank Miles Day, Wilson Eyre,
Edgar V. Seeler, and the late Walter Cope, who, with
characteristic interest in the cause of this branch, volunteered their services as Instructors. The aim of this
School is to afford instruction in advanced design to
those only who. shall have gained proficiency in one of
the established Schools of Architecture, with certain
experience as draughtsmen in actual service.
The
experiment has been a successful one, both in the
number of students matriculated and in the work thus
far accomplished.
The sixty free scholarships awarded in the Academy
Schools to students of the Public Schools of Philadelphia,
under an agreement with the City Councils an~ the
Board of Public Education, from whom the Academy
Schools received an ann lial appr~priation of $ 5000,

On February , 14, . 1902, a reading of "Anthony and Lectures &
Cleopatra" was generously given by Dr. Horace Howard Receptions,
,Furness, in Gallery F, under the auspices of the Academy Etc.
Fellowship.
On March 20, Mr. W. M. Chase spoke in the ' Lecture
Room on "Great Portrait Painters of the World." This
lecture was given through the helpful service of the
Academy Fellowship, and was largely attended by art
students. '
For the current season the Academy Fello~ship has
announced a seri'es of lectures on ' " Costume," the fi rst of
which was delivered by Mr. John McLure Hamilton,
in the Print Room, on December I.
On January 19, Dr. Horace Howard Furness again
read frpm Shakespeare, under the auspices, of the
Academy Fellowship, ·in Gallery ,F . The play selected
was "The Merchant of Venice," which was listened to
by an unusually large audience;
The year has been marked by the loss of three associates in the work of the Academy, whose serVlce was
given with liberal devotion.
On March 2, 1902, Dr. Francis W. Lewis died, after
serving 'as a member of the Board of Directors from
1869 to 1871, and again from 1891 to the ;date of his
death. He was, at that time, Chairman of the Committee .
on Exhibitio~, a post he had filled for several , years
with notable efficiency. He is recorded as having been
part of every forward m()vement in the career of the
•

Institution so well loved by him, and as giving support
and wise counsel even · in the rare instances where his
own preference was not wholly enlisted. His serene.
character and his knowledge of art went hand in hand
for the betterment of every branch of the Academy's
work; and to him were due many valuable additions to
the collections of the Institution and to the Library.
The paintings received from his Estate have already
been referred to in this Report.
The death of Charles Hare Hutchinson in Paris, on
October 3, 1902, deprived the Board of Directors of a
member whose service was both substantial and constant.
. The following minute fmm the records of the Academy
will serve as an estimate of the esteem in which he was
held by thos~ with whom he had so long and faithfully
labored:
"Mr. Hutchinson, who came into the Board
in I S86, took an active part in its affairs, and
an earnest interest in the welfare of the Institution, from that time until the end of his life.
He was for many years a ~ember of the Committee on Exhibition, and at the time of his
death was its Chairman. He served for fourteen years on the Committee on Instruction.
Through his liberality the Academy has been
enabled to offer its students, annually since
189 I, a Travelling Scholarship, to be awarded
on competitive examination. His donations
to the Library of the Institution have been
numerous and valuable. Mention should also
be made of his gift of a set of the prints published by the Arundel Society of London.
"Mr. Hutchinson had command of suffi-

cient leisure -to take a personal. share in the
work of the committees on \vhich he served,
and he was very regular in his attendance on
their . meetings; as well as at those of the
Board. To all these duties he brought a clear
and practical judgment which gave great value
to his counsels, while his uniform courtesy and
good feeling endeared him to those called
upon to act with him. The members of the
Board feel that his death has deprived them
not only of an esteemed colleague, but of a
personal friend."
The death of Walter Cope took place on October 3 I,
1902, and in recording this lamentable event it is felt
that the Academy
and the whole. country have suffered
.
iiTeparable loss. He was a pupil of the Academy
Schools who had risen to the first rank in his profession
of Architecture, and was, at the time of his death, a
member of the Architectural Faculty of the Academy
Schools. Important and beautiful college buildings at
Bryn Mawr, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania will remain as enduring monuments of his talent.
The general statement of the Treasurer to · December
3 I, 1902, and the profit and loss acco~nt, are submitted
in theJollowing pages. From these, it will be seen that
the Academy's receipts have been $25,080-48, and the
disbursements, $26,256. 17, resulting in a net loss of
$1175. 6 9.
To Mrs. Joseph W. Drexel'tl;1e Management acknowledges its- grateful appreciation of her liberal addition of
$3000 to the Endowment Fund, a very important factor
in the continued work and progress of the Institution.

Ninety-sixth Annual Report
Through the past year the Academy received from
thirteen subscribers the sum of $ I 00 each, entitling
• them to Life Membership, and making the total num!;>er
of Life Members sixty-five. Two :hundred and seventyfour Annual Members have contributed $10 each during
the year. Both these classes of Membership. are growing year by year, but in a community
large and
intelligent 'as that of Philadelphia there should be many
more who care to enroll themselves as supporters of the
elevating work of the Academy, and it is hoped that the
list may approach at no distant day the liberal numbers
of other American cities.
as
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 Acad~ my ,during the year 1902.

THE NINETY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT.
THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS,
FEBRUARY 3, 1902, TO FEBRUARY 2, 1903~
VH~W of the progress recorded in the
following pages, the President and Board
of Directors of the Penn,s ylvania Acad, emy of the Fine Arts have satisfaction
in submitting this, the ninety-sixth
Annual Report, to the Stockholders.
N
A career covering ninety-six years of our brief
national history de'n otes unusual age coupled with undiminished energy. This is shown , in the constant adjustment of the life of the Academy to the growing
ideals of native art, and displays itself alike in the Annual
Exhibitions, which have now assumed the position of an
American Salon, and in the development of the Schools, '
from which have recently arisen the most successful of
the younger men and women in the field of Illustration,
The most significant events of the past year are connected with the Schools. Two end0wments of signal
importance have been received, marking with emphasis the increased interest in art education which is
apparent throughout the cou·ntry, Of these, the bequests
of the late Emlen and Priscilla p, Cresson to found the
William Emlen Cresson Prize Memorial Fund, devoted
to scholarships for travel and study q,broad, is, perhaps,
the largest single endowment applied to instruction in
the Fine Arts which has been recorded. The other
foundation is that established by Mr, Henry], Thouron,

for the past twelve . years the honored Instructor of
Composition in the Academy Schools. Mr. Thouron
has given a fund of $32 50 for the perpetuation of three
annual prizes in the branch where his work as an
Instructor has been so effective. Another foundation
emanating from the School~ during the year is the
Jennie Sesnan Gold Medal, to be awat'ded in the Annual
Exhibitions ,to the best landscape. This is the gift of
Miss ' Elizabeth W. Roberts, once a student of the
Academy. The design of the medal is by H., Lyman
Sayen, and i~ . the result of a cOmpetition in the Schools
for prize awarded through the liberality of Miss Roberts.
a
"t'he Academy owes to the LIfe and Annual ,Members
both substantial and morale'n couragement, and it countS
among the ' most hopeful signs for the future of art in
Philadelphia and ; 111 the country at large this generous
support.
The Management is also grateful to the intelligent cooperation oJ the press of the country, which has shown
discriminating interest in the efforts of the Institution
for a more general , acknowledgment or' the claims of
the Fine Arts, To such interest must be credited, in
s~me degree,the 'enlarged attendance throughout the
year as well as ~he increased purchase of works from
th~ annual displays, which patronage stands at the foundation of ~very successful ' exhibition,

The full recognition by the press and public of the
high character of this exhibition indicates its quality.
From many sides approvat in no stinted measure has
been received. This.is due primarily to the advance
of the whole body of American painting and sculpture.
Without new impulses and the fulfilment of high aims,
the Management would be lacking in material to form
so splendid an exhibition. The Aqdemy is also indebted to many collectors of American works, whose
growth in number is one of the encouraging symptoms
-in contemporary art.

expected that they will further develop the branch of
Composition which, under Mr. Thouron's teaching, has
reached 'great thoroughn ~ss. It is recorded as very
gratifying _ to the Management thus to connect per-

manently Mr. Thouron's name with the work he has so
faithfully carried forward.
The claims of Architecture as a sister art with Painting
and Sculpture have been given recognition . during the
year past by the establishment of a School of Archi•
tecture as a branch of the Academy Schools. The
equipment of the atelier was prepared with the cooperation of Messrs. Frank Miles Day, Wilson Eyre,
Edgar V. Seeler, and the late Walter Cope, who, with
characteristic interest in the cause of this branch, volunteered their services as Instructors. The aim of this
School is to afford instruction in advanced design to
those only who. shall have gained proficiency in one of
the established Schools of Architecture, with certain
experience as draughtsmen in actual service.
The
experiment has been a successful one, both in the
number of students matriculated and in the work thus
far accomplished.
The sixty free scholarships awarded in the Academy
Schools to students of the Public Schools of Philadelphia,
under an agreement with the City Councils an~ the
Board of Public Education, from whom the Academy
Schools received an ann lial appr~priation of $ 5000,
have been filled with entire satisfaction through the
year past, and the fruits of this wise arrangement-are
made evident by the constant engagement of those thus
trained, In ~ducational work of a kindred nature, both
in public and private schools.

Academy Schools to the exhi~itions and studios in New
York was repeated on April 4.

On March 2, 1902, Dr. Francis W. Lewis died, after
serving 'as a member of the Board of Directors from
1869 to 1871, and again from 1891 to the ;date of his
death. He was, at that time, Chairman of the Committee .

with notable efficiency. He is recorded as having been
part of every forward m()vement in the career of the

Institution so well loved by him, and as giving support
and wise counsel even · in the rare instances where his
own preference was not wholly enlisted. His serene.
character and his knowledge of art went hand in hand
for the betterment of every branch of the Academy's
work; and to him were due many valuable additions to
the collections of the Institution and to the Library.
The paintings received from his Estate have already
been referred to in this Report.
The death of Charles Hare Hutchinson in Paris, on
October 3, 1902, deprived the Board of Directors of a
member whose service was both substantial and constant.
. The following minute fmm the records of the Academy
will serve as an estimate of the esteem in which he was
held by thos~ with whom he had so long and faithfully
labored:
"Mr. Hutchinson, who came into the Board
in I S86, took an active part in its affairs, and
an earnest interest in the welfare of the Institution, from that time until the end of his life.
He was for many years a ~ember of the Committee on Exhibition, and at the time of his
death was its Chairman. He served for fourteen years on the Committee on Instruction.
Through his liberality the Academy has been
enabled to offer its students, annually since
189 I, a Travelling Scholarship, to be awarded
on competitive examination. His donations
to the Library of the Institution have been
numerous and valuable. Mention should also
be made of his gift of a set of the prints published by the Arundel Society of London.
"Mr. Hutchinson had command of suffi-

cient leisure -to take a personal. share in the
work of the committees on \vhich he served,
and he was very regular in his attendance on
their . meetings; as well as at those of the
Board. To all these duties he brought a clear
and practical judgment which gave great value
to his counsels, while his uniform courtesy and
good feeling endeared him to those called
upon to act with him. The members of the
Board feel that his death has deprived them
not only of an esteemed colleague, but of a
personal friend."
The death of Walter Cope took place on October 3 I,
1902, and in recording this lamentable event it is felt
that the Academy
and the whole. country have suffered
.
iiTeparable loss. He was a pupil of the Academy
Schools who had risen to the first rank in his profession
of Architecture, and was, at the time of his death, a
member of the Architectural Faculty of the Academy
Schools. Important and beautiful college buildings at
Bryn Mawr, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania will remain as enduring monuments of his talent.
The general statement of the Treasurer to · December
3 I, 1902, and the profit and loss acco~nt, are submitted
in theJollowing pages. From these, it will be seen that
the Academy's receipts have been $25,080-48, and the
disbursements, $26,256. 17, resulting in a net loss of
$1175. 6 9.
To Mrs. Joseph W. Drexel'tl;1e Management acknowledges its- grateful appreciation of her liberal addition of
$3000 to the Endowment Fund, a very important factor
in the continued work and progress of the Institution.
