THE NINETY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT .
THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS ,
FEBRUARY
I,
1904, TO FEBRUARY 6, 1905.
HE Hundredth year of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts is marked
by the issue of the Ninety-eighth Annual Report. The apparent contradiction between the actual age of the
Academy, which was founded in 1805,
and the number of the present Annual Report, is due
to the fact that the Charter was not obtained until 1806.
To the Stockholders and to the -growing number of
those interested in the aims of the Academy, this report
is tendered as evidence of work accomplished and of
steadfast ideals.
Foremost among the events of the past year has ' been
the recent opening of the One H unclredth Anniversary
Exhibition, whose scope includes much that recalls the
distinguished founders of the Academy. . It is' intended
that the proposed Gallery of National Portraiture shall
remain as a pe-r manent -outgrowth of this centennial
9
..
Ninety-eighth Annual Report
10
year, and in token of this sentiment the following
announcement by circular has been issued:
"No human documents are of greater interest than the portraits of the men and women
who have ·given distinction and character to
the nation. These, painted by the greatest
·artists of their time, and preserved in the art
museums of the world, are among .its most
valuable possessions. For·the English-speaking
race the National Portrait Gallery in London
is a conservatory of noble names, of enduring
fame, and of historic associations which appeal
profoundly to every student and observer.
At the close of its first hundred years, and
with the opening of its second century, the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts proposes to inaugurate
THE
GALLERY
OF
NATIONAL
PORTRAITURE
as a department or section of its general Exhibition.
Beginning with the portraits of
Washington, Franklin, Morris, Clymer, Hopkinson, and l\:'Iadison, and with the works of
West, Stuart, Vanderlyn, Peale, Rush, Inman,
and Sully, alreagy in its possession, the Academy aims first to add to and extend the series
of portraits of the founders and .makers of the
Republic, of the State of Pennsylvania, and of
the City of Philadelphia, and of men and
women notable in American literature, science,
the arts, and social life. Second, it is proposed to include in the permanent Gallery
portraits of those of any other country or
The Academy of the Fine Arts
11
state who have been eminent in the history or
affairs of the United States, or whose achievement or service to the world has given universal reputation.
A personal interest in the project is invited,
and for its accomplishment the Academy asks
the co-operation by gift or bequest, not alone
. of those who have built up and endowed the
Institution, but of all the citiiens of the
Commonwealth who believe that the fitting
commemoration of the best and greatest in
past eras is the glory and inspiration of our
own, and who recognize that in its strength,
sincerity, and beauty the art of a nation is the
measure of its civilization.
In special cases an arrangement may be
made with the Committee on Exhibition for
the loan and deposit, either for . a specified
time or indefinitely, of family portraits of
especial interest or distinction.
Acceptance
and confirmation by the Board of Directors of
a portrait given and transferred to the Academy will provide for its care and exhibition in
perpetuity in the present rooms of the Institution or in the Galleries which may hereafter
be erected."
In view of the abundant support offered the art institutions of other American cities through the contributions of Life and Annual Members, it has been felt that
more vigorous efforts should be made by the Academy
to interest those through whom its efforts for taste and
Ninety-eighth Annual Report
12
beauty could best be diffused. While cordial thanks are
therefore offered to the present subscribers, it is hoped
that this honor list may be much increased during the
year to come.
The summer season was devoted to a thorough renovation of the Schools. They are now equipped and
cared for in accordance with the most modern principles
and are pronounced by visitors f~om other art centres as
perhaps the most .adequate school-rooms in the country.
The traditional method of instruction by the Academy
has always tended toward the development of individual
talent, and the value of this system is shown by the
increasing number of students who take rank as artists.
Towards this end the value of the William Emlen
Cresson . Prize Memorial Fund for Travelling Scholarships has become increasingly effective.
Without the continued aid and encouragement of the
press of the City of Philadelphia and of the entire
country. it would be impossible to attain the best results
from the work attempted, and it is therefore due to this
powerful agent of intelligence that thanks should be
rendered for efficient co-operation.
The Permanent Collections of the Academy have
received the following ·additions during the year

The distinguishing feature of this exhibition is the
comprehensive display of work by artists who have lent
honor in the past to the Institution, as Founders, as
Academicians or Associates, as Instructors or as Students.
Examples of the earlier work of this character from
Charles Wilson Peale to Schuessle and Uhle are grouped
in Gallery B and the adjoining South Transept; but the
extent to which American art is indebted to the Academy is made evident by the eptries throught the cata':
logue speci(ving the connection of the artist with the
Institution. Out of a total of eight hundred and eightysix works included in the exhibition, there are three
hundred and thirty-four thus . originating, as shown
the blue star affixed, to each.

In an effort to unite the institutions affording instruction in the higher branches of Architecture, it was
arranged that the Academy, the University of Pennsyl-
The
Schools
22
Ninety-eighth Annual Report
vania, and the T-Square Club should join hands in the
formation of a class to be known as the T-Square Atalier
of The Pennsylvania' Academy of the Fine Arts. To
. this the Academy has contributed a class-room a~d its
equipment, with the opportunity to participate in a
competition for one of the Cresson Travelling Scholarships of $IOOO a year. The University has permitted
its Instructor, Mr. Paul Phillippe Cret to criticise the
work- of the classs, and the T-Square Club has offered
its rooms for certain of the work which can best be
pursued there. The combination ,promises satisfactory
results and marks a united effort in education which is
most significant for Philadelphia.
Awards under the foundation known as the William
Emlen Cresson Prize Memorial Fund were made at the
end of the School term in May, I 904. It was deemed
serviceable, both to the Academy and to its students,
that instead of confining the awards to the usual number
of Scholarships of $ 1000 for two years, there should be
two classes of awards, namely: Long term scholarships
carrying $ IOOO each for a period of one year or more,
and short term scholarships carrying $ 500 each for a
period of four months from June to September, inclusive,
thus enabling the student to avail himself of travel during the summer vacation, but stipulating that he should
return for regular study in the Schools and become a
competitor for the long term scholarships. The awards
made under these conditions were as follows:
In the department of Painting, long term scholarships, to:
Alice V. Corson,
Charles F. Ramsey,
Morris Molarsky.
The Academy of the Fine Arts

In the department of Sculpture, long term scholar- ..

In the department of Painting. short term scholarships, to:
. Ada Williamson,
F. Hutton Shill.
In the department of Sculpture, short term scholarships, to:
Victor H. Zoll,
Mary P. ~iddleton .
In recognition of the progress made by a former
scholarship student, whose health had been impaired,
but whose work has found acceptance in the Salon, a
special Cresson Scholarship of 'If, 500 was awarded to:
John

generosity bf ' Henry J. Thouron, formin Composition, an additional prize in
$25 annually for the best work on abthemes, was founded.
The prizes previously established through the generous action of Mr. Thouron, were awarded as follows:
For the best group of compositions on subjects given
to the class during the current season. Prize of $50,
awarded by the Faculty, to :

For general progress in Composition Class work
during the current season. Prize of $ 50, awarded by
the Instructor of the class, to :

The fifth award of the Edmund Stewardson Prize of
$100, in Sculpture, was made by a Jury consisting of
Bessie Potter Vonnoh, J. Massey Rhind and Frank
,Stephens, to whom acknowledgments are due, to:
Louis J. Million.
Honorable mention to P. L. Little.
The prize for work · at the , Zoological Garden, established through the liberality of Dr. John H. Packard,
Chairman of the Committee on Instruction, was
awarded to:
William K. Sweeney.
Honorable mention to Frederick Weygold.
Thus at the end of the School Year in May, 19°4,
including the continuance of five previous scholarships,
under the Cressen Foundation, at $1000 each, the
Academy awarded a grand total of $18,450 in scholarships and prizes, an amount hitherto unprecedented in
the records of an art institution.
Experience having proven that it would be wise to secure some trained supervision for the students holding
The Academy of the Fine Arts
25
Cresson -Scholarships who are .e stablished in or passing
through Paris, it was · decided to invite Mr. Walter
MacEwen, the distinguished American artist, resident at
the French Capital, to become Counsellor under the
Cresson Foundation. This office Mr. MacEwen has
now assumed, and his supervision of the students is
proving' most satisfactory.
During the year a visit to many European Art
Schools was made, under authority of the Board, by
Dr. Herbert M. Howe,one of its members, whose
report, upon -returning, indicated the superiority in
space, in facilities and in organization of the Academy's
Schools over those which he visited abroad.
An exhibit of the work of the students was installed
in the Educational Building of the World's Fair at St.
Louis, and won a "Grand Prize" in competition with
the leading Art Schools of the country.
The loss of the services of Edgar V. Seeler from the
Department of Architecture is regretted, and ' thanks
are returned to him for his disinterested and effective
work.
The sixty free scholarships which the Academy tenders to the City of Philadelphia under an annual appropriation of $5000, received jointly from City Councils
and the Board of Education, were maintained through
the year with favorable results.
The thanks of the
Academy are returned . for this assistance in an educational venture \~hich is of mutual value, as the students
thus equipped for the teaching of art in many cases
return as teachers to public and other schools.

THE NINETY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT .
THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS ,
FEBRUARY
I,
1904, TO FEBRUARY 6, 1905.
HE Hundredth year of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts is marked
by the issue of the Ninety-eighth Annual Report. The apparent contradiction between the actual age of the
Academy, which was founded in 1805,
and the number of the present Annual Report, is due
to the fact that the Charter was not obtained until 1806.
To the Stockholders and to the -growing number of
those interested in the aims of the Academy, this report
is tendered as evidence of work accomplished and of
steadfast ideals.
Foremost among the events of the past year has ' been
the recent opening of the One H unclredth Anniversary
Exhibition, whose scope includes much that recalls the
distinguished founders of the Academy. . It is' intended
that the proposed Gallery of National Portraiture shall
remain as a pe-r manent -outgrowth of this centennial
9
..
Ninety-eighth Annual Report
10
year, and in token of this sentiment the following
announcement by circular has been issued:
"No human documents are of greater interest than the portraits of the men and women
who have ·given distinction and character to
the nation. These, painted by the greatest
·artists of their time, and preserved in the art
museums of the world, are among .its most
valuable possessions. For·the English-speaking
race the National Portrait Gallery in London
is a conservatory of noble names, of enduring
fame, and of historic associations which appeal
profoundly to every student and observer.
At the close of its first hundred years, and
with the opening of its second century, the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts proposes to inaugurate
THE
GALLERY
OF
NATIONAL
PORTRAITURE
as a department or section of its general Exhibition.
Beginning with the portraits of
Washington, Franklin, Morris, Clymer, Hopkinson, and l\:'Iadison, and with the works of
West, Stuart, Vanderlyn, Peale, Rush, Inman,
and Sully, alreagy in its possession, the Academy aims first to add to and extend the series
of portraits of the founders and .makers of the
Republic, of the State of Pennsylvania, and of
the City of Philadelphia, and of men and
women notable in American literature, science,
the arts, and social life. Second, it is proposed to include in the permanent Gallery
portraits of those of any other country or
The Academy of the Fine Arts
11
state who have been eminent in the history or
affairs of the United States, or whose achievement or service to the world has given universal reputation.
A personal interest in the project is invited,
and for its accomplishment the Academy asks
the co-operation by gift or bequest, not alone
. of those who have built up and endowed the
Institution, but of all the citiiens of the
Commonwealth who believe that the fitting
commemoration of the best and greatest in
past eras is the glory and inspiration of our
own, and who recognize that in its strength,
sincerity, and beauty the art of a nation is the
measure of its civilization.
In special cases an arrangement may be
made with the Committee on Exhibition for
the loan and deposit, either for . a specified
time or indefinitely, of family portraits of
especial interest or distinction.
Acceptance
and confirmation by the Board of Directors of
a portrait given and transferred to the Academy will provide for its care and exhibition in
perpetuity in the present rooms of the Institution or in the Galleries which may hereafter
be erected."
In view of the abundant support offered the art institutions of other American cities through the contributions of Life and Annual Members, it has been felt that
more vigorous efforts should be made by the Academy
to interest those through whom its efforts for taste and
Ninety-eighth Annual Report
12
beauty could best be diffused. While cordial thanks are
therefore offered to the present subscribers, it is hoped
that this honor list may be much increased during the
year to come.
The summer season was devoted to a thorough renovation of the Schools. They are now equipped and
cared for in accordance with the most modern principles
and are pronounced by visitors f~om other art centres as
perhaps the most .adequate school-rooms in the country.
The traditional method of instruction by the Academy
has always tended toward the development of individual
talent, and the value of this system is shown by the
increasing number of students who take rank as artists.
Towards this end the value of the William Emlen
Cresson . Prize Memorial Fund for Travelling Scholarships has become increasingly effective.
Without the continued aid and encouragement of the
press of the City of Philadelphia and of the entire
country. it would be impossible to attain the best results
from the work attempted, and it is therefore due to this
powerful agent of intelligence that thanks should be
rendered for efficient co-operation.
The Permanent Collections of the Academy have
received the following ·additions during the year

The distinguishing feature of this exhibition is the
comprehensive display of work by artists who have lent
honor in the past to the Institution, as Founders, as
Academicians or Associates, as Instructors or as Students.
Examples of the earlier work of this character from
Charles Wilson Peale to Schuessle and Uhle are grouped
in Gallery B and the adjoining South Transept; but the
extent to which American art is indebted to the Academy is made evident by the eptries throught the cata':
logue speci(ving the connection of the artist with the
Institution. Out of a total of eight hundred and eightysix works included in the exhibition, there are three
hundred and thirty-four thus . originating, as shown
the blue star affixed, to each.

The exhibition includes seven examples of the portraiture of John Singer Sargent, each of ·uncommon
interest, but that of Lady Ian Hamilton has been ac-

work- of the classs, and the T-Square Club has offered
its rooms for certain of the work which can best be
pursued there. The combination ,promises satisfactory
results and marks a united effort in education which is
most significant for Philadelphia.
Awards under the foundation known as the William
Emlen Cresson Prize Memorial Fund were made at the
end of the School term in May, I 904. It was deemed
serviceable, both to the Academy and to its students,
that instead of confining the awards to the usual number
of Scholarships of $ 1000 for two years, there should be
two classes of awards, namely: Long term scholarships
carrying $ IOOO each for a period of one year or more,
and short term scholarships carrying $ 500 each for a
period of four months from June to September, inclusive,
thus enabling the student to avail himself of travel during the summer vacation, but stipulating that he should
return for regular study in the Schools and become a
competitor for the long term scholarships. The awards
made under these conditions were as follows:
In the department of Painting, long term scholarships, to:
Alice V. Corson,
Charles F. Ramsey,
Morris Molarsky.
The Academy of the Fine Arts

In the department of Sculpture, long term scholar- ..

In the department of Painting. short term scholarships, to:

In the department of Sculpture, short term scholarships, to:
Victor H. Zoll,
Mary P. ~iddleton .
In recognition of the progress made by a former

but whose work has found acceptance in the Salon, a
special Cresson Scholarship of 'If, 500 was awarded to:
John

generosity bf ' Henry J. Thouron, formin Composition, an additional prize in

The prize for work · at the , Zoological Garden, established through the liberality of Dr. John H. Packard,

awarded to:

Thus at the end of the School Year in May, 19°4,
including the continuance of five previous scholarships,
under the Cressen Foundation, at $1000 each, the
Academy awarded a grand total of $18,450 in scholarships and prizes, an amount hitherto unprecedented in
the records of an art institution.
Experience having proven that it would be wise to secure some trained supervision for the students holding
The Academy of the Fine Arts
25
Cresson -Scholarships who are .e stablished in or passing
through Paris, it was · decided to invite Mr. Walter
MacEwen, the distinguished American artist, resident at
the French Capital, to become Counsellor under the
Cresson Foundation. This office Mr. MacEwen has
now assumed, and his supervision of the students is
proving' most satisfactory.
During the year a visit to many European Art
Schools was made, under authority of the Board, by
Dr. Herbert M. Howe,one of its members, whose
report, upon -returning, indicated the superiority in
space, in facilities and in organization of the Academy's
Schools over those which he visited abroad.
An exhibit of the work of the students was installed
in the Educational Building of the World's Fair at St.
Louis, and won a "Grand Prize" in competition with
the leading Art Schools of the country.
The loss of the services of Edgar V. Seeler from the
Department of Architecture is regretted, and ' thanks
are returned to him for his disinterested and effective
work.
The sixty free scholarships which the Academy tenders to the City of Philadelphia under an annual appropriation of $5000, received jointly from City Councils
and the Board of Education, were maintained through
the year with favorable results.
The thanks of the
Academy are returned . for this assistance in an educational venture \~hich is of mutual value, as the students
thus equipped for the teaching of art in many cases
return as teachers to public and other schools.
