T
HE special and primary object of the Schools of the
Academy is to afford facilities and instruction of the
highest order to men or women who intend to make
painting or sculpture their profession.
Secondarily: To extend, as far as possible, the same
benefits, as a foundation, to engravers, die-sinkers, illustrators, decorators, wood-carvers, stone-cutters, lithographers,
photographers, etc., who have always been largely represented
in the schools. No advantages but those of pure art education are offered to them, they learning outside, wi th masters,
in the workshop or in technical schools, the mechanical parts
of their art or trade.
Lastly: To let amateurs profit by the same facilities.
'iVhen the classes are crowded, preference in admission
will be given to applicants in the order above indicated.
A course of Anatomical lectures is gi\-en, and also a
series of lessons in Perspective and in Composition.
The hours being arranged so as not to interfere with
each other, every student in the Life Classes has an opportunity of modeling in clay, as well as of painting from the nude.
This combination is an essentia l feature of the course.
The Portrait Class, for the study of the draped figure,
is open to all such pupils as are judged to be sufficiently
ad\·anced.
Life Class students alone will be admitted to the dissecti ng room; and the .same restriction applies to the modeli ng
room at the hours assigned for modeling from the !i\'ing figure.
Admission to the Portrait Class can he obtained by
persons not students in the Academy, by application to the
Superin tendent.
Admission of Students
The Committee \\'ill act upon applications for admission
on the last "Wednesday in every month, excepting May, June,
July and August. All applications should be on file the day
before the meeting.
Each applicant for admission to the Antique Classes mnst
submit a specimen of his or her work, signed with full name
and address. Drawings must represent the whole or part of
the human figure, and must he made from the solid object.
They must be executed expressly for the purpose.
Students will be transferred from the Antiquc to the
Life Classes upon recommendation of the Instructors, and
upon the approval by the Committee of a drawing or drawings executed by them in the Academy, and representing the
entire human figure. Such drawings must he upon paper
measuring at least 18 x 24 inches, and signed with full name.
The Life Classes can he entered in no other way,
except in the ca<;e of those who have previollsly belonged to
them; or by those who can gi\'e satisfactory proof that they
l~a\ e been member~ of Life Classes in other recognized Art
~choob, and who at the same time submit a specimen of their
pre\'ious work.
The Composition Class will meet on the last Friday of
each month, when drawings illustrative of the subject previously announced will be submitted, and a lecture or informal
criticism will be gi \·en.
Dr. George McClellan will begi n his course of lectures
on Art Anatomy on Monday, Novemher 7th, at fi\'e o'clock.
These lectures will be gi\'en regularly e\'ery Monday
afternoon at fi\'e 0' clock throughout the winter. They will
be illustrated by diagrams, preparations. models, photographs
and extempore drawings on the blackboard.
In addition to the lectures, dem onstrati ons to advanced
studen ts wi 11 be gi ven on the Ii vi ng model in the Li fe Classes
by Dr. McClellan.
Admission to these lectures mar be obtained by those
not members of the classes of the Acadenw, for a fee of Ten
Dollars.
Other lectures will be gi ven by well-known artists and
competent teachers, as may be arranged by the Committee
during the year.

Committee, is open to all studen t. in the se\'eral classes,
and a regular attendance is reguired.
