The Directors of the Academy will devote

year to students who may commend themselves
to the Faculty and the Directors by their work

Pupils may enter the schools at any time

leged to work without extra charge in all the
classes of the schools, including the evening
classes.
Day Antique Course students may work in
the Night Antique Classes without extra charge.
It is expected that five of these Scholarships
of $rooo each will be awarded in May, 1903.
The Scholarships will be granted for two years,
and the term may be extended for a third year,
this being dependent on the results attained by
the holder of the Scholarship.
The work required each month in the Academy Schools from students in Painting and
Sculpture will be the principal factor in determining the award of these Scholarships. Candidates failing to submit such work will be
ineligible.
Participation in the annual COIlCOIt1'S of both
the Antique and the Life and Head Courses ,,·ill
also be required from students in Painting and
Sculpture as follows: Drawing from the Figure
on paper of Academy size, Painting from Head,
Modelling fron1 Life, Composition, Drawing
from Cast, and Painting from Still-life. In the
cases of Perspective and Anatomy, there will be
examinations by the Instructors of these classes.
In the School of Architecture the awards
will be based on work in the Life or Antique
Courses as well as upon the Problems in Design.
The Tight Life Modelling Classes will be
continued unless the attendance should fall
below six in any class.
Students desiring partial courses, including
one or more of the above classes, will be required to make a special application to the
Faculty; but in this case they will not be entitled to the prh'ileges or rates of tuition accorded to those taking the full course.
During the second term general COilC01WS
will be held in all the regular classes on successive dates to be announced.
By the terms of the wills of Emlen Cresson, of
Philadelphia, and his wife, Priscilla P. Cresson,
a Fund has been created as a Memorial Fund
to their deceased son, William Emlen Cresson,
Academician, the income of which is to be
applied by The Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts in sending pupils of merit of the said
Corporation to Europe to study art.
For the school year of I902-I903, the Academy
will thus have at its disposal a number of
Travelling Scholarships for award to students
of the Schools in Painting and Sculpture and in
Architecture.
The Charles Toppan prizes for the year 19021903 will be, respectively, $500 and $200.
These prizes were established in I88I by the
gift of Mrs. Charles Toppan, Miss Harriette R.
Toppan, and Mr. Robert N. Toppan.

who have worked regularly in the Academy
