these classes.
The school will be open from 5 P. M. to 10 P. M.
every week-day.
The Directors of the Academy will devote
part of the Cresson Fund for Foreign Scholarships (see page 10) to students in the Architectural School, one or more travelling scholarships being awarded at the end of each school
year to students who may commend themselves
to the Faculty and the Directors by their work
in the Schoo! during the year.
All applications for admission and for promotion to higher classes will be acted upon by
the Faculty, with the concurrence of the Committee on Instruction, at the regular meetings
held on the Thursday before the last \ Vednesday of each month, excepting the months of
June, July, and August. All admissions and
promotions are on probation and subject to
reconsideration at the discretion of the Faculty. Before making application to the Faculty
for transfer from one class to another, students
must secure approval of such application from
the instructor of the class in which they are
working.
9
Pupils may enter the schools at any time
during the season, but are not permanently
assigned to classes until the first Faculty
meeting after their entrance.
All applications must be on file the day before the meeting of the Faculty.
It is an imperative rule that all work submitted
for examination for any purpose must be signed,
otherwise it will not be considered.

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 $1000 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 b;
the holder of the Scholarship.
The work required each month in the Academy Schools from students in PaintinO" 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 C01lC01WS of both
the Antique and the Life and Head Courses will
also be required from students in Painting and
Sculpture as follows: Drawing from the Figure
on paper of Academy size, Painting from Head,
Modelling from 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 Night 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 privileges or rates of tuition accorded to those taking the full course.
During the second term general Co?tcours
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 1902-1903, 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 Tappan prizes for the year 19021903 will be, respectively, $500 and $200.
These prizes were established in 188r by the
gift of Mrs. Charles Toppan, Miss Harriette R.
Toppan, and Mr. Robert N. Tappan.
