SCH O LARSHIPS.
By the terms of the wills of Emlen Cresson
and Priscilla P. Cresson, a Fund bas been
created as a Memorial 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 1903-1904, the Academy
will thus have at its disposal a number of
Travelling Scholarships for awan!ls to students
of the Schools, in Painting and Sculpture and
in Architecture.
It is expected that five of these Scholarships
of $1000 each will be awarded in May, 1904.
The Scholarships will be g ra nted for two years,
and the term may be extended for a third year,
this being dependent on the resu lts attained and
shown 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 he
ineligible.
Painters will be required to present work each
month in Composition, in drawing or painting
from the Figure, in drawing or painting from
the Head; and to participate in the Concours
and examinations as set forth below.
Sculptors will be required to present each
month work done in the Life Modelling Class
II
and a composition in clay or wax. They
are required to participate in the ConcoU1'S and
exami nations as set forth below.
The requirements for the Night Classes are
the same as for the Day Classes, but Night Students will not be required to present drawings
from the Head, except in the COllconrs, which
for th e m will be held at night. There will be no
Still·life COllconrs for night students.
Participation in the annual COllcoltrs of both
the Antique and the Life and Head Courses will
also be required from students in Painting and
Scu lpture as follows: Drawing from the Figure
on paper of Academy size, Painting from H ead,
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 Charles Toppan prizes for the year 19031904 will be, respectively, $500 and $200.
These prizes were established in 1881 by the
gift of !\Irs. Charles Toppan, !\Iiss Harriette R.
Toppan, andl\lr. Robert N. Toppan.
The prizes will be awarded only to students
who have worked regularl y in the Academy
Schools for at least two years, one of which
must be the year of the competition.

To the Art Student
N presenting the Circular
for the Ninety-Eighth
year of the Pennsylvania
Academy Schools, particular
attention is called to the
unusual amount to be distributed in Prizes at the end
of the season. (See pages
10 to 14). These awards are
not equalled by those of
any other art school in this
country, and are open without restriction or limitation
to all members of the Academy Schools. The higher
average of school work produced by the influx of good
's tudents extends the benefits
of the prizes not only to the
recipients but to every pupil
in attendance.
