Members of the architectural course desiring
to take part in the competitions of the New
York Society of Beaux Arts Architects will be at
liberty to send the ir work there for judgment
and award.
By arrangemen t with the Managing Committee of the John Stewardson Scholarship in
Architecture, the problem for the competition
for that scholarship will be identical in time and
subject with one of the more important problems of the Academy's course, so that students
of that course, if otherwise properly qualified
for the Stewardson competition, may take part
therein by simply performing their regular work.
It is also expected that arrangements will be
made by which the graduates of the School of
Architecture of the University of Pennsylvania,
who are students in the Academy course, may
take part in the competition for the Alumni
Fellowship by submitting in competition one of
the regular problems of the Academy course.
All students must e nroll at the Pennsylvania

By the terms of the wills of Emlen Cresson
and Priscilla P. Cresson, a Fund has 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.
Under this foundation, during the past three
years the Academy has sent abroad for study
twenty-four pupils for terms varying from four
months to two years.
For the school year of 1905-1906, the Academy
will have at its disposal a number of Travelling
Scholarships for awards to students of the
Schools, in Painting, Sculpture, and Architectural Design.
These will consist of Long-term and Shortterm Scholarships, the number of each to be
determined by circumstances. The Long-term
Scholarships will be for the period of one year
or more; the Short-term Scholarships will be
for a period of four months, from June to September, inclusive.
Of the Short-term Scholarships it is a condition
that students shall return to the Academy for
regular study during the fo!lowing school year,
when it is expected that they will again be competitors for Cresson Scholarships.

COURSE IN
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
•
With the co-operation of the University of Pennsylvania and the
T -Square Club, the class in Architectural Design, established in 1904,
and known as the T -Square Atelier of the Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts, will be continued. Prof. Paul Phillippe Cret will give
regular criticisms throughout the season.
The work of the students in this course will consist chiefly of problems in design, but drawing from the antique or life will also be
required. Modelling and Perspective may be included if desired.
For the convenience of students who are members of the T -Square
Club, all work in Architectural Design, other than nine-hour sketches,
may be done at the T -Square Club House. Students of this course
who are not members of the T -Square Club will have facilities for
doing their work in Architectural Design at the Academy or the Universityas they may elect. The following work will be done at the
Academy: Drawing from the Antique or Life, Modelling, Perspective,
•
and in Architectural Design, all nine-hour sketches.
The class is divided into two sections:
The First Section consists of those who, while not mere beginners,
are still unprepared for advanced work. Admission to the First Section
will be obtained by the submission of satisfactory examples of work
to the Faculty.
The Second Section wiIl consist of students who have been promoted from the First Section, or who have been admitted directly as

For the school year of 1905- 1906 , the Academy will have at its
disposal a number of Travelling Scholarships for awards to students
of the Schools in Painting, Sculpture, and Architectural Design.
These will consist of Long-term and Short-term Scholarships, the
number of each to be determined by circumstances. The Longterm scholarships will be for the period of one year or more; the
Short-term Scholarships will be for a period of four months, from
June to September, inclusive.
Of the Short-term Scholarships it is a condition that students
shall return to the . Academy for regular study during the following
school year, when it is expected that they will again be competitors
for the Cresson Scholarships.
In the School of Architecture the awards will be made upon two
plan problems, two sketches, and three drawings from the cast or
life, made in three different months, and selected by the student
from the work of the entire year.
Blank forms of application and any further information may be
had by addressing
JOHN D. PIERCE,
Curator of the Schools.
