House. Students of this course who are not

Academy: Drawing from the Antique or Life,
Modelling, Perspective, and in Architectural
Design, all nine-hour sketches_

Faculty; but in this case they will not be entitled to the privileges or rates of tuition accorded to those taking the full course.
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.
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
The Second Section will consist of students
who have been promoted from the First Section
or who have been admitted directly as graduates
of recognized schools of architecture or as
having equal qualifications.
Day Life and Head Course students are privileged 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.

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 their work there for judgment
and award.
By the terms of the wi1\s of Emlen Cresson
and Priscilla P. Cresson, a Fund has been
created as a Memorial to their deceased son
William Emlen Cresson, Academician, the in~
come 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.
By arrangement 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.
Under this foundation, during the past four
years the Academy has sent abroad for study
thirty-two pupils for terms varying from four
months to two years.
For the school year of 1906-19°7, 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.
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 enroll at the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts and pay their dues
of ten dollars per term (twenty dollars per
annum) to the Curator, receiving a membership
card, without which no student will be admitted
to the classes. Those who have not previously
been students of the Academy will be required
to pay the Academy's matriculation fee of five
dollars.
\
Of the Short-term Scholarships it is a condition
that students shall return to the Academy for
study during the following school year, registering for the Life and Head Course, and it is expected that they will again be competitors for
Cresson Scholarships.
