THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
OF THE FINE ARTS 1915-1916
T~e Penm.ylvania Academy conducts the oldest school
In
Amenca. devoted exclusively to the cultivation of the fine ar t s.
D urtng th e hundred and more years of its ex isl ence 't I
'd d' I
. .
, I las
a l e III t le tralllll1g of man y of the men and women whose nam
h
'1 1 '
es
are t e most I ustnous on the pages of American Art. Among its
former students are e mine nt painters- figure, landscape, and marine- mural dec~rato~s, illu s.tr~tors, and scu lptors of national reputation. In fact, Its history IS m no small measure the history of
American A rt itself.
Its School is nnde r the immediate care of a Curator and
Committee on Instruction appointed by the President and Board
of Directors. together with a Faculty co mposed of representati ve
artists of the day, men of wide experience as teachers and eminentl y
qualified to discover and develop every latent talent which students
may possess. It does not want students unl ess they intend to be
serious workers a nd willing to make so me sacrifice for the C,luse of
a rt, n or does it want students who e xpect it to teach them and
suppo rt th e m at th e same time.
The aim of the School is not only to supply the best facilities for the study of the Fine Arts in general, but also by means of
regular courses of study to equip its students for any special line
of artistic work which they may desire to follow.
I t wastes no time in preparing its students for admission to its
co urses of study, but engages them at o nce and excl usively in
the study of the Fine Arts a nd bends all its energies in thi s direction alone.
It especially aims to instruct its stude nts ill correct Drawing,
and some of its largest prizes are based upon this fundamental
requisite to g raphic art. It aims, furth ermore, to instruct its pupils
ill the harmony and contrast of Color, and to create and d evelop ill
the m a correct color sense, also in composition, in perspective, and
ill every other essential to a comprehensive study of the fine arts.
Lectures of general and special interest are given during the
year, and the students may attend them without extra charge.
The Academy's Permanent Collection of paintings and sculpture
is an important adjunct to the students' regular work.
(Il]
The Permanent Collection of paintings and sculpture incl d
the Gallery o! Natio.na~ Portraiture, the Temple Collectio~ ~~
Modem Amencan Pamtmgs, and the Gibson Collection, which is
largely composed of works of the Continental schools.
Copyin~ in the galleries is permitted to students under reasonable regulatIons.
The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy bring together
the best examples of American painting and sculpture and enable
the student to follow intelligently the various m~vements of
modem art, and study the technical methods by which the art of
the day is achieving its results. These exhibitions have been
recognized for many years as b eing the foremost in America.
During the past year they included:
An Exhibition of Water Colors composed of 718 examples,
representing 24I different artists;
An Exhibition of Miniatures composed of !O3 examples, representing 62 different artists;
The Academy's IIoth Annual Exhibition of Oil Paintings and
Sculpture, composed of 427 paintings and 2 [9 sculptures, and
representing a total of 362 artists. This Exhibition was opened to
public view for seven weeks and visited by 63.601 people.
The Academy is equipped in every way to teach the technique
of Painting and Sculpture.
The instrnction it affords is fully equal from a technical standpoint to that obtainable in Europe. Its Faculty, collections, galleries, class-rooms, and equipment of models and casts are admirably
fitted for their purpose. In fact, it can teach art to Americans
better than they can be taught abroad, and it is an exploded idea
that it is necessary to go to Europe in order to study in some particular artistic" atmosphere."
FREE SCHOLARSHIPS
Mrs. George D. Widener has established for the next five years,
Twenty Scholarships in the Academy, entitling the holders thereof
to free tuition.
Ten of them are in memory of her father, William L. Elkins, and
ten in memory of her husband, George D. Widener. The Scholarships will be awarded by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Committee on Instruction and the Faculty of the
Schools.
PHILADELPHIA PRIZE SCHOLARSH.IP .
Through the generosity of Edward Bok, .R sc.bol~rshl? wJlI be
available from the balance of the" Philadelphla Pnze, Wl~lcl: he has
established for the Academy Annual Exhibition of Pamtmg and
Sculpture.
ynder the will of Mary R, Burton, deceased, another free scholarship has been established.
Applicants must submit original drawings or paintings and sh
that they are otherwise worthy of the award.
ow
TRAYELLING SCHOLARSHIPS
SO far as instruction is concerned there is no necessity whatever for :he student to leave America, but, by the liberal provision
of the wills of Emlen Cresson and Priscilla P., his wife, a fund has
been created, as a memorial to their deceased son, William Emlen
Cresson, Aca~emicia?, t~e income of which is to be applied by
the Academy m sendmg Its most meritorious students to Europe.
The income is divided into scholarships of $500 each, awarded to
the students impartially upon the merits of their work.
During the last year twenty-four students were awarded Cresson
Scholarships, the enjoyment of which is deferred until travel and
study in Europe is considereci advisable by the Board of Directors
of the Academy.
OTHER PRIZES
Besides the Cresson scholarships, other substantial prizes are
offered to students as hereafter stated, and every incentive held out
to them to develop their talents to the uttermost.
SOME ADYANTAGES OF LOCATION
Frank Phares
PAINTING (LIFE), 1915
,
The Academy building is located in the heart of Philadelphia,
within one square of the City Hall and within two or three blocks
of the central city railroad depots. While it is convenient to the
business portion of the city, it is also readily accessible to the
residential districts, and students can obtain good board at reasonable rates. Philadelphia is often called" The City of Homes," and
of all the greater American cities it is probably the most worthy
of the name. HOllses can be purchased or rented upon easy
terms, and apartments and studios obtained by the year or by the
month upon fair and reasonable rates. The cost of living is low.
The city contains, in addition to the Academy's gall.ery, a
number of notable collections of paintings which are accessible to
students. Among the more important may be mentioned: The
Wilstach Collection in Fairmount Park; The Lankenau Collection at the Drexel Institute; the important paintings at the
Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and at Independence Hall;
the collections of John G. Johnson, of Peter A. B. Widener, and
of the late William L. Elkins.

THE COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
DEPARTMENT OF DRAWING AND PAINTING
The Courses of Instruction are divided into Departments of
Drawing and Painting; of Sculpture; and of Illustration. In
each of these departments there is certain prescribed work which
must be done, but the departments are closely allied, the advanced
students in each being not only allowed but also recommended to
work in the others.
The general method of instruction is by criticism of the work
done, but the individuality of the student is not repressed by
fixed methods.
d
The aim is to help the student to observe accurately and recor
truthfully what he sees, and as he sees it.

The work of the Classes in Sculpture consists of modelling from
the living model, generally in the round, but occasionally in relief,
and from both the full-length figure and the head only.
In addition to the work from life, each student is required to
present two sketch-models of sculptural themes, when directed by
the Instructor. On these the student will receive individual monthly
criticism throughout the balance of the school-year, in order to
develop the original themes to their fullest extent, as if the subjects
were to be finally executed in full size.
Requirements for Admission
Photographs of work or specimens of modelling of sufficient
merit are required for admission to these classes.
Students not sufficiently advanced for admission to life classes
are offered facilities for modelling from the antique cast, and as
soon as they have acquired sufficient proficiency to admit them to
"
S CULPTURE (PORTRAIT ). 1915
life classes, they are immediately promoted without the payment
of any further fee.
Some practical knowledge of the use of clay and a true conception of form in the round are of manifest advantage to both painter
and illustrator.
Students in sculpture are permitted to work in the drawing and
painting classes and recommended to work therein, but admission
to the life drawing classes is, for sculptors, subject to the same
requirements as for painters.
The Night Class meets from 7 to JO p.m. The work in this
class is identical with that done in the Day Classes except that the
working hours are less.
The Fees for Sculpture Classes
The fee for the Classes in Sculpture is $50 per term. Students
are allowed to work in the Day Classes or Night Classes or in both,
and students in Modelling are permitted to work in the Drawing

SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES
Travelling Scholarships
Z
H
By 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 me rit to Europe.
During the past year the Academy awarded twenty-four Cresson
Scholarships to pupils. There were sixteen painters, three sculptors
and five illustrators. These awards have been made by the Board
of Directors upon the recommendation of th e Faculty, with the
distinct understanding that the students are not to go abroad at the
present time, but that the date of their trip will depend upon the
return of E uropean peace and upon th e future determination of the
Board of Directors.
The awards are divided among the various branches of instruction taught in the Schools, based upon the number of pupils
in each Course as one factor, and the standard of the work as
another factor. The award consists of $500 to each student, to be
expended in foreign travel and work, within the limits of the
Scholarship.
It is the intention of the Cresson Scholarships to give to the
students of the Academy the advantage of seeing some of the
important Galleries and Art Schools abroad, and the Academy
desires to extend the benefit of the Scholarships to as many
students as possible, provided they possess the necessary merit.
The trip abroad is limited to the summer vacation, a period of four
months, from June to September inclusive, so that students can
return to the Academy for study during the ensuing school year.
The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of th e Committee on Instruction, may, in case of exceptional merit, permit
a student to compete for the Cresson Scholarships again, and
receive a second a ward of $500, b ut unless some satisfactory excuse
be accepted by the Committee on Instruction, such second competition and award must be during the next year succeed1l1g the
first award.
The award of a Travelling Scholarship is not to be regarded as a
[45]
certificate of proficiency, and students receiving such award,
whether for the first or second time, are required to return to the
Acade~y for further study and to inspire and encourage their fellows.
Durmg the past year six students were awarded Cresson
Scholarships for the Second time.
No student will be awarded a Cresson Scholarship who has not
studied at least two years in the Life Classes of the Academy.
Plan of the Competition
The work required each month in the ACldemy Schools from
students in Painting, Sculpture, and Illustration will be the principal factor in determining the award of these Scholarships.
Candidates failing to submit such work will be 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 such COllcours and
exam inations as may be announced during the season.
Sculptors will be required to present each month work done in
the Composition Class and in the Life Modelling Class. They are
required to participate in such COllC01WS and examinations as may
be announced during the season.
Illustrators will be required to present each month work done
in the Illustration Class and to work at least one week out of each
month in the Life Class so that at least three drawings or paintings
from the Life may be presented during the season for registration.
They are required to participate in such COllcoltrs and examinations
as may be announced during the season.

APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION TO
THE SCHOOL
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 first Monday of each month, excepting the
months of June, July, and August. Students may enter the Schools
or be promoted to higher classes at any time during the season,
but all admissions and promotions are on probation and subject to
reconsideration at the discretion of the Faculty. Before making
any application for transfer from one class to another, students
must have approval of such application from the instructor of the
class in which they are working.
No student is eligible for admission unless possessed of a good
common school education: such for instance as is reached by the
highest grade of the grammar schools. We recommend and prefer
that our students shall have no less than high school or normal
school attainments.
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.
To avoid loss, studies must be reclaimed promptly after
examination.
All students in any course who have not previously been students of the Academy will be required to pay the Academy's
matriculation fee of $5.
A student's ticket entitles the holder during attendance at the
Schools to the use of the Galleries, Special Exhibitions, the
Library, the Print Collection, and the Lectures given from time
to time under the auspices of the Academy.
Payments must be made, strictly in advance, to the Curator.
NO ALLOWANCE WHATEVER WILL BE MADE ON ACCOUNT OF

Assistance in securing board or rooms wIll. be gIVen .up

To the students in the Schools the Academy's Reference Library
and Galleries are free.
The permanent collection of paintings and sculpture, including
the Gallery of National Portraiture, the Temple Collection of
Modern American Paintings, and the Gibson Collection, largely
made up of works of the Continental Schools, is of great value
as an assistance to study.
Copying in the Galleries is permitted under reasonable regulations.
Students are also given free access to the many current exhibitions which the Academy holds each year. These, and especially
the Annual Exhibition of Oil Paintings and Sculpture, are a source
of inspiration and a valuable index to the trend of artistic thought.

As a temporary home for the Art Student
Philadelphia has un i que advantages.
Known as the "City of Homes," it affords
good living at a lower cost than is possible
in any other large city in the East.
In historical interest it is rich, and its
suburbs, easy of access, offer unusual
chance for out-of-door work. Opportunities
for general culture are varied and the
Academy is fortunately able to secure
special rates for its students to many of the
lectures and concerts given each season.
The Academy itself is centrally located
and within short walking distance from it
are good boarding-places. The two principal railroad stations are each within five
minutes' walk.
Recognizing that a comfortable living
place is an aid to serious study the management invites correspondence with students
from a distance and offers freely its information and aid.
