THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
OF THE FINE ARTS 1916~19 17
The Penm.ylvania Academy conducts the oldest school In
America devoted exclusively to the cultivation of the fine arts.
During the hundred and more years of its existence, it has
aided in the training of many of the men and women whose names
are the most illustrious on the pages of American Art. Among its
former students are eminent painters-figure, landscape, and marine- mural decorators, illustrators, and sculptors of national reputation. In fact, its history is in no small measure the history of
American Art itself.
Its School is under the immediate care of a Curator and
Committee on Instruction appointed by the President and Board
of Directors, together with a Faculty composed of representative
artists of the day, men of wide experience as teachers and eminently
qualified to discover and develop every latent talent which students
may possess. It does not want students unless they intend to be
serious workers and willing to make some sacrifice for the cause of
art, nor does it want students who expect it to teach them ami
support them at the 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.
It wastes no time in preparing its students for admission to its
courses of stud y, but engages them at once an~ e~clus.ivel.y in
the study of the Fine Arts and bends all its energIes 111 thiS dIrection alone.
.
It especially aims to instruct its students in co~rect DrawIDg,
and some of its largest prizes a re based upon :ll1S fun?amen~al
requisite to graphic art. It aims, furth ermore, to II1Struct ItS pupl.ls
in th e harmony and contrast of Color, and to create and de~elop 111
. perspectlve, and
them a correct color sense, also in composl·u· on, 111
in every other essential to a comprehensive study.of the fi?e ar~.
Lectures of general and special interest are given dunng t e
ear, and the students may attend them witho~t ~xtra charge.
y The Academy's Permanent Collection of palntIDgs and sculpture
is an important adjunct to the students' regular work.

largely composed of works of the Continental schools
Copying .in the galleries is permitted to students ~nder reasonable regulations.
The Annual Exhibition~ held by the Academy bring together
the best examples of Ame.ncan painting and sculpture, and enable
the student to follow mtelligently the various movements of
modern 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 being the foremost in America.
During the past year they included:
An Exhibition of Water Colors composed of 977 examples
representing 238 different artists;
,
An Exhibition of Miniatures composed of 171 examples, representing 78 different artists;
The Academy's 1 Ilth Annual Exhibition of Oil Paintings and
Sculpture, composed of 439 paintings and 217 sculptures, and
representing a total of 371 artists. This Exhibition was opened to
public view for seven weeks and visited by 51,530 people.
The Academy is equipped in every way to teach the technique
of Painting and Sculpture.
The instruction 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 admirabl y
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. Alexander Hamilton Rice 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 William L. Elkins, and ten in memory of George D. Widener. The Scholarships Wi.)) be awarded by
the Board of Directors upon the recommendatlon of the Committee on Instruction and the Faculty of the Schools.
PHILADELPHIA PRIZE SCHOLARSHIP
Through the generosity of Edward Bok, a sc.hol~rshi? will be
available from the balance of the" Philadelphia Pnze, W~IC~ he ha~

During the last year twenty-two students were awarded Cresson
Scholarships, the enjoyment of which is deferred until travel and
study in Europe is considered 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 incenti ve held out
to them to develop their talents to the uttermost.
SOME ADVANTAGES OF LOCATION
•
An na Warren Ingersoll
PAINTING (L IFE) , I9I6
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 readi ly accessible to the
residential districts, and students can obtain good board at reasonable rates. Philadelphia is often called" The City of H omes," and
of all the greater American cities it is probably the most worthy
of the name. Houses can be purchased or rented upon easy
terms, and apartments and studios obtained by the year or by the
month upon fair and reasonabl e rates. The cost of living is low.
The city contains, in addition to the Academy's gallery, 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 private collections of John G. John~o?, of J o~eph E. Wld~ner,
and of the late William L. Elkins. AdmiSSIOn to Pnvate CollectIOns,

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
d
fixed methods.
The aim is to help the student to observe accurately and recor
truthfully what he sees, and as he sees it.

SCULPTURE, STUDENTS' EXHIBITION
The work of the Classes in Sculptufe 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.

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, Ac~demician, the income of which is to be applied
by The Pennsylvama Academy of the Fine Arts in sending pupils
of merit to Europe.
During the past year the Academy awarded twenty-two Cresson
Scholarships to pupils. Included in this number were fourteen
painters, three sculptors and five illustrators. These awards· have
been made by th e Board of Directors upon the recommendation of
the 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 European peace and upon the future
determination of the Board of Directors.
The awards are divided among the various branches of instruction taught in the Schools, based upon the ?Iumber of pupils
in each Course as one fa ctor, 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 the Committee on Instruction, may, in case of exceptional merit, permit
a student to compete for the Cresson Scholarships again, and
receive a second award of $500, but unless some satisfactory excuse
be accepted by the Committee on Instruction, such secon? competition and award must be during the next year succeedmg 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 th~
Academy
. forhfurther study and to inspire and encourage their fello ws.
Durmg t e past year eight 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 and
been registered for the full te rms during the year of competition
Plan of the Competition
The work required each month in the Academy 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 Concours and
examinations as may be announ ced during the season.
Sculptors will be required to present each month work done in
the Composition Class and in th e Life Modelling Class. They are
required to participate in such COllcoltrs and examinations as may
be announced during the season.
JIlustrators will be required to present. each month work done
ill 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 th e season for registration.
They are required to participate in sLlch COIlC01trs and examinations
as may be announced during the season.
THE CHARLES TOPPAN PRIZES
The Charles Toppan prizes for the next year will be, respectively, $300 and $200, and two honorable mentions of $roo each.
These prizes were established in I88! by the gift of l\frs. Charles
Toppan, Miss Harriette R. Toppan, and Mr. Robert N. Toppan.

All applications for admission and for promotion to higher
classe~ 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. \Ve 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.

ABSENCE.
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.

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.
