" Art is unquestionabLy one of the purest
and highest elements in human happiness.
It trains the mind through the eye, and
the eye through the mind. As the sun
colors flowers, so does art color life."
-LUBBOCK .
"In true Art, the hand, the hea.d, and
the heart of man f!.0 together. But Art is
no recreation: it cannot be learned at
spare moments, nor pursued when we
have nothing better to do."-RuSKIN.

THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
OF THE FINE ARTS, 1918-191 9
The Pennsylvania Academy conducts the oldest school in
America devoted exclusively to the cultivation of the fine arts.
It also conducts at Chester Springs, Chester Co., Pennsylvania,
what is believed to be the best equipped Open-air and Summer
School in this country.
During the hundred and more years of t he Academy's existence,
it has a ided in the training of many of the men and women whose
na mes a re 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 t he history
of American Art itself.
Its schools are 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 a nd
support them at the same time.
..
The aim of the Academy is not only to supply the best faCilities for the study of the Fine Arts in general, but also by m~ans. of
regular courses of study to equip its students for any special lIne
of artistic work which they may desire to foJlow.
. ,
.
It wastes no time in preparing its students for admlssl~n to I.ts
exclUSively
111
courses of study, but engages t h em a t 0 nce and. .

the study of the Fine Arts and bends all its energies In thiS direction alone.

Lectures of general and special interest are given during the
year, and the st~dents may attend them without extra charge.
1 tu re
. The
. Academy sd.Permanent Collection of paintings and scup
IS an Important a Junct to thc students' regular work.
The Permanent Collection of paintings and sculpture includes
the Gallery of National Portraiture, the Temple Collection of
Modern American Paintings, and the Gibson Collection, which is
largely composed of works of the Continental schools.
Copying in the galleries is permitted to students under reasonable regulations.
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 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."
The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy bring togcther
the best examples of American painting and sculpture, and enable
the student to follow intelligently 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 recognizcd
for many years as being the foremost in America. During the past
year they included:
An Exhibition of Water Colors composed of 85 0 examples,
representing 252 different artists;
An Exhibition of Miniatures composcd of 119 examples, repre.
..
sen ting 64 differen t artists;
The Academy's 113 th Annual Exhibition of Ot! Patnt1l1gs and
Sculpture, composed of 495 paintings and 85 sculpturcs, and
representing a total of 393 artists. This Exhibition was opcned to
public view for seven weeks and visited by 55,210 people.
During 19 18 the foHowing Exhibitions were held:
The Thomas Eakins Icmorial Exhibition.

FREE SCHOLARSHIPS
Through the generosity of Mrs. Alexander H ·It
.
t S 1 I b· .
ami on Rice
wehny
Id c 10hars IpS III the 1\c~demy have been provided, entitling'
th e 0 ers t ereof to free tUition.
Ten of them are in. memory of William L.
Elkl·ns
. mem, ad'
n .en m
ory of George D: Widener. The Scholarships will be awarded by
th: Board of DI~ectors upon the recommendation of the Committee on InstructIOn and the Faculty of the Schools.
!hrough the generosity of Edward Bok, a scholarship will be
aValbla?le from the balance of the" Philadelphia Prize," which he has
esta hshed for the Academy's Annual Exhibition of Painting and
Sculpture.
Under the will of Mary R . Burton, deceased, a free scholarship
has been established.
T
Through the generosity of Mrs. George K. Johnson, the Sarah
Kaighn Cooper Free Scholarship has been established.
Applicants for these scholarships must submit original drawings
or paintings before September IS and show that they are otherwise
worthy of the award.
TRAVELLING SCHOLARSHIPS
So far as instruction is concerned, there is no necessity whatever for the 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, Academician, the income of which is to be applied by
the Academy in sending its most meritorious students to Europe.
The income is divided into scholarships of $5 00 each, awarded to
the students impartially upon the merits of their work.
During the last year seventeen students were awarded Clesson
Scholarships, the enjoyment of which is deferred until travel and
study in Europe are 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 incentive held out
to them to develop their talents to the uttermost .

SOME ADVANTAGES OF LOCATION
..
. ~he Academy building is located in the heart of Philadelphia,
wlthm one square of t he City Hall and within t wo or three blocks
of t he cent ral city railroad depots. While it is convenient to the
business portion of the city, it is also readily accessiblc to the residen tial districts, and students can obtain good board at reasonable
rates. Philadelphia is often called "The City of Homes," and of
a ll the greater American cities it is probably the most worthy of
t he na me. Houses can be purchased or rentcd upon easy terms,
a nd a pa rtments a nd studios obtained by the year or by the month
upon fa ir a nd reasonable rates. The cost of li ving is low.
T he city contains, in addition to t he Academy's gallery, a
num ber of notable collections of paintin gs which are accessible to
students. Among t he more important may be mentioned: The
Wilstach Collection in Fairmount Pa rk; The Lankenau Collection
at the D rexel In stit ute; the important pain tings at the Historical
Society of Pen nsylva nia, and at I ndependence Hall ; the private
collections of t he late J ohn G. J ohnson , of J oseph E. Widener, and
of t he late William L. E lkins. Admission to Pri vatc Collections
by a ppoin tment onl y.

the Galleries a re frec during the year of thcir attendance .

MAIN DINING ROOM IN THE WASHINGTON BUILDING-CHESTER SPRINGS
•
the early part of the 19th century .. It possesses a famous iron spring,
the waters of wh.lch gavc the pl~cc Its old name of "Ycllow Springs,"
a sccond spnng Impregn.atcd with sulph ur and a third spring, which
on account of Its exccedlI1gly purc watcr is kno\\TI as the" Diamond
Spring."
Through its proximity to Vallcy Forge, thc school property and
the surrounding country arc rich in histo rical associatiou. During
the Summer of 1917 thc Historical Society of Chester Count\'. ,
Pa., unveilcd a bronze tablet to mark the location of the Hospital
which stood on the site of thc present stud io building and which
\Vashington erected to accommodate thc sick and wounded soldiers of
the Revolutionary Army.
Thc chief object of thc Academy in establishing a summer school
in the country is to supplement thc work done during the Winter
in its schools in Philadclphia by instruction in painting in the opcn
air, and to afford an opportunity for the study of art to school
teachers and to others who cannot sparc the time to stud y in the
winter.
The mct hods of instruction adopted are substant ially the same
as those given at the Academy in Philadelphia during its regular
Winter courses, special attcntion, howevcr, being paid to landscape
drawing and painting, to figure painting in the open air, and to the
st uriy of sunlight and shade. Whilc t hc range of the fine-art instruction is as broad as possible, all fashions and mannerisms arc a\·oided.
Students are tanght to make "studies" of naturc rath er than
"sketches," and arc also taught to carryon their \\'ork as far as
their abilitics permit.
Thc gl'neral mcthod of instruction is by criti cism o( thc work

Criticisms will be given from time to time by different members
of the Faculty: by Fred Wagner in May, June, July, September and
October; by Henry McCarter also in June, July, September and
October; by W. L. Lathrop, Robert Spencer, Arthur B. Carles, in July
and August, and also by Hugh H. Breckenridge in August, and
others as may be arranged.
The Academy accepts serious students only and not those who
simply desire an advantageous place to board in the country , To
such students a rate of board is fixed as low as possible in view of
present conditions, the rate to include all charges for instruction
(but not materials for drawing or painting). The rates for board
and lodging vary from $7.50 per week for students living in the
dormitories, to $10, $12.50 and $15 per week where private rooms
are required. On account of the high cost of supplies, the minimum
rates of board (which includes tuition) cannot be reduced this
year. The table is simple and wholesome.
The buildings are supplied with hot and cold running water and
with electric light.
Satisfactory references are required from all applicants for
admission , and as the students live in the buildings, conformity
with reasonable regulations is necessary to secure proper chaperonage
and the exercise of supervision. Students will be exp~cted to kn,ow
how to conduct themselves from principles of honor Without specific
rules.
Students are not allowed to smoke in the Studios and
Dormitories.
No student will be accepted for a shorter stay than ~n~ week.
No student under 16 years of age is eligible for admiSSIOn.

The Course consists in lectures upon the elements of linear perspective illustrated by drawings made before the class; in exercises
upon the same subject and in sketching from the solid object and
from nature; and in the application of the knowlcdge t hus gained
to illustration and painting. The way in which artists of various
schools have used the principles of perspective is demonstrated by
lantern projections of their works.

A Costume Sketch Class will be conducted throughout both
terms. It will meet Saturday morning between nine o'clock and

or in color. Members of any other class in the school may attend
the Costume Sketch Class without additional charge.
There will also be a Tuesday evening sketch class, from seven
until nine o'clock, with a living model.
The chief object of these classes is to teach the student to draw
readily, and grasp quickly, the whole composition shown him, as
an illustration of character.

In addition to the work from life, each student is required to
present two sketch-models of sculp tural themes, when directed by

DRAWING Ii\' THE RAMBORCER PRfZE C00lTEST. rorS
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 Th~ Pennsylvama Academy of the Fine Arts in sending pupils
of ment to E urope.
During the past year the Academy awarded seventeen Cresson
Scholarships to pupils.
Included in this numb er were ten
painters, three sculptors and four illustrators. These awards have
been made by the 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.
T he 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 cach 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 I nstruction, may, in case of exceptional merit, permit a student
to compete for the Cresson Scholarships again, and receive a seconri
award of $500. Unless some satisfactory excuse be accepted by the
Committee on Instruction, such second competition and award
must be during the next year succeeding the first award, but al1
students who have heretofore received one Cresson Travelling Schola rship a nd who, by reason of the war, have been unable to enjoy the
same, arc given Sl:holarships to the Pennsylvania Academy.of the
Fine Arts, carrying free tuition for the season of 1918-19, wIth the
privilege of competing again in l\Iay 19I9 for a second Cresson
Travelling Scholarship.

The award of a Travelling Scholarship is not to be regarded as a
certificate of proficiency, and students receiving such award, whether
for the first or second time, are required to return to the Academy
for further study and to inspire and encourage their fellows.
During 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 16 months in the Academy and been registered
for the full terms during the year of competition.
In estimating the total sixteen months of study necessary to
qualify competitors, time spent at work at the Chester Springs
Summer School will be counted, but no student will be eligible to
compete who is not registered in the Philadelphia schools for both
terms of his competition year.

THE ACADEMY'S FREE-HAND DRAWING
PRIZES IN THE HIGHER SCHOOLS OF
PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY
The Board of Directors of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts have established a system of prize awards for original Free-hand
Drawing by students of the higher schools of the city of Philadelphia
and vicinity in order to encourage ease and facility in correct Free-hand
Drawing, to discover students who possess talent, and to offer the
advantages of the Academy to those who deserve them.
A first prize of $10 and a second prize of $5 will be awarded by
the instructor of the class for the best and second best drawings made
by a regularly enrolled student of eaeh school.
The drawing must be made free hand from a cast or other object
assigned by the instructor and must be the unaided work of the student.
The drawing must be made with lead pencil, charcoal or crayon on
white paper 19 inches by 25 inches in size and must be signed on thc
back with the name and address of the student making it.
The drawing will be made at any time during the months of
March and April, submitted to the instructor of the school , and the
prizes announced before the 1st of May.
Similar prizes will be offered to students in other high schools, and
at the end of April the two prize drawings from each school will be sent
to the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Broad
and Cherry Streets, Philadelphia, where they will be passed upon by
the Faculty of the Academy, and further prizes awarded as follows:
$25 for the best drawing; $15 for the second, and $10 for the third.
It is hoped that these awards, and the stimulus they afford will
lead to a closer identification of the art instruction of the ~ity's
higher schools and the work of the academy itself.

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
change 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.

"The one thing that makes the true

which give us the feeble pictures and the
lumpy statues of the mere artisans on
