THE FOUNDATION OF TIlE ACADEMY
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is the oldest art
. t't t' 'n tIle United States and actually dates
Its eXIstence from
Ins 1 U Ion 1
. .
179 , when Charles Willson Peale commenced hIs efforts to organize
1
in Philadelphia a school for the fine arts. It was formally founded
in 1805, and chartered in 1806. Mr. .Peale's firstefforts resulted in
the formation in I79~ of the Columblanum, and 111 1795 under the
auspices of that Association there was held in Pennsylvania's old
State House, now known as Independence Hall, the first exhibition
of paintings in Philadelphia. The Columbianum was ultimately
succeeded by the present Academy.
In t 805, in Independence Hall, where twenty-nine years earlier
the forefathers had signed the Declaration of Independence, seventyone public spirited citizens, of whom forty-one were lawyers, met
for formal organization. They prepared a Petition for the incorporation of the Pcnnsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The gathering
was a distinguished one, and includcd George Clymer, a signer of
the Declaration of Independence; Joseph Hopkinson, the author of
"Hail Columbia"; William Tilghman, President of the Court of
Common Pleas, and afterwards Chief Justice of Pennsylvania;
Charles Willson Peale, William Rush and Rembrandt Peale , artists',
Alexander J . Dallas, District Attorney of the United States; Joseph
B. McKean, Attorney General of the Commonwealth; William
Lewis, William Meredith, William Rawle, Horace Binney, Simon
Gratz, John ReyneU Coates, Richard Rush, Charles Biddle, John
R edman Coxe and Edward Penington. The object of the association, quaintly and vigorously expressed in the language of the day,

During the one hundred and twenty-one years of the Academy's
existence it has aided in the training of many men and women whose
names are 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. Its history is in no small measure the history of American
Art itself.

SOME ADVA TAGES OF LOCATIO
The Academy building is located in the heart of Philadelphia,
within one square of City HalI and within two or three blocks of the
central city railroad stations. The new Parkway brings it within
easy reach of Fairmount Park and 3000 acres of beautiful scenery.
While it is convenient to the business portion of the city. it is also
readily accessible to the residential districts. Philadelphia is often
called" The City of Homes," and of all the greater American cities
it is probably the most worthy of the name. Apartments and studios
can be obtained by the year or by the month for reasonable rates.
The cost of living is comparatively low.
]
The city contains, in addition to the Academy's own 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 John G. Johnson Collection; the important paintings at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and at
Independence Hall. The Private Collection of Joseph E. Widener
(admission by appointment only).
To students attending the Academy, the Reference Library and
the Galleries are free during the time of their attendance.

,,
The awards arc divided among the Painting. Illustration and
Sculpture Classes, and are based upon the number of contestants
from each Class as one factor, and the standard of the work as
another factor.
.
Th e a~'ard of a scholarship provides each student WIth one
thousand dollars to expend in actual travel and travelling expenses.
The remaining one hundred and fifty dollars of the award coyers
tuition for the ensuing school season.
[ 55 1
It is the intention of the Cresson Schol~ships to give .to the
t d nts of the Academy the advantage of seemg some of the Impor~a~t eGalleries and Art Schools abroad. The trip abroad is limited
to the summer vacation, a period of four months, from June to
October, so that students can return to the Academy for study during the ensuing school year.. The Board of ?rrectors, . upon the
recommendation of the Committee on InstructIOn, may, tn case of
exceptional merit, permit a student to receive a second Cresson
Scholarship. Unless some satisfactory excuse be accepted by the
Committee on Instruction, a second scholarship must be competed
for during the year succeeding the first award.
The award of a Travelling Scholarship is not to be regarded as a
certificate of proficiency. Students receiving an award for the first
time are required to return to the Academy for further study after
having travelled abroad in accordance with the terms of the award.
Students receiving a second award are expected to return to the
Academy for further study during the school year next succeeding
the award.
New students registering during the season of I92I-I922 and
thereafter will not become eligible to compete for a Cresson Travelling Scholarship until they have completed twenty-four months,
or six terms, (not necessarily consecut ive) of study in the Academy's
Schools.
Students who have been registered previous to the school year of
I92I-I922 will be eligible to compete for a Cresson Travelling Scholarship after sixteen months of study in the Academy's Schools.
In ~stimati.ng the total number of months necessary to qualify
competitors, time spent at work at the Chester Springs Summer
School is counted provided certain requirements there have been
fulfilled.
All stude~ts in competition for Cresson Travelling Scholarships
mu~t be registered tn the Philadelphia School for both terms of
the~r Comp~tition Year. During Competition year no change in
registratIOn IS permitted .

THE ACADEMY'S FREE-HAND DRAWING PRIZES FOR THE
HIGHER SCHOOLS OF PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY
The Directors of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
h ve established a system of prize awards for original Free-hand
o':.awing by students of the higher schools of the city ~f Phila.delphia
and vicinity. The purpose of making these awards IS to stimulate
interest in Free-hand Drawing, to discover those who possess marked
talent, and to offer them the advantages of study at the Academy.
A first prize of $ro and a second prize of $5 are awarded by
the Academy upon the recommendation of the instructor of the school
where made, for the best and second best drawings by regularly
enrolled students of each school.
The drawings must he made free-hand from a cast or other object
assigned by the instructor, and must be the unaided work of the
student, without criticism.
The drawings must be made with lead pencil, charcoal or crayon
on white paper 19 inches by 25 inches in size and unmounted.
The drawings may be made at any time during the months of
March and April, but must be submitted to the instructor of the
school where made, and the prizes announced before the thirtieth
of April, 1927.
The two prize drawings from each school must be sent to the
Secretary of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Broad
and Cherry Streets, Philadelphia, not later than May 16th, 1927.
The Faculty of the Academy will then judge the drawings submitted,
and award the final prizes as follows:
$25 for the best drawing; $15 for the second; and $10 for the third.
All entries must have the following information legibly written
on the back: name of the competitor; name of the school in which
the student is working, and the signature of the Principal of the
school. Drawings will be returned to the schools from which received.
It is hoped that these awards, and the stimulus they afford ,will
d
le.a to a closer sympathy between the art instruction in the city's
higher schools and the work of the Academy itself.

THE ACADEMY'S SUMMER SCHOOL
AT CHESTER SPRINGS
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts owns a tract of
~o acres at Chester Springs, Chester County, Pennsylvania, where
1t cond ucts an open air school for instruction in the Fine Arts.
Chester Springs is seven and one·half miles northwest of Phcenixville on the Pickering Valley Railroad, and about forty miles northwest of Philadelphia. It is a beautiful little village, with postoffice,
schools, stores and churches. The population is purely native
American.
The Academy's property is one-quarter of a mile from the station. It is about 300 feet above mean ocean tide level, supplied with
electric light from Phcenixville and reached in about one hour and
thirty minutes by train service from the Reading Terminal at.
Philadelphia. It is north of the village, surrounded by typical
Pennsylvania farm land, the scenery of which is enriched by gently
rolling hills and by Pickering Creek with its meadows and valleys.
It is at the foot of a hill rising to the north over 500 feet, and includes
a number of buildings upon the hillside, affording ample studio
room, and separate dormitories for men and women .

THE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
H
P
~
The men's building, known as the Washington Building, is a large
three-story stone structure, 146 feet long, with airy dormitories on the
second and third floors, private rooms for those who want them, and
contains on the first floor the main kitchen and general dining room.
The women's building, known as the Lincoln Building, is also
three stories in height, is 88 feet long, with similar airy dormitories
on the second and third floors, also with private rooms. It contains on the first floor a library and reading room used by all of the
students. It is about 60 feet to the eastward of the Washington
Building. Both are near the public road.
Across the road from the Lincoln Building, and slightly to the
east of it, stands the New Studio, a substantial stone building,
the dimensions of which are 42 by 37 feet. One large studio occupies
the whole upper floor. It is lighted by a north sky-light and contains a large stone fire-place for use on cool or rainy days in spring
or fall. A balcony opening on the south side affords an extended
view of the meadow through which runs the Pickering Creek.
[ 81 )
•
,
In the basement of this building is another room which also
contains a large stone fire-place.
'
In the meadow below the New Studio Building are tennis courts
and near these are the croquet grounds.

A.bout 130 f~et .back of these two dormitory buildings, and up
the side of the hill, IS the main Studio Building, 78 by 49 feet, which
has upon the first floor a theatre or lecture room with dressing rooms
for men and women, and upon the second floor one large studio used
by the students in common, and several smaller ones, affording together ample space for all the students to work indoors in wet weather.
The old Kimberton Road, upon which the dormitories face
joins in front of the property, with the White Horse Road leadin~
down to the village. From the dormitory buildings there is a long
covered walk up the hillside to the Studio, so that students are protected during wet weather. Further west on the Kimberton Road,
about 160 feet, is the Bungalow, affording additional dormitory
accommodations.
On the opposite side of the Kimberton Road, at its junction with
the White Horse Road, is the Faculty Building, a double stone residence, used to accommodate resident teachers, and conveniently
near the main dormitories. Directly across the Kimberton Road,
is a large and quaint one-story frame building called the Art Gallery,
used by the students to exhibit their work and in which are accommodations for the washing of palettes and brushes, for the making of
frames, and like purposes.
In the meadow below the Faculty Building is the New Bath
House and Swimming Pool. It is of concrete construction and
enclosed by a wall eight feet high. The dimensions of the building
are 125 feet by 3o}4 feet. At the west end there are dressing rooms
for the men; while at the east end there are dressing rooms for the
women. All the dressing rooms are provided with clothes hooks ,
benches, mirrors and shelves to hold the toilet articles.
The Pool itself is 87 feet long by 21 feet wide. At its deepest
end under the diving board, it is 7 feet deep; while at the shallow
end it is 4 feet, 3 inches deep for the use of those who do not swim.
The Pool is fed by the waters of the Pickering Creek, the level of
which has been raised above the pool by a dam. The sheet of water
formed by the dam is a picturesque addition to the landscape. The
out-of-door portrait class sometimes poses a model in a boat on the
dam. The dam is 125 feet wide and about 400 feet long, and over
the breast the water of the creek falls upon a series of steps.
In the centre of the meadow, below the Washington Building,
is the famous Yellow Spring. Its waters are so heavily charged with

iron that they color the stones of the run leading from the spring
It gave the locali ty the ancient name of the" Yellow Springs. "
The dr~nkin~ .water for all of the buildings descends by gravity
from a spnng nsmg near the top of the hill , the water being conducted by a piping system into concrete reservoirs, which can be
augmented by an auxiliary system, permitting water to be pumped
to the reservoirs from another spring, known as the Diamond Spring,
situated in the meadow far from the buildings, and the water of
which is of singular clearness and purity.
The countryside is remarkably paintable, with many attractive
old dwellings, quaint barns and spring houses, with old trees, abundant woodland, creeks and ponds, and with beautiful views near at
hand. Directly in front of the Washington Building is a grove of
sycamores of great age, and back of it is one of the largest sycamores
in Pennsylvania, possessing a mighty spread of limb and containing
in one of its large arms the iron prongs, now almost covered with
bark, which were used in the olden days to support the bell which
called the guests to dinner, when the Washington Building was
.
an Inn.
The chief object of the Academy in establishing a school in the
country is to supplement the work done during the Winter in its
Philadelphia schools by instruction in painting and Sculpture in
the open air, and to afford an opportunity for the study of art to
school teachers and to others who cannot spare time for study except
during the vacation months.
The methods of instruction are substantially the same as those
used at the Academy in Philadelphia, special attention, however,
being paid to landscape drawing and painting, to figure painting
in the open air, and to the study of sunlight and shade. Students
are taught to make" studies" of nature rather than" sketches, " and
are also taught to carryon their work as far as their abilities permi t.
The general method of instruction is by individual criticism of
work submitted. The instructors will, from time to time, work with
the students for the purpose of assisting them in the selection and
interpretation of their subjects.
CRESSON TRAVELLING SCHOLARSHIPS
To compete for Cresson Travelling Scholarships students must
be registered for six terms in the Academy's Schools. In estImating this period, time spent at work at the 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 the competition year.

The students came not only from Pennsylvania, but also from
distant points: from Alabama, one; Canada, two; Delaware, four;
Florida, one; Georgia, one; Idaho, one; Illinois, three; Indiana,
one; Louisiana, one; Michigan, two; Maryland, three; l\Iissouri,

RATES
The intention of the Academy is to accept serious students
only and not those who simply desire an advantageous place to
board in the summer.
The rates are as low as possible, since they include both board
and tuition. But these rates do not include the expense of clothinglaundry and materials for drawing, painting, and sculpture. The
latter may be purchased at the school store.

EQUIPMENT
The equipment of the school affords ample studio room, and
includes separate dormitory buildings for men and women, an
Exhibition Hall and a Swimming Pool.

with electric light.
The Reading Rooms are supplied with current magazines and a
library of several hundred volumes. The Recreation Hall is provided with a stage, footlights and dressing rooms.
REQUIREMENTS AND RULES
Satisfactory references are required from all applicants, and
as the students live in the buildings, conformity with reasonable
regulations is necessary to secure proper chaperonage. Students
are expected to know how to conduct themselves from principles of
honor without specific rules.
Students are not permitted to smoke inside the buildings. This
is an absolute rule and is necessary to guard against fire and insure
cleanliness.
No student will be received at the School unless all arrangements for accommodations have been previously made with the
management. Students must not come to the School until their
applications have been accepted and their accommodations provided.
No student is admitted for a shorter stay than two weeks except
by the special consent of the Manager.
. .
No student under 16 years of age is eligible for admiSSion.

" 'He is great who is what he is from
nature and who never reminds us of
others.' The secret of the highest
power is simply the uniting of the
outer agencies of Expression with the
Power that works from within. Are
you a painter? Then in the degree
that you open yourself to the power
of the forces within, will you become
great instead of mediocre. You can
never put into permanent form inspirations higher than those that
come through your own soul."
