In 1805, in Independence Hall, where twenty·nine years
earlier the forefathers had signed the Declaration of Independence,
seventy.one public spirited citizens, of whom forty·one were
lawyers, met for formal organization. They prepared a petition
for the incorporation of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts. The gathering was a distinguished one, and included 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 M. Meredith, William
Rawle, Horace Binney, Simon Gratz, John Reynell Coates, Richard
Rush, Charles Biddle, John Redman Coxe and Edward Penington.
The object of the association, quaintly and vigorously expressed
in the language of the day, was:

"'He is great who is what he is from nature and who never
reminds
li S
of others.'
The secret of the highest power is simply
the uniting of the outer agencies of Expression with the P ower
th at works from within.
Are you a painter?
Then in the degree
th at you open yourself to th e power of the forces within, will yOIl
become great instead of medi oc re.
You can never put into per-
man ent form inspirations hi ghe r than those that come through
yOllr own so ul."-Ralph Waldo Trine.

THE
PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
OF THE FINE ARTS
The Pennsyl'l'ania Academy conducts the oldest scho I
. A
.
os
In
merlca de'l'oted exclusi'l'ely to the culti'l'ation f
the !,ine Arts. The Academy also conducts at Chest~r
Springs, Chester Co., Pennsyl'l'ania, what is belie'l'ed to
be the best equipped Open -air, Country, and Summer
School in America. For details see page 89.
D
UR1?\G the one hundred and twenty-four 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 form er students are eminent paintersfigure, landscape, and marine, mural decorators, illustrators, and
scu lptors of national reputation. Its history is in no small mcasure
the history of American Art itself.
The schools are under the immediate care of a Curator
and Comm ittee on Instruction appointed by the President and
Board of Directors, together with a FaCUlty composed of representative artists of the day, who are experienced teachers and
eminently qualified to discover and develop every talent which
students may possess.
The Academy is equipped in every way to teach the technique
of Painting, Sculpture, and Illustration, and engages its students
at once and exclusively in the study of the Fine Arts. Its aim
is to eq uip them with a thorough knowledge of Drawing, Color,
Composition, Modelling, Construction, and Per pective.
Lectures of general and specia l interest are givcn during the
year, and visits are made to private co ll ections, museums, etc.,
which students may attend without ex tra charge. During the
past year, under the auspices of the Fellowship of the Academy
the following lectures were given: by Walter Prichard Eaton,
Art in the Theatre; Thomas H. Benton, Some Problems in Painting; Capt. Vladimir Perfilieff, Adventuring Forth ; Otto H. Kahn,
Concerning Art; Sarah D. Lowrie, Taste as an Asset. in Philadelphia, in the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth CenturIes.

The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy bnng together
the best examples of current American painting and sculpture,
and enable students to follow intelligently the various movements
of modern art, and to study th e technical methods by which the
art of today is achieving its results. These exhibition.s have b~en
recognized for many yea r s as being the foremost 111 AmerIca.
During the past year they included:
,\n Exhibition of \Vater Colors, composed of 734 examples,
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
IJomcs," and of all the greater American cities it is probably
the most worthy of the name. Apartments and studios can
be obtained by the season or by the month at reasonable rates.
The cost of living is comparatively low.
The beautiful Free Library on th e Parkway is within
walking di stance of the Academy and affords the students excellent
opportunities for general reading and fo r research in art.
The city contains, in addition to the Academy's own gallery,
a number of notable collections of paintings and of sculptures
which are accessible to stud ents. Among the more important may
be menti oned : The Philadelphia Museum of Art; 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 ITall; The University of Pennsylvania Museum; The
Private Collection of Joseph E. Widener (admission by appointment onl y) .
To students attending the Academy, the Reference Library
and the Galleries are free dl!ring the tim e of their attendance.

THE ACADEMY'S SCHOOL AT
CHESTER SPRINGS
Th e Academy's School in the country at Chester
Spr in gs is open throughout the etltire year.
HESTER SPRINGS is seven and one-half miles nort!
. '11
h P' k .
lwest
of PhOel11XVl e on t e IC enng Valley Railroat! and about
thirty-six miles northwest of Philadelphia. It is a beautiful little
village, with post-office, doctor s, schools, storcs, and churches. The
population is purely native American.
The Academy's property is one-quarter of a mile fr om the station. It is about 300 feet above mcan ocean tide level, supplied
with electric light from Phoenixville and reached in about one
hour and thirty minutes by train service from the Reading Terminal at Philadelphia. It is north of th e village, surrounded by
typical Pennsylvania farm land, the scencry 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

HIST ORICAL ASSOCIATION OF THE PROPERTY
Chester County is probably richer in hi storical association
than any other county in Pennsylvania, or even in the United
States. It awakens m emories of Brandywine, Paoli and Valley
Forge. At the "Yellow Springs," the form er name of the Academy
property, the Revolutionary Army under Washington encamped
on its way to Warwick Furnace, September 17, 1777, after the
battle of Brandywine, which was fought September 11th. On
September 12th to 13th, the army was at Queen Lane on the Falls
of the Schuylkill. On September 14th the army left the Falls.
On September 15th it reached Buck Tavern, and on the 16th was
near White Horse Tavern. Washington is said to have passed the
night at the Red Lion Inn (Lionville), about three miles from
Yellow Springs.
On September 17, 1777, Washington wrote to the President
of Congress: "Yesterday the ellemy 11I0ved froll! Concord by the
Edgemont Road tOZIJa1'ds the Lallcoster Road, with evidellt desigll
to gain O1W right flank. This obliged liS to alter o/lr position alld

U pon tl
of tlle present studio bl1l1 dlllg, a HOSPlt~1 was erected by Congress
in 1777 for the sick and wounded s~ldlers. Many of those who
died in ilieir Country's cause are buned b~tween the Hospital and
the public road, and also upon the other sIde of Pickering Creek,
in ilie triangle of ground between the Creek and the south line of
the Academy's property. At the time the Hospital was established
the property was owned by Dr. Samuel Kennedy, who turned it
o\'er without charge to the Government. Six months prior to the
D eclaration of Independence, January 3, 1776, Dr. Kennedy petiti oned Congress as follows:
"To T he Honorable, the COlltinental Congress:
" The P etition of Samuel Kennedy 1110St respectfully showeth:
T hat J'oll r petitioner has been in the practice of Physics and Surger'jI upw ards of twenty 3' Ca1'S, 'with rep~ttation, and would cheel'fu lly serv e his COlllltry in the most acceptable manner his capacity
alld ability w ill admit of. Thercfore he prays that yotW Honors b'e
pleased to appoint him to aile of the Eaualions now about to be
raised."
SAMUEL KENNEDY.
Two weeks later his petItlOl1 was granted and he was commissioned Surgeon of the Fourth Pennsylvania Battalion, commanded
by Anthony Wayne.
The Historical Society of Chester County, shortly after the
Academy acquired the property, placed a memorial boulder at the
Ul1ct.iOl? of the Kimberton and White Horse Roads, bearing an
Il1scnptlon upon a bronze plate as follows:

belief in curative property of natural mineral waters, and according
to reports there were from 100 to 500 people here at a time."
Part of the present
Washington
Building, the eastern en d
.
.
was built by John BaIley 111 1750, In it W ashington spent the
night, and one or two of his existing letter s ar e dated from
"Yellow Springs." The original Inn was burned down with the
exception of this eastern end, but that part fort unately r emains
almost intact. It has been carefully r estored, and furnish ed wi th
simple Colonial furniture which look s as if it had always been
there. The room in which Washing t on is said to have passed the
night has been furnished throug h the generosity of Charles L.
Hamilton, with pieces of the R evolutionary period. The part of
the building burned was at right a ng les to this eastern end, and
extended out to the public road.
J
The old Inn entertained many famous guests, but its Register
has long since disappeared and tradition only has preserved thei r
names. It seems to have been especiall y visited by prominent
statesmen. Webster, Clay , and D e Witt Clinton used its wate rs.
An old sulphur spring in the meadow , w hich has been disused fo r
many years, is called "The J enny Li nd Spring," because that
famous singer took its cure. It is n ow enclosed in a quaint old
building of Colonial architecture, which is occasionally used by the
students as a studio.
Owing to the loss of records prior t o the R evolutionar y period,
the history of the old Inn cannot be w r itten, but "The Yallow
Springs," as it was sometimes called, continued a fa mous r esort.
After Dr. Kennedy acquired it h e advertised the pr oper ty "to be
lett," His advertisement, dated F ebrua r y 4, 1774, described it as:
"That noted Inn at the
these baths is well known to
which is the great concourse
persons have convened there
Yallow Springs***the advantage of
the public, the incontestible pr oof of
of people, from four to six hund red
on one day in the Summer Season."
In 1814 the locality was laid out into building lots under the
name of "The town of Bath." One h undred lots were marked off.
~he old Yellow Springs lot was r eserved for the use of all the
propnetors in the town. The advertisem ent states:
[ 95 ]
"The celebrity of the Yellow prings, the medicinal qualities
of their waters and the salubrity of the air, have been so long
known and so generally resorted to and appro\'ed, as to render it
unnecessary to describe them particularly."
It is especially appropriate that The Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts, which is the oldest art institution in America, should
establish its Country School in so historic a spot.
THE AIM OF THE SCHOOL
William P. Osborn
The chief object of the Academy in establishing a Fine Arts
school in the country is to afford instruction in the open air, and
under a most healthy em'ironment, with all the beautiful surroundings of nature herself, in order to supplement instruction within
the \\"alls of classrooms, and afford an opportunity for the study
of art in the Summer, to school teachers, and others who cannot
spare the time to study in the Winter. The buildings are kept
open throughout the year, so that nature may be seen and studied
in all her varying moods.
The methods of instruction at the Chester Springs School are
substantially the same as those at the Academy in Philadelphia
during its regular " Tinter courses, that is, by individual criticism
of class work, special attention, however, being paid to landscape
drawing and painting, and to the study of sunlight and shade. The
aim of the instruction is academic, and this aim is far-reaching.
While the range of the fine art instruction is as broad as possible,
all fashions and mannerisms are avoided, and upon an academic
basis students are taught to make studies of nature rather than
sketches, and are also taught to carryon their work as far as their
abilities permit,
THE SCHOOL IN WINTER
GROUP IN CO:lIPETITTON FOR FIRST CRESSON AWARD
(PAINTING CLASS, 1929)
The school at Chester Springs will remain open for the benefit
of those who wish to work during the Winter.
\\'inter affords a sp lendid opportunity to paint the bare trees
with or wilhout snow. \\'hen snow covers the landscape, the
country is cOl1\"erted into a veritable fairyland; and the colors of
early Spring are an added charm.
In addition to a class in landscape painting, there will be
classes in portraiture, life, still-life, and from the costumed moclel.
The mediums used will be oil, water color, etching, etc.
[97 ]
The modelling classes will include life, head, and composition.
Separate buildings are provided for men and for women. All
the buildings are electric lighted and steam heated, and supplied
with running hot and cold water. The studios have a north light.
Students enrolled at Chester Springs are eligible to compete
for Cresson travelling scholarships on an equal footing with students enrolled in the Academy in Philadelphia. Last year 29 of
these scholarships of $1175.00 each were awarded to the students
of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for travel and
study in Europe. The students at Chester Springs are also permitted to compete for Toppan prizes, if eligible according to the
rules, a full description of which, as well as of the Cresson prizes,
may be found in the circular of the Academy's Philadelphia school.
The school is under the care of D. Roy Miller, resident
manager, who, with Mrs. :-liller, lives at the school.
Besides receiving criticism from resident instructors at Chester
Springs, students will have the privilege of taking their work to
the Academy in Philadelphia in order t o receive criticism there.
The work of the students will be so arranged that time may be
given to out-door sports such as hiking, football, skating, snowshoeing, coasting, skiing, and so forth. Every afternoon, tea will be
served, in addition to the regular meals at other hourS.
In the evenings large fi r eplaces make cosy gathering places.
A radio keeps the School in touch with the outs ide world, and over
it are heard concerts and lectures. Lectures illustrated with lantern slides may be given in the school its elf, and a moving picture
outfit makes moving picture entertainments possible.
Ralph H. Humes
Finally, the wholesome life of the country will be found greatly
to benefit the art student, while his proximity to a large city like
Philadelphia cannot fail to stimulate him. It is very easy for him
to go to town for the day and study the works of art in the Philadelphia galleries such as those of The Penns),l vania Academy of
the Fine Arts, at Broad a nd Cherry St reets, the Wilstach Col1ection at Fairmount Park, the J ohn G. Johnson Collection, and the
important paintings at the Historical Society and at Independence
Hall.

ADMISSION AND 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 Country.
HE rates are as low as possible. They include both board
and tuition. These rates do not include the expense of clothing, laundry and materials for drawing, painting, and sculpture.
The latter may be purchased at the school store.
The rates for bO:lrd and lodging, including tuition, vary from
$20.00 a week, for students living in the dormitories, to $23.00 or
$27.00 per week, where private rooms are required. Students
wishing to register in the Normal Art course will pay $2.00 extra
per week. Board and tuition will be payable two weeks in advance,
and there will be no refund for any cause. Certified checks, government money orders, or travelers' checks will be accepted in
payment. Draw all checks to the order of The Pennsylvania
T
Academy of the Fine Arts.
Rooms may be reserved at any time, providing there are
.
vacanCles.
The table is simple and wholesome. ,\lilks and eggs are obtained from a neighboring dairy, and fresh vegetables are supplied
by farmers, or shipped out, when necessary, from the Philadelphia
market.
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 wi 11 be accepted for a shorter stay than two weeks.
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,
and a deposit of five dollars has been made to secure their room
or place in the dormitory. This fee will be deducted from the
regular rate of board and tuition upon the student's arrival at the
school.
No student under sixteen years of age is eligible for admission; and on the other hand, while there is no upper age limit. the
object of the school is to instruct young people in the study of art
rather than those of advanced age, or arrived artists. Applicants

As all students live in the Academy buildings, conformity
with r easonab le regulations is necessa ry, in order to secure proper
chaperonage and the exercise of superVISIOn. Students are expected to know how to conduct themselves from principles of
honor without specific r ules.

to reject and dismiss a ny student, without recourse, for any reason
which may seem sufficient in the opinion of the management, and
without assigning any reason.
