GENERAL AND SPECIFIC ADVANTAGES
THE Faculty constitutes the greatest single ,met of the Academy's Schools.
LIBRARY. An excellent reference library is available to all registered
students al speci~ed limes. A valuable extension of this library exists in a
splendid collection of books, easy of "ccess to the students, which may be
taken to the class rooms for intimate study in connection with the class room
work.
Many other f"ctors, however, contribute to the glory dod strength of the
present institution. Its strategic loecllian, Galleries, library dod Print Col.

LOCATION. The: ACddemy building is IOCdte:d in the he.HI of Phildde:lphi"
within one block of City H"II ,md within two or three blocks of the centrdl
city ,,,dread stations. It is within walking distance of practically every 9dllery, museum, library, theatre and music hall of importance in the city. Considering Philadelphia's wealth in these cultural attributes, the student in the
Academy has immeasurable opportunities of augmenting his or her school
work in every possible ~eld of inspiration for art and living.
ACADEMY GALLERIES. The Academy's Permanent Collection of Paintings and Sculpture affords an opportunity for the study of examples of famous
masters, and includes the Gallery of National Portraiture by Early American
Painters; the Temple Collection of Modern American Paintings; The Gibson
Collection, largely composed of works of the Continental schools; and the
Lambert Collection of Contemporary Art.
The Annual bhibitions held by the Academy, of which this year's will be
the One Hundred and Thirty-second, bring together the best examples of
current AmeriCdn p.!inting and sculpture, and eOdble studen~ to follow intelligently the various movements of contemporary art, and to study the technical
methods by which the art of today is achieving its results. These eIChibitions
have been recognized for many years as being the foremost in America.
The Water Color bhibition, the Exhibition of Modern Miniatures, and the
Chester Springs Summer School Exhibition au: held in the Fall of each year.
The eIChibition of work of students submitted in competition for Cresson
European Tr'~JVeling Scholarships and other prizes is held at the end of May.
