Coordinated Course with the University of Pennsylvania, the American
Academ~ in Rom: Collab~rative problem and the many scholarship advantages will be briefly outlined below. (See "Scholarships and Prizes" for
details under that head.)
L?~ATlON. The Ac~demy building is located in the heart of Philadelphia
within one block of City Hall and within two or three blocks of the central
city railroad stations. It is within walking distance of practically every gallery, 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 field of inspiration for art and living.
ACADEMY GALLERIES. The Academy's Permanent Collection of Paint.
ings 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 Collectio n of Contem porary Art.
The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy, of which this year's will be
the One Hundred and Th irty-ninth, bring together the best examples of
current American painting and sculpture, and enable students 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 exhibitions
have been recognized for man y years as being the foremost in America.
The Water Colo r Exhibition and the Exhibition of Modern Miniatures, are
held in the Fall of each year. The exhibition of work of students submitted
in competition for Cresson Eu ropean Travelling Scholarships and other prizes
is held at the end of May. Other special exhibitions continually change the
aspect of the Galleries throughout the Winter season.
A student ticket entitles the holder, during attendance at the Academy, to
free admission to the Galleries, Special Exh ibitions, Lectures, and to the use
of the Librllry lind Print Collection.

LIBRARY. An excellent reference library is availabl:
all r~gist~red
students at specified times. A valua.ble exte~sion of this library eXISts ,n a
students at specified times. A splendid collection of books, easy of access to
with their individual research.
PRINT COLLECTION. The Academy is the owner of one of the largest
and most valuable print collections in the United States, with a total aggregate in all collections of 67,000 prints.
T~e general metho.d of instruction is by individual
~'thout the repressing effect of fixed methods. The
criticism of class work,
purpose of this training
IS to develop the students' natural abilities to enable them to ac

'
qUire ec nlque,
and to st~mulate their sen~e of beauty. The various classifications of study are
closely allied and students In one department are privileged to work in the other
departments by arrangement with the Curator. This entails no additional fee.
COORDINATED COURSES. The University of Pennsylvania offers its degrees
of Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts to students of Painting, Sculpture, Mural
Decoration, or Illustration, who have completed a course of academic study in
the University and prescribed technical work in the Schools of The Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts.
A TIENDANCE. There is no compulsory attendance in any class or classes
of the Academy school, but every day student is afforded the fullest possible
opportunity to actively participate in a schedule which can completely fill
six or seven day hours six days of every school week plus three additional
evening hours on five of those days.
The minimum time spent in the Coordinated Course by any student, not counting those with advance credit, is five years, during which time fifty-eight (58)
semester credits must be completed in required academic courses at the University and technical work throughout that complete period at the Academy.
SCHEDULE OF CLASSES. All new students, except those who enter the
Sculpture Classes, are required to work on trial in either the Antique Cast

Head or Antique Cast Figure drawing classes. Students who present evidence
of work accomplished in accredited art schools may, upon consultation with
the curator, be admitted into more advanced classes immediately.
DRAWING. These classes are maintained primarily to provide a ground·
work in drawing which may be developed later in the Painting and Illustration Classes. Working in monochrome (generally black and white) from the
plaster cast, both head and figure with unchanging light, provides the
beginner with that opportunity to grasp the problems of light and shade
toward the expression of form more easily than by work from living models.
58
Advanced stand ing for academic work up to 22 semester credits may be
allowed by the University. For previous technical study of the Fine Arts the
Academy may allow credit up to two full years, (This does not apply to the
terms of the Cresson Competition.) 72 semester credits of the 122 required.
The technical work of the student is judged each term by the Committee on
the Coordinated Courses. Reports are rendered each term. In the academic
courses the standing is reported each term by the University.

MURAL DECORATION. The chief purpose or this ciass is TO train
advanced students in solving the architectural problems of decoration
based upon a sound compositional knowledge, and appreciation of scale.
The actual mechanics which this branch of the Fine Arts involves are
thoroughly studied so that the various painting techniques employed in
the mural expression may be understood and acquired.
SCULPTURE. This department introduces its students to and trains
technically in modelling and its application. Special emp hasis is placed
upon Sculpture as al lied to its sister arts, Painting and Architecture.

COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM. It is the aim of the Academy's Schools t
opprooch the fine arts in the broadest sense. Toward that end and becaus~
of the idea! coordination with the University of Pennsylvania, through its
School of Fine . Arts, one of. t~e most valuable features is the participation
~hrough a~d wlt.h the Assocl~tlon of the Alumni of the American Academy
In Rome In their Collaborative Problem. This project engages students in
orchitecture, landscape architecture, mural decoration and sculpture. Teams
of four are formed, the latter two members from the Academy, in the study of
these, the four great art departments , toward a perfect whole. The Academy
deems the opportunities thus afforded so valuable that it offers tuition
scholarship prizes to those students whose teams place in the prize winning
groups in the Rome Academy's judgment. For particulars see Collaborative
Prizes under" Prizes and Scholarships."
Four student exhibitions were held during the winter session of 1942-43 as benefits for the American Red Cross. Through this laudable and timely activity it
was possible for the students, many of whom could afford to give but very
small donations in money, to turn approximately Three Hundred Dollars over
to this exemplary cause.
Another extracurricular activity of the winter of 1942-43 was an exhibition
of student work organized by the Fellowship of the P.A.F.A. This exhibition was
designed to give students experience in the prepa ring and submitting of work
for presentation before a professional jury appointed by the Fellowship and
not containing any of the Faculty, and consisted of Paul Froelich, Cyril Gardner,
Jane Ligget, and Albert Serwazi. About eighty items were registered and only
forty accepted and hung. The exhibition was staged in Gallery C, opening with
a small reception on May 8th, and continuing through the time of the Cresson
Competition showing. Honorable M$ntions were given to Janet Sanns Benton,
in Water Color Painting; Paul Anthony G~'!enwood, in Sculpture; and to Helen
Omansky, in Oil Painting.

knowledge in these f ie lds.
A change from the European travel stipulation has been granted for the duration of the war by a special decree of the Orphans Court, dated April 26th,
1940. Winners in the competition of May, 1944, will be required to use the
traveling money for travel or st udy in the Western Hemisphere on schedules

($900.00) any time within two years and fou r months of the receipt of the award.
The $200.00 credit for tuition, however, must be used within the year following
the award. The financial and itinerary repo rt as approved by the Academy
and as carried out, must be filed in the Curato r's office within six weeks of the
completion of the travel period.
Two terms of free tu itio n in the Winter School are, therefore, to be awarded

Academ~ in Rome judgment; provided, that in the acceptance of such
scholars~lp, the students will major in their respective departments (Mural
Decoration and Sculpture), and shall use this tuition credit in the school year
directly following after that of the award.
