HISTORY
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is t~e ol~est art instituti on in t he United States and actually dates Its eXistence from
179 1, when Charles Willson Peale commenced his efforts to
orga nize in Philadelphia a school for the fine arts. It was forma lly founded in 1805, and chartered in 1806. Mr. Peale's first
efforts resulted in the formation in 1794 of the Columbianum,
and in 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 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
we re lawyers , met for formal organization. They prepared a
peti tio n for the incorporation of the Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts. The gathering was a distinguished one, and in cl uded George Clymer, a signer of the Declaration of Independence; Joseph Hopkinson, the author of "Hail Columbia";
W illi am Tilghman, President of the Court of Common Pleas, and
afte rwa rds Chief Justice of Pennsylvania; Charles Willson Peale,
Wi lliam Rush and Rembrandt Peale, artists; Alexander J. Dallas,
Dist rict Attorney of the United States; Joseph B. McKean, Attorney General of the Commonwealth; William Lewis, William M.
Mered ith , 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:
.. To promote the cultivation of the Fine Arts, in the United States of America,
by introducing correct and elegant copies from works of the first Masters
in Sculpture and Pointing, and by thus facilitating the access to such Standards, and also by occasionally conferring moderate but honourable
premiums, and otherwise assisting the Studies and exciting the efforts of
the Artists gradually to unfold, enlighten, and invigorate th e talents of
our Countrymen."
,
THE FUNCTION of the Academy as one of the greatest
American galleries presents the public with its opportunity for
heightened appreciation and enjoyment and , on t,he other hand,
its students with an easy and intimate contact With the best of
past and contemporary art. Its maintenance of one ~f t~e m~st
eminently renowned schools, winte~ and s~mme r, ,fu lfills Its o~lg
inal pledge in providing students With their :ech nl c~ 1 fo ~ndatlon
and esthetic background. This circular c~ntalns ~eta iled Inforrr:a tion relative to the Winter School in Phdadelphla, Pennsylvania.

HE Faculty constitutes the greatest single asset of th~ Acad'emy's Schools. Many other factors, however, contnbute to
the strength of the present institution. Its strategic location,
Galleries, Library and Print Collection, the Coordinated Courses
with the University of Pennsylvania, the American Academy in
Rome Collaborative problem and the many scholarship advantages will be briefly outlined below. (See "Scholarships and
Prizes" for details under that head.)
T
LOCATION. The Academy building is located in the heart of
Philadelrhia 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 Phila delphia'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.
ACA~E.MY GALLERIES. The Academy's Permanent Collection
of Paintings and Sculpture affords an opportunity for the study
of ~xamples of. famous masters, and includes the Gallery of
Natlon~1 Portraiture by Early American Painters; the Temple
~ollectlon of Modern American Paintings; The Gibson Collection, largely composed of works of the Continental schools; and
the Lambert Collection of Contemporary Art.
The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy, of which this
year's will be the One Hundred and Forty-second , bring togethe r
the best examples of current American painting and sculpture,
and enable students to follow intelligently the various move.
ments 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 many years as being the foremost in
America. The Water Color 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 European Traveling Scholarships and othe r 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 Exhibitions,
Lectures, and to the use of the Library and Print Collection.
LIBRARY. An excellent reference library is available to all registered students at specified times. A valuable extension of this
library exists in a collection of books, easy of access to students
for individual research.
PRINT COLLECTION. The Academy is th e owner of one of th e
largest and most valuable print collections in the Uni!ed States,
with a total aggregate in all collections of 67,000 prints.

- The general method of instruction is by individual criticism of
class work, without the repressing effect of fixed methods. The
purpose of this training is to develop the students' natural abilities, to enable them to acquire technique, and to stimulate their
sense 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.
ATTENDANCE. 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.
SCHEDU LE OF CLASSES. All new students, except those who
enter th~ Sculpture Classes, are required to work on trial in either
the Antique Cast Head or Antique Cast Figure drawing classes.
Stud~nts who present evidence of work accomplished in acc~td!ted a.rt schools may, upon consultation with the Curator, be
cL mltted Into more advanced classes immediately.
DRAWING. ~hese cI~sses a:e maintained primarily to provide
a groundwork 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.

MURAL DECORATION. The chief purpose of this class 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.

each of the classes listed under the department in which he or
she is enrolled. For example: the student in Preliminary Painting
registers one Life, Head, Construction, Costumed Sketch, Composition and Still Life per month. The exceptions and special
classes are listed below. The same work cannot be registered
more than once. An unbroken record of registration is necessary
for eligibility for competitions, and is required of all students in
the Coordinated Course. Written requests for excuse upon legitimate grounds (illness, unavoidable absence, etc.) must be
addressed to the Curator for approval.
Attendance upon the classes on Discussions in Painting is not
compulsory but students are particularly urged to attend all
through their Academy experience, Composition studies and
finished work will be registered according to posted regulations.
Perspective drawing is a two-term (one-winter) course and is
compulsory of satisfactory completion before any student may

aw~rd of a Collaborative Scholarship, and also upon all students
taki~g the Coordinated Course with the University of Pennsylvania. Every student is urged to get credit for this course in his
first or second year.
,:natomy lectures are not compulsory but every student is advised to attend regularly for at least two terms (one winter).

PROMOTION. Application for pron-lotlon f.r0m the First ~n
tique Cast Drawing section .to the ~e~ond Antique C.ast Drawing
section and subsequently Into Painting or Illustration may be
made at any stated monthly meeting of the Faculty. A group of
Drawings or Paintings, one each from all branches of classes
attended, is placed for judgment with the application. Each work
submitted must have the approval of the Instructor of the class
in which it is made. If the Faculty finds the group of insufficient
merit to warrant promotion the student may submit another
group to the Faculty at any subsequent meeting. Admission to
the Advanced Head and Advanced Life Painting classes is also
by action of the Faculty upon the submission of one head or life
painting (respectively) accompanied by a line drawing made from
the life model as posed in the class. Work submitted needs no
Instructor approval.
Admission to the Mural Decoration Class is arranged by conference with the Instructor and the Curator.
All students in the Sculpture classes begin, upon entrance and
regardless of what previous experience they have had, in the
regular head and life classes. Their entrance into the broader
activities of the Sculpture department is arranged by conference with the Instructor and the Curator.
OPPOR~UNITIES FOR VETERANS. The Pennsylvania Academy
of :he Fine Arts offers opportunities for study to veterans who
s~tlsfy entr~nce requirements and who are eligible for educational b~neflts under the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944.
EVENING CLASSES. The evening classes are planned for those
students whose activities or livelihood do not permit them to
attend the day session. Students admitted under this head are
not eligible to compete for prizes or scholarships and credits
are given only by special arrangement with the Curator. The
fees are set at a reasonable figure so that many may enjoy the
privilege of Drawing, Painting, or Modelling in the life classes.
See "Fees" for details. All day students are entitled to work in
the evening classes without extra fee.

PART TIME CLASSES. A courtesy part time registration with out
prize or scholarship eligibility or credits is offered to former students at greatly reduced rates to aid them with instruction , the
invaluable continued use of models, and to concretely express
the genuine interest the Academy has in all ihose who have studied here. (See Rates.)
COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM. It is the aim of the Academy's
Schools to approach the fine arts in the broadest sense. Toward
that end and because of the ideal coordination with the University of Pennsylvania, through its School of Fine Arts, one of the
most valuable features is the participation through and with the
Association of the Alumni of the American Academy in Rome in
their Collaborative Problem. This project engages students in
architecture, 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."
An extracurricular activity of the winter of 1945- 1946 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 preparing and submitting of work for presentation
before juries appointed by the Fellowship, and consisted of Paul
Froelich, William Jepson and Warren Thomas for the paintings
and Harry Rosin, Frederick Holschuh, Cha rles Rudy, Mary Lawser for the sculpi·ure. About eighty items were registered and
only fifty items were accepted and hung. The exhibition was
staged in Gallery A opening with the reception of the Fellowship
Annual Water Color exhibition on March 16th and continuing
until April 7th.

FREE TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS. Free tuition scholarships are
available to returning students whose financial obligations have
been met in full, for at least two terms. These scholarships are
solely for the purpose of financia~ly assisting those. who would
otherwise be unable to pursue their study of art. Eighteen and
one-half full free tuition scholarships and eight half tuition scholarships were awarded in May, 1945, for the Winter School year
1945-1946. The major number of these are made available each
year by George D. Widener in memory of his father and mother,
George D. Widener and Mrs. Alexander Hamilton Rice, and
through the John Lambert Memorial Fund. Others are made
available through bequests of various friends of the Academy to
be used for scholarship aid: The Louise Harrison Memorial
Scholarships given by Thomas S. Harrison in memory of his wife;
The Mary R. Burton Scholarships; The Sarah Kaighn Cooper
Memorial Sch ola rship through the generosity of Mrs. George K.
Johnson; The Elizabeth H. Thomas Memorial Scholarship; and
The George M. Wiltbank Scholarships through the bequest of
Annie C. Wiltbank.
Applicat~on may be made in the Spring of each year. These
schola rshlP.s are awarded by the Board of Directors upon the recomm~ ndatlon of t~e.Committee on Instruction and the Faculty.
Appl icants must flil In a prepared form and submit it together
with not more than four unframed examples of their work to the
Curato r be~ore. the stated meeting of the Faculty for May, 1947.
These applications must be accompanied by a letter addressed
to th~ Committee on Instruction stating the necessity for req uestl ng free tu ition.
At the discretion of the management, and at times when there
is a particular demand for such help , certain of these scholarships
may be granted as half scholarships.
The Norman Bishusky Memorial Scholarship will be available for
+he winter session of 1946-47 to a pupil from the Trenton Centra l
High School, Trenton, New Jersey.
One free tuition scholarship for two semesters is offered this year
through the Scholastic Magazine in their competition entitled
Scholastic Awards .
THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMO RIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
By the liberal provisions of the wills of Emlen Cresson and Priscilla P., his wife, a
Fund has been created as a memorial to their decea sed son, Will iam Emlen Cresson ,
Academician, the income of which is to be applied by The Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts in sending pupils of merit to Eur ope. These scholarships shall be
av.arded und er such rules and regulations as shall be adopted from time to time by
The Board of Directors of The Pe nnsy lvani a Academy of th e Fi ne Arts .
The aViard of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship credits each student with $1200; $950 to be used for a summer of travel and
traveling expenses, and the remaining $250 pays for tuition in
ihe ensuing two terms immediately following at the Acadomy.
An award is not to be regarded as a certificate of proficiency.
The winners should consider rather, that their industry and promise have won for them the opportunity to introduce into their
period of schooling this inspirational and broadening incident.
Each recipient is required to return to the Academy for further
study and the financial arrangement is thus planned to insure
this program.
The awards are divided among all departments of study and are
allotted as to standard of work as one factor, and the number of
co ntestants proportionally from each department as the other
factor .
The awards are made by the Board of Directors through its Committee on Instruction, upon the recommendation of the Faculty.
Eight students were awarded Cresson Trave!ing Scholarships in
1945. The student illustrations in this catalogue are selected
chiefly from the work of the winners in the 1945 competition .
In the case of exceptional merit and when a very decided improvement is evident a student may, through the same authority,
receive the award a second time. Competition for a second
sc holarship must be entered during the year succeeding the first
award, unless otherwise ruled or a satisfactory excuse be accepted by the Committee on Instruction.
The Faculty is not obliged to recommend awards of Cresson
scholarships if, in its opinion, the work submitted is not of sufficient merit to justify such recommendations.
RU LES GOVERNING THE CRESSON COMPETITION. Every
student thirty-five years of age or younger, in good health and
witho ut knowledge of any physical condition or any other reason
to prevent accepting and properly using such Scholarship, is
eligible for competition for a C resson Traveling Scholarship when
they each have an aggregate of 96 Academy school weeks to
their credit, which must have been accumulated within five (5)
years of the date of competition. The final 32 weeks (two terms)
must be spent in the Winter School of the Academy and must be
within the school year of competition. Time spent in the Summer
School of the Academy is counted (provided certain requirements have been fulfilled) in the aggregate of the first 64 weeks.

Every student must have a complete a.nd u~b:o.k~n regi~:rati~n
record over the time included in computing eligibility (see Registration of Work"). They must also have completed satisfactorily

in writing to the Curator for excuse and all financial obligations
must be fully paid.
All students entering the competition are required to procure an
application for permission to compete at the Curator's Office

It must also be work completed within the last 32 weeks of the
Winter School or in the Summer Session immediately preceding.
Either the stamp from monthly registration or one by special
arrangement at the Curator's office must be upon each work
exhibited.
All competitors are unrestricted as to the amount and variety of
work they submit in the competition groups, provided they do
not exceed the space allotted to them but each Painter's group
must include a landscape.
'
Paintings, .Drawings, and Illustrations exhibited in the Painting
o.r Illustration groups must not exceed 36 inches in either dimenSion, and .must ~e. exhibited unframed and unglazed. If tape is
used to trim un!:iightly edges of canvases it may be used to give
order rather than enhance and must not encroach upon the face
of the canvas.
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, 1947, will be required to use the traveling money for travel
or study in the Western Hemisphere on schedules and itineraries
checked and approved by the Academy, unless in the judgment
of the Academy traveling conditions in Europe are desirable and
safe. Each student awarded a First Cresson Traveling Scholarship will present a plan which covers a specified period of days
and a complete financial and itinerary report as carried out will
be filed in the Office of the Curator before the first day of
November following the award. Each student awarded a Second
Cresson Traveling Scholarship is granted the privilege of using
the credit for travel ($950 .00) any time within two years and four
months of the receipt of the award. The $250.00 credit for tuition, however, must be used within the year following the award.
The financial and itinerary report as approved by the Academy
and as carried out must be filed in the Curator's office within six
weeks of the completion of the travel period.
In the event that in the judgment of the Academy conditions for
European travel are desirable and safe, each student awarded a
First Cresson Traveling Scholarship must leave for Europe on or
before June 15th of the year of award; otherwise the scholarship
is revoked. A period of at least 90 days in Europe must be accounted for in the financial and itinerary report which is required
for filing in the office of the Curator before the first day of
November following the award. Each student awarded a Second
Cresson Traveling Scholarship is granted the privilege of using
•
the credit for havel ($950 .00) any time within two years and four
months of the receipt of the award. The $250.00 credit for tuition , however, must be used within the year following the award.
The financial and itinerary report covering the period of at least
90 days in Europe is also obligatory upon them and must be filed
at the Curator's office within six weeks of their return to America.
All the above rules are subject to change due to war conditions.
THE LEWIS S. WARE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP. The Lewis
S. Ware Memorial Scholarship, in accordance with the will of the
Testator, provides a European Traveling Scholarship in amount and
regulations similar to those of Cresson Scholarships of that year.
This scholarship will be available at intervals of possibly three or
four years and is to be awarded when available by the President
with the advice of the Faculty to a student of outstanding merit
who is not receiving a Cresson Scholarship that year. This Scholarship was awarded in May, 1944.
COLLABORATIVE SCHOLARSHIPS. Realizing the growing interest in and the demand for well-trained Mural Decorators and
Sculptors acquainted with the problems of their co-artists the
architects, this scholarship is designed particularly to encourage
talented students toward competent and thorough knowledge in
these fields.
Two terms of free tuition in the Winter School are, therefore, to
be owarded to each painter or painters and sculptor or sculptors
whose team or teams place first, second or third in the Association of the Alumni of the American Academy in Rome judgment;
provided, that in the acceptance of such scholarship, the students
will major in their respective departments (Mural Decoration and

the Academy. Upon completion of the work the competitor
places a corresponding number upon the study to be submitted
to the Jury of Award.
