T
HE Faculty constitutes the greatest single asset of the Academy 's
Schools .. Many . other factors, however, contribute to the strength 01
the present Institution. Its strategic location, Galleries Library and P' t
Collection, the Coordinat~d Courses with the University of Pennsylva~;: ,
the Ame;lcan Academy ~n Rome Collaborative problem and the many
sc holarship advantages will be briefly outlined below . (See "Scholarships
and Prizes" for details under that head.)
LO'::A TlON. The Ac~demy building is located in the heart of Phil adelphia
Within one block of City Hall and within two or three blocks of the central
city railroad stati?ns. It is within walking distance of practically every
galle~y, ~useu~, library, ,theatre a~d 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
sc hoo l work in every possible field of in spiration for art and living.
ACADEMY GALLERIES. Th e Academy 's Permanent Collection of PaintHugh E. Weiss

ings and Sculpture affords an opportunity for the study of examples of
famous masters, and includes the Gallery of National Portrai ture by Early
American Painters; the Temple Collection of Modern American Pain ting s;
The Gibso n Collection, largely composed of works of th e Continenta l
sc hools; and the Lambert Collection of Contemporary Art.
The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy, of which th is year's wi ll be
the One Hundred and Forty-fifth, bring together the best examples of
current American painting and sc ulpture , and enable students to follow
intelligently the various movements of co ntemporary 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 other prizes is held at the end of M,ay. Other special
exhibiti ons con tinually change the aspect of the Galleries throughout the
Winter season, A student ti cket entitles the holder, during attendance at
the Academy, to free admission to the Galleries, ~pec ial Exh,ibitions ,
Lectures, and to the use of the Library and Print Collection.
LIBRARY. An excellent reference library is available ,to ?II regist~red, stu-
dents at specified times. A valuable extension of .thl~ .l lbrary eXists In a
collection of books, easy of access to students for 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.
PAINTING. The painting classes are planned t0 assl.st eac h stu d ent up
The general method 01 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, ond to stimulate their sense of beauty. The various classifications of study ore closely allied and students in one department are privileged to work in the other departments by arrangement with the Curator.

DRAWING. These classes are maintained primarily to provide a groundwork in drawing which may be developed later in the Painting and Illu stration 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.

PART TIME CLASSES. Owing to the inability of the Academy to accept
all of the eligible applicants for full-time study it is necessary to withdraw,
until further no tice, the privilege granted to former students to attend on
a part-time basis.
COLLA BORA T/VE PROBLEM. It is the aim of the Academy 's School s to
approach the fine arts. in th~ broadest. sens:. Toward that en? and becau:e
of the ideol coo rdinotlon With the University of Pennsylvania , through ItS
School of Fine Arts, one of the most valuable features is the participation
through ond with the As socic:tion of the Alun:'ni of .the Ameri ca n A caden;y
in Rome in their Collaborative Problem. Thi S protect engages students In
architecture, landscape architecture, mural decoration a nd scu lpture.
Teams of four are formed, the latter two members from the A cade my, in
the study of these, the four great art departments, toward a perfe ct whole.
The A code my deems the opportunities thus afforded so valuable that it
offers tuition scholarship prizes to those students whose teoms place in the
prize winning groups in the Rome Academy's judgment.
Two terms of free tuition in the Winter School are , therefore , to be
oworded to each painter or painters and sculptor or sculptors whose team
or teams place first, second or third in the Association of the Alumn i of
the American Academy in Rome judg ment ; provided, that in the acceptance of such scholarship, the students will major in their respective departments (Mural Deco ration and Sculpture), and shall use this tuition credi t
in the schoo l year directly following that of the award.

$ 12 50; $9 50 to b e used for a summer of travel and traveling expenses in
Europe a nd t he remaining $300 pays for tuition in the ensuing two terms
immediately followi ng a t the A cademy. An award is not to be regarded
as a certifica te of profi cien cy . The w inners should consider rather, that their

recipient is required to return to the A cadem y for further study and the
financ ial arran gement is thu s p lanned to insure this program.

awarded Cresson Tra velin g Scholarshi ps in 1949. The student illustrations in
this catalogue ore selected chiefl y from the work of the wi nners in the 1948
