The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is the oldest art institution in
the United States and actually dates its existence from 1791, when Charles
Willson Pea le commen ced his efforts to organize in Philadelphia a school
for the fine arts. It was formally founded tn 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, seventyone public spirited citizens, of wham forty-one were lawyers, met for formal
organ ization, They prepared a petition for the incorporation of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts. The gather ing was a distinguished one, and the
obiect of the association, quaintly and vigorously expressed in the language
of the day, was:
"To promote tlte cultivation of the Fine Arts. in the United S tates of America. h y introducing correct and elegant copies from work s 0/ Ih e first Mos lers in Sculpture and Painting, and
by thus fa cilitating tlte access to sud, Sta ndards. and also by occasionally conferring modera te bul 11Onou ro.hle premiums, and otl1erwise assisJing lile Siudies and exciting tlte efforts
of tile Arts graduall y to unfold. enligllten, and invigorate th e talents of our Countrymen."

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 th e 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 Paintings and
Scu lpture affords on opportunity for the study of examples of famous masters,
and includes the Gallery of Notional Portraiture by Early Amer ican Pointers;
the Temple Collection of Modern American Paintings; The Gibson Collection,
largely composed of works of the Continental schools; and the Lambert Col lection of Contemporary Art.
The A nnual Exhibitions held by the Academy, of which this year's w ill be the
One Hundred and Forty-fifth, 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 many years as being the foremost in Amer ica. The Water Colo'Exhibition and the Exhibition of Modern Miniatures are held in the Fall of each
year. The exhibition of work of students subm itted in competition for Cresson
European Traveling 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 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 the owner of one of the largest an.d
most valuable print collections in the United States, with a total aggregate In
all co llections of 67,000 prints.
PAINTING. The painting classes are planned to assist each st d

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 Penn sylvania, through Its School
of Fine Arts, one of the most valuable features is the participation through and
with the Associat ion 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 periect whole. The Academy deems the opportun ities
thus afforded so va luable that it offers tuition scholarship prizes to those students whose teams place in the prize winning groups in the Rome Academy's
judgment.
Two terms of free tuition in the Winter School are, there fore, to be awarded to
each painter or painters and scu lptor or sculptors w hose team or teams place
first , second or third in the Association of the Alumn i 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 Sculpture), and shall use this tuition credit in the sc hool year directly following that
of the award.

~se sc a Ofships sholl be awarded under such rules and regu lotio.ns as sholl be adopted fro m t.me to t Ime by the
Boord of Directors of loe Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
Th e award of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship credits each student with $1250;
$950 to be used for a summer of travel and traveling expenses in Europe and
the remoining $300 pays for tuitio n in the ensui ng two terms immediately following at the Academy. An award is not to be regarded as a certificate of proficiency. The winners should consider rather, that the ir industry and promise have
wo n for them the opportunity to introduce into the ir period of schooling this
inspirotional 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 a ll otted as to
standard of work as one factor, and the number of contestants 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 Cressan Trave ling Schalarships in 1949. The student illustrations in
this catalogue are selected chiefly from the work of the winners in the 1949
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 scholarship may be entered
only 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.
RULE S GOVERNING THE CRESSON COMPETITION . Every student thirty-five
years of age or younger, in good health and without knowledge of any physical condition or any other reason to prevent accepting and properly using
such Scholarship, is elig ible for competition for a Cresson Traveling Scholar-
ship when they each have an aggregate of 96 Academy school weeks to th .
credit, Ylihich must have been accumulated within five (5) years of the date e~~
competition. The final 32 weeks (two terms) must be spent in the Winter School
of the Academy and must be within th e 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.
All students must have a complete and unbroken registration record over the
time included in comp uting eligibility (see "Registration of Work"). They must
also have comp leted satisfactorily their work in Perspective (two terms). Del inquencies due to absence for illness or other causes must be satisfactorily explained in writing to the Cu rator for excuse and all financial obligations must be
fully paid.
All students entering the competition are required to procure an appl icat ion for
permission to compete at the Curator's Office before the 10th day of March.
All work submitted in competition must be that which has been done in the
Academy classes or for Acad emy registration and has received criticism from
a member or members of the Faculty. It must also be work comp leted 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 specia l 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 and each Sculptor's
group must include a composition.
Paintings, Drawings, and Il lustrations exhibited in the Pa inting or Illustration
groups must not exceed 36 inches in either dimension, and must be exhibited
unframed and unglazed. If tape is used to trim unsightly edges of canvases it
may be used to give order rath er than enhance and must not encroach upon
the face of the canvas.
