(Note) While this program is not designed primarily for teacher preparation,
speCifically in the public school system, many graduates are holding responsible
teaching p ositions in the private school field.
ART EDUCATION PROGRAM . The program for the Bachelor of Science in
Education degree (for teaching and supervising art education in the public
schools) is also a five year course; the first two years of which are divided
between the University and the Academy. At the end of the second year the
student must transfer from the undergraduate Coordinated Program, as outlined above, to the School of Education for a full time program to complete
the remaining three years of the course .
The technical work of the student is judged each term by the Committee on
the Coardinated Program and the stu dent is graded on one example from each
class in which he is registered. Reports are re ndered each term, and in the
academic courses standing is reported each term by the University.
The students in these courses share all privileges extended to the student-body
of each institution and are also subject to the regulations imposed.
Applications should be mode as early as possible. Candidates for admission
to the Coordinated Courses must meet the requirements of each institution but
must be accepted and approved by the Academy before they can be admitted
to the University.
For information regarding the University write direct to the Office of Admissions,
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 4, Pa.
REGISTRATION Of WORK . Each student is required to register one example
of swr.l<, once each month, representing effort in 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 reg istration is necessary for eligibility for competition, and is
required of all students in the Coordinated Program. Written requests for excuse
upon legitimate grounds (illness, unavoidable absence, etc .) must be addressed
to the Curator
for approval.
"

compulsory but stude nts are particulorly urged to attend all through their
Academy experience. Composition studies and finished work will be registered

Collaborative Scholarship, and also upon all stude nts taking the Coordinated
C.our~e with the University of Pennsylvania. Every student is urged to get credit
for this course in his first or second year.
Anatomy lectures are not compulsory but every student is advised to attend

Arts offers opportun ities for study to veterans who satisfy entrance requirements
and who are eligible for educational benefits under the Servicemen's Read iustment Act of 1944.

COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM. It is the aim of the Academy's Schools to
approach the fine arts iI'\" the broadest sense. Toward that end and because
of the ideol 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
Coll~barotive Problem. This project engages students in architecture, landscape
architecture, mural decoration and sculpture. Teams of four are formed the
laller two members from the Academy, in the study of these, the four gre~t art
departments, toward a perfect whole. The Academy deems the oppartun ities
thus afforded so valuoble 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, therefore, to be awarded to
each pointer ar pointers 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 Sculpture), and sholl use this tuition credit in the school year directly following that
of the award.
FREE TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS. Free tuition scholarships are available to
registered students whose financial obligations have been met in full, for at least
two terms. These scholarships are solely for the purpose of financially assisting
those who would otherwise be unable to pursue their study of ar\. 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, ond through the John Lambert Memorial Fund. Others are mode
available through bequests of various friends of the Academy to be used for
scholarship aid: The Louise Harrison Memorial Scholarships given by Thoma s
S. Harrison in memory of his wife; The Mary R. Burton Scholarships; The Sarah
Kaighn Cooper Memorial Scholarship through the generosity of Mrs. George
K. Johnson; The Elizabeth H. Thomas Memorial Scholarship; ond The George
M. Wiltbank Scholarships through the bequest of Annie C. Wiltbank.
Applicotion may be made in the Spring of each year. These scholarships are
oworded by the Boord of Directors upon the recommendation of the Committee on Instruction and the Faculty. Applicants must fill in a prepared form
and submit it together with no more than four unframed examples of their work
to the Curator before the stated meeting of the Faculty in April.

THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
Bv Ihe libe ra l pro .... isions of the will s of Ern len Cresson and Priscilla P.~ ~js wife, ,0 Fund hos ~een. creoled
as Q me moriol 10 their deceased son, William Ernlen Cresson, Academlclon, the Income of which IS to be
applied by the Pennsy lvonia Academy of the Fine Arts in sending pupils of merit to Europe. These scholarships shol l be awarded under such rules and regulations as sholl be adopted from lime to lime by fhe
Boord of Directors of the Pennsylvania Academy of Ihe Fine Arts.
The award of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship credits each student with $1350;
$1050 to be used for a summer of travel and traveling expenses in Europe and
the remaining $300 pays for tuition in the ensuing two terms immediately followin g at the Academy. 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 awa rds are divided among all departments of study and are allotted as to
sta ndard of work as one factor, and the number of contestants proportionally
from each department as the other foetor.
Th e awards are made by the Board of Directors through its Committee on
Instruction, upon the recommendation of the Faculty. Eight students were
awarded Cresson Traveling Scholarships in 1951. Th e student illustrations ill
th is catalogue are selected chiefly from the work of th e winners in the 1951
competition. In the case of exceptional merit and when a very decided improvement is evident a student may, through the same autharity, receive the
award a second time. Competition for a second scholarship may be entered
on ly dUring the year succeeding the first award, unless otherwise ruled or a
satisfactory excuse be accepted by the Committee on Instruction.
•
All students entering the competition are required to procure an application for
permission to compete at the Curator's Office before the 10th day of Morch.
All work submitted in competition must be that which has been done in the
Academy classes or for Academy registration and has received criticism from
a member or members of the Faculty. 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 exh ibited.
All competitors are unrestricted as to the amount and voriety 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 Illustrations exhibited in the Painting ar Illustration
groups may be any size but must not exceed the allotted space, and must be
exhibited unframed and unglazed. If tape is used to trim unsightly edges of
canvases it may be used to give order rather than enhance and must not encroach upon the face of the canvas.
A period of at least 90 days in Europe must be accounted for in the itinerory
and financial 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 Travel ing Scholarship is granted the privilege of using the
credit for travel ($1050) any time within two years and four months of the
receipt of the award . The $300 credit for tuition, however, must be used within
the year following the awarded or be forfeited.
The Facu.lt~ 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.
THE LEWIS S. WARE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP. The lewis S. Ware Memoria l Scholarship, in accordance with the will of the Testator, provides a European Traveling Scholarship in amount and regulotions similar to those of Cresson
Scholarships of that year. This scholorship will be available at intervals of

of Directors through its Committee on Instruction on the advice of the Faculty
to a student of outstanding merit who is not receiving a Cresson Scholarship
that year. One Scholarship was awarded in May, 1951.

~~frs of age or younger, in good health and without knowledge of any physicondition or any other reason to prevent accepting and properly usin g

Memorial Scholarship, in accordance with the Will of Cornelia Schiedt, provides for the award of Traveling Scholorships according to the income available. The amount available for the next school year will provide for one schol-
I
arship of $1200. The award of this Scholarship will be mode to on advanced
student of outstanding merit on the recommendation of the F~culty by the Board
of Directors under regulations and programs to be authorized.
Eligibility for this competition will be based on the some requirements as set up
for first Cresson awards, and the wrillen application, covering a specific objective for carrying forward his or her training through travel, placed in the
hands of the Curator of the Schools before January I st of the year of competition. A student may compete for a Schiedt Scholarship and at the same time
for a Cresson Scholarship, but may not win both in anyone year.
