history
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the oldest art institution
in the United States, dates its existence from 1791, when Charles
W illson Peale commenced efforts to organize in Philadelphia a
school for the fine arts. It was formally 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 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 Columbiar;vm was ultimately succeeded by the
present Academy. In 1805, in Independence Hall, where twentynine years earlier the forefathers had signed the Declaration of
Independence, seventy-one public spirited citizens, of whom fortyone were lawyers, met for formal organization. They prepared a
P~titi on for the incorporation of the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts. The gathering was a distinguished one and included the
artists Charles Willson Peale, William Rush and' Rembrandt Peale.

general and specific advantages
The Faculty presents the greatest single asset of the Academy's
Schools. Other factors, however, contribute to the strength of the
present institution. Its 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 later.
LOCATION. The Academy 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 to augment his or her school work in
every possible field of inspiration for ort and living.
The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy bring together the
best examples of current American painting and sculpture, and
enable students to follow intell igently 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 America . The
Water Color and Print Exhibition is held in the Fall of each year.
The exhibition of work of students submitted in competition for
Cresson European Traveling Scholarships and otbier prizes is held
at the end of May. Other special exhibitions are held in the Galleries throughout the Winter season.
LIBRARY. An excellent reference library is available to all registered students in the day school. Books are easily accessible to
students for individual research and for limited withdrawals.
SCHOOL'S FACILITIES. 34,975 sqvare feet of floor space - 20-
ACADEMY GALLERIES. The Academy's Permanent Collection of
Paintings and Sculpture affords an opportunity for the study of
examples of famous masters, and includes the Temple Collection
of Modern American Pa intings; The Gibson Collection, largely
composed of works of the Continental schools· and the Lambert
Collection of Contemporary Art.

rendered each term, and in the aca emlc courses san mg 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 made as early as possible. Candid?tes 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. Note:
Tuition at Academy does not include fees for courses taken at
University.
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.
COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM. It is the aim of the Academy's
Schools to approach the fine arts in the broadest sense. Toward
that end and ?ecause of ~he 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 deparments, 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.
Two terms of free tuition in the Winter School are, therefore, to
be awarded 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 or Sculpture), and shall use th is tuition credit in the school year directly
following that of the award.

THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
By the liberal provision of the wills of Emlen Cresson and Priscilla
P., his wife, a Fund has been created as a memorial to their
deceased son, William Emlen Cresson, Academician, the income
from whi ch is to be applied by The Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts in sending pupils of merit to Europe. These scholarships shall be awarded under such rules and regulations as shall
be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors of The
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The award of Cresson
Scholarships has had significant influence on hundreds of recipients
over many years and has been a great boon to this Academy.
To emphasize the importance of these awards and to broaden the
advantages to our students and because the Fund realizes very
generous income in each year the Management has established
the practice of approving the recommendation of the Faculty for
either first or second awards.
The award of a Cresson Travel ing Scholarsh ip the first time credits
each student with $1,500.00 of wh ich $1,150.00 is to be used for
a summer of travel and traveling expenses in Europe and the
remainin g $350.00 is to be used for tuition for the ensuing 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 their industry and promise have won for
th~m .the. opportunity to introduce into their period of schooling
this inspirational and broadening incident. Each recipient is
req~ired to return to the Academy for the continuance of regular
studiO work and the registration requirements for those enjoying
study under Cresson Scholarships will be the same as for all other
students.
Francis Acquoye
Stel¥ordson J956
In the case of exceptional merit and when a very decide.d impro~e
ment is evident a student may, through the same authority, recel~e
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 Instruct ion . The award of a Cresson Traveling
Scholarship the second time credits each student with $1,200.00
to be used for travel and traveling expenses and may be used
any time within two years and four months after the receipt of the
award. These scholarships will be awarded on the recommendation of the Faculty by the Board of Directors to students of outstanding merit.
RULES ~OVERNING THE CRESSON COMPETITIONS. 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 his accepting and properly using such scholarship is
eligible for competition for a Cresson 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.
Eleven students were awarded Cresson Traveling Scholarships
in 1956. The awards are made by the Board of Directors through
its Committee on Instruction, upon the recommendation of the Faculty. 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.

awarded Cresson Traveling Scholarships in 1956 representing
$1400.00 each.
In
All students entering the competition are required to procure an

NOTE: The Faculty is not obliged to recommend awards of traveling scholarships if, in its opinion, the work submitted is not of
sufficient merit to justify such recommendation. A student may be
awarded but one traveling scholarship in any given year and is
ineligible for competition after having received two such awards.
Awards are made primarily on quality of work submitted. The
Faculty endeavors to apportion the awards so that all departments
are recognized .
THE LEWIS S. WARE MEMORIAL TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS.
The lewis S. Ware Memorial Traveling Scholarships in accordance
with the will of the testator, provide European Traveling Scholarships in amount and regulations similar to those of Cresson Scholarships of that year. These scholarships will be awarded according
to the income available on the recommendation of the Faculty by
the Board of Directors to students of outstanding merit. These

Scholarship was awarded in 1956 representing an amount of
$1400.00.
THE J. HENRY SCHIEDT MEMORIAL TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS.
The J. Henry Schiedt Memorial Traveling Scholarships in accordance with the will of Cornelia Schiedt, provides for the award of

of the Faculty by the Board of Directors to students of outstanding
merit. Eligibility for his compeition will be based on the same
requirements as set up for Cresson Awards of that year. These
scholarships are not specifically designated for European Travel.
It is therefore possible, under certain circumstances, for a competing student to make application fo the Curator of the Schools
