THE
FINE
ARTS
history
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the oldest art institution
in the United States, dates its existence from 1791, when Charles
Willson 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 ColumbiarJum 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
petition 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.

Collection of Contemporary Art.

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 Ame rica. The
exhibition of work of students submitted in competition fo r Cresson
European Traveling Scholarships and other prizes is held at the
end of May. Other special exhibitions are held in the Galleries
throughout the Winter season.

dismiss any student without recourse, far any reason which may
seem sufficient in the opinion of the Management, and without

THE WIlliAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
By the liberal provision of the wil ls of Em len Cresson ~nd Priscill~
P., his wife, 0 Fund has been creoted os a ~emorlal t~ their
deceased son, William Emlen Cresson , Academ lcl.an, the Income
from which is to be applied by Th e Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts in sendin g pup ils 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 th ese awards and to broaden the
advantages to our students and because the Fund realizes very
generous income in each yea r th e Ma nagement has established
the practice of approving the recommendation of the Faculty for
either first or second awar ds.
The award of a Cresson Travel ing Scholarsh ip the first time credits
each student with $1,500.00 of which $1,150.00 is to be used for
a summer of travel and travel ing expenses in Europe and the
remaining $350.00 is to be used for tuition for the ensuing two
terms immed iately 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 inspirationol and broadening inc ident. Each recip ient is
required to return to the Aca demy for the continuance of regular
studio work and the registrati on requirements for those enjoying
study under Cresson Scholarships will be the same as for all other
students.
In the case of exceptional merit and wh en a ve ry decided improvement is evident a stu dent may, th rough 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 Comn:ittee on Instruction. 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 fou r months after the receipt of the
award. These sch olarships will be awarded on the recommendation of the Faculty by the Board of Directors to students of outstanding merit.
~Ieven students were awarded Cresson Traveling Scholarships
1957. Th e awards are made by the Board of Directors through
Its Comm ittee on Instructio n, upon the recommendation of the Faculty. In the ca se of excepti onal merit and when a very decided
Improvement is evident a student may, th rough the same authority,

receive the a war d a se cond time. Competition for a second scholarship may be entered only during the year succeeding the first
award, unless oth erwise ruled or a sa tisfactory excuse be accepted
by the Comm ittee on Instructio n.

immediately preceeding. Either the stamp from monthly registration
or one by special arrangement at the Curator's office must be

they submit in the competition groups, provided they do not exceed
the space allotted to them but each pa inters group must include

illustrations exhibited may be any size but must not exceed the
allotted space, and must be exhibited unframed and unglazed. If

period of at least 90 days in Europe and an itinerary ond financial
