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 orga nize in Philadelphia a school for the fine arts. It was forma lly 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 Ha ll , the first exhibition of painting in Ph iladelphia. 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, seventy-one publ ic spirited
citizens, of whom forty-one 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 arrists Charles Willson Peale,
William Rush and Rembrandt Peale.

GENERAL INFORMATION
In the first-year studios, attendance records will be kept and
excessive absences will be checked. Board of Education, or outside
scholarship holders, students coordinating with the University of
Pennsylvania, and all Veterans ore required to have their work
graded at the end of each term.
The grade range is from 95 plus down to 70 based on the qual ity
of work and progress shown. Any grade below 70 places the
student on probation far the ensuing term and if the work does
not improve the student is requested to leave. Students ore supposed to know how to conduct themselves upon principles of honor
without specific rules, but the Management of the school reserves
the right, at any time and without advance notice, to reject or
dismiss any student without recourse, for any reason which may
seem sufficient in the opinion of the Management, and without
assigning any reason.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION. Mr. Edward Shenton will conduct a
special series of weekly lectures dealing wi:rh authors and books,
past and present, their philosophies and Ide~s ~s an extende~
horizon of the painter and sculptor. !he tOpiCS. 1~c1ude Ca~u
and the Existentialists, the poetry of ~llot as ~hrtstla~ re~elatlon ,
and Hemingway and Death as man s creative motlvatton.
Mr. Allen Harris will have periodic meetings on casting in bronze.
At the present time he operates the only bronze foundry .for sculpture In the city. It is to our great advantage to have this ancient
medium so close at hand for our students under the capable gUidance of Mr. Harris.
coordinated programs
COORDINATED PROGRAMS. The University of Pennsylvania offers
its degrees of Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts and
the degree of Bachelor of Science In Education to students of
Painting, Sculpture, and Mural Decoration who have com~leted
the prescribed co urse of academic study at the University of

THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRA VEl/NG SCHOLARSHIPS
By the liberal provisian af the wills af Emlen Cresson and Priscilla
P., his wife, a Fund has been created as a ~~marial t? their
deceased son, William Emlen Cresson, AcademiCian, the Income
from which is to be applied by The Pen nsylvania Academy af
the Fine Arts in sending 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 an hundreds of recipients
over many years and has been a great boon ta th is Academy.
To emphasize the importance of these awards and to broaden the
advantages to our students and because the Fund rea lizes 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 Tra vel 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 traveling expenses in Europe and the
remaining $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, th at 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 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.
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 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 Fac ulty by the Boa rd of Directors to students of outstanding merit.
