general
and
specific advantages
The Faculty composed of professional artists who hove been
selected for' outstand;ng achievements as · well as for their teaching
ability, is 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, and the
many scholorship advantages described in this catalogue.

t f
Philadelphia within one block of City Hall and within two :ra;hr:e
blocks of the central 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 has immeasurable opportunities
to augment hiS, or her: school work in every possible field of
inspiration for art and liVing. No living accommodations are provided by the Academy.
ACADEMY GALLERIES . The Academy's Perma nent Collection of
pain tings and sculpture affords an oppartunity 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.
The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy bring together the
best examples of current Ame rican paintings, sculpture, prints and
drawings; 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
America. The exhibition of work of students submiHed in competition for Cresson, Wore and Schiedt European Traveling Scholarships, and other prizes, is h~ld in May. Many 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.

et erans are
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 quality of
work and progress shown. Any grade below 70 places the stud t
on probation for the ensuing term, and if the work does not ~~_
prove the student is requested to leave.
Students are supposed to know how to conduct themse lves upon
prinC iples of honor without specific rules, but the management of
the School reserves the right at any time, and without advance
notice, to :eject or d ismiss any student without recourse for any
reason which may seem sufficient in the opinion of the management, and without giving any reason.

the Fine Arts offers opportunities for study to veterans who satisfy
entrance requirements and who ore eligible for educational benefits under Publ ic Law #550. Th is does not apply to Evening School.

"
. No leave
will be granted, nor absence, nor studio cuts, allowed. (Work not
registered at the appointed time must be registered at least by
next registration.) Tardiness amounting to more than 1 V2 hours per
week will not be tolerated, and unexplained absenteeism in any
form will result in dismissal.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION
REGISTRATION OF WORK. Each student is required to register
one example of work, once each month, representing effort in
each of the studios to which the student has been assigned and
bearing the stamp of the instructor from each of those studios. An
unbroken record of registration is nGcessary for eligibility for all
competitions and is required of all students in the Coordinated
Courses and all Veterans. Written requests far excuse upon legitimate grounds, (illness, unavoidable absence, etc.), must be addressed to the Administrator of the Schools for approval.
Mr. Edward Shenton will conduct a special series of weekly lectures dealing with authors and books, past and present, their philosophies and ideas as an extended horizon of the painter and
sculptor. The topics include Camus and the Existentialists, the
poetry of El iot as Christian revelation, and Hemingway and Death
as man's creative motivation.
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.

THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
Cresscn Award
1959
By the liberal pravisians af the Wills af Emlen Cressan and
Priscilla P., his wife, a Fund has been created as a memarial ta
their deceased san, William Emlen Cresson, Academician, the
income from which is to be applied by The Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts in sending pupils af merit to Europe. These scholarships shall be awarded under such rules and regulations as sha ll
be adopted from time ta time by the Baard af Directors af The
Pennsylvania Academy af the Fine Arts. The award of Cressan
Scholarships has had significant influence an 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, through its Committee on Instruction, has established the practice of approving the
recommendation of the Fac ulty for either first or second awards.
These scholarships were first awarded in 1902.
The award of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship the first time credits
each student with $1 )00.00, of which $1,300.00 is to be used for
a summer of travel and traveling expenses in Europe and the
remaining $400.00 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 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 Scholarship 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
$1,300.00 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.
Nine Cresson Traveling Scholarships were awarded in 1959.
RULES GOVERNING THE CRESSON COMPETITIONS. Every student thirty-five years of age or younger, in good health and without knawledge of any physical conditian or any other reason to
prevent his ac cepting and properly using such scholarship, is eligib le for competitian 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 campetition. 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.
All students must have a complete and unbroken registration record
over the time included in computing eligibility (see "Registration of
Work"). Th ey must also have satisfactorily completed their work in
Perspective (two terms). Delinquencies due to absence for illness
or ather causes must be satisfactarily explained in writing to the
Administrato r of the Schools for excuse, and all financial obligations must be f ully pa id .
All students entering the competition are required to procure an
application for permission to compete at the C urator's office before
the 15th day of March. All work submitted in compet ition must be
that which has been done in the Academy classes or for Academy
registrotion and hos 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 ar in the Summer School immediately
preceding. Either the stamp from monthly registration or one by
special arrangement at the Curator's office must be upon each
work exhibited.
All competitors are unrestricted as to amount and variety of work
they submit in the competit ion groups, provided they do not exceed
the spoce allotted to them but each painters group must include
one landscape, one partrait and one life painting, and each sculptor's group must include a composition . Paintings, drawings and
illustrations exhibited may be any size but must not exceed the
allotted spa ce, and must be exhibited unframed and unglazed. If

give order rather than enhance and must not encroach upon the
face of the canvas.

period of at leas t 90 days in Europe and an itinerary ond financial
report is req uired for filing in the office of th e Curator before the

S. Joseph Wi nter
Edmund Stewardson Prize 1959
The recipient of a second troveling scholarsh ip is granted the sum
in its entirity for travel and traveling expenses ond a general
accounting must be made and filed in the School O ffice w ithin
th ree months of the end of its use. The student is not required to
return for onother period of study but may apply for free tu ition
should he or she and their instructors deem this additional study
advisable . Use of free tuition under such circumstances may be
regu lated and arranged with the Curator of the Schools.
NOTE: The Faculty is not obliged to recommend awards of traveling scho larships if, in its opinion, the work subm itted is not of
sufficien t 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 CHARLES TOPPAN PRIZES. The Charles Tappan Prizes for
1959 are: First Prize, $300.00; Second Prize, $200.00; and one
honorable mention of $100.00. These prizes were established in
1881 by the gift of Mrs. Charles Toppan, Miss Harriette R. Tappan,
and Mr. Robert N. Tappan. The prizes are awarded only to students who hove previously received and used a Cresson Scholarship. Competitors who fulfill all of the requirements for a Second
Cresson Traveling Scholarship will, at the same time, be considered
eligible to compete for a Toppan Prize, also those winning a Ware
or Schiedt.
Any student having received one Tappan prize is debarred from
receiving another Tappan prize of the same or lower value. The
work submitted in competition must be an original painting, in oil,
tempera or water color, the unaided work of the student without
criticism.
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. Th ese
scholarships were first awarded in 1938 and one Ware Tra ve ling
Scholarship was awarded in 1957 representing an amaunt of
$1200.00.
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 Traveling Scholarships according to the income available. The award of these scholarships will be made on the recommendation of the Faculty by the Board of Directors to students
of outstanding merit. Eligibility for his competition 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 to the Curator of
the Schools at least three months before the date of competition
for a particular program. These scholarships were first awarded in
1949 and three Schiedt Traveling Scholarships of $1,400.00 each
were awarded in 1959.
