The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is the oldest art insti·
tution in the United States. Its origin dates from 1791, when
Charles Willson Peale initiated efforts to organize a school for the
fine arts in Philadelphia, which resulted in the formation of the
Columbianum in 1794. In 1795, under the auspices of that
association, the first exhibition of painting in Ph iladelphia was
held in Pennsylvania's old State House, better known today as
Independence Hall. The Columbianum was ultimately succeeded
by the present Academy. In 1805, in Independence Hall, seventy·
one public spirited citizens met for formal organization. The
gathering was a distinguished one, and included the artists
Charles Willson Peale, William Rush, and Rembrandt Peale. At that
meeting the petition for the incorporation of The Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts was prepared. The charter was obtained
in March of 1806, creating the new organization "To promote the
cultivation of the Fine Arts, in the United States of America
[and to] enlighten and invigorate the talents of our countrymen."

General Information
Location. The school is located in the very heart of Philadelphia
and has ready access to all public transportation serving the city.
Every important Museum, Gallery, Library, Theater, Music Hall and
College or University is convenient to the Academy, and the
Academy studios are easily reached by the student who might live
at some distance. The building, itself, first occupied in 1876, was
designed for the Academy by Frank Furness and is a nationally
known architectural landmark.
The Academy Galleries. The Academy has a unique permanent col·
lection of American Paintings, Prints and Sculpture that affords the
student an opportunity for direct study of important works of art of
the past and present.
The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy are of national scope.
They bring to the students the various movements and currents of
contemporary American art, and enable him to be in constant touch
with the newest ideas and techniques. These exhibitions, held al·
most continuously since 1811, are among the foremost in the
country.
Special exhibitions are held in the Galleries throughout the Winter
Season, and in the Spring the works submitted by students in com·
petition for the many Traveling Scholarships and prizes are on public
exhibition.
Facilities of the School. The building was designed to make the
best use of natural lighting. The major studios are ample with high
ceilings and north light. These are augmented by smaller studios
and areas designated for general criticism, or equipped for special
technical instruction. An art library is at the disposal of students
seeking stimulation or information. Art materials are available in a
well stocked store run by the Academy on the premises.
The Academy does not take any responsibility for the students'
board or lodging. The University of Pennsylvania will assist degree
candidates In the coordinated programs in obtaining dormitory and
approved off:campus housing, while the Academy management will
gladly serve In an advisory capacity to all of its students requesting
assistance.
A detailed statement of the school's facilities, as required by th~
Veterans Administration In connection with Public Law # 550 is
available on request.

Instruction
Faculty
The Faculty is composed of professional artists, distinguished in
their fields of activity. The general method of instruction is by indio
vidual criticism of studio work. The purpose is to develop the innate
ability of the student and to give him the technical skill to use it.
The Faculty is augmented by assistants skilled in technical special·
ties, and by instructors and lecturers outstanding in fields allied to
the arts.
Visiting Artists and Lecturers
Visiting artists and lecturers add to the scope of the regular pro·
gram. During the academic year, 1961-62, the students met and
engaged in discussions with Leonard Baskin, Marcel Duchamp,
Lloyd Goodrich, Mauricio Lasansky, Jacques Lipchitz, Richard
Stankiewicz, Adja Yunkers, and other artists.
Lectures in certain aspects of art and art history were presented
by Dr. William Homer, Dr. Stella Kramrisch, Dr. John McCoubry,
David Crownover, Samuel Edgerton, Henri Dorra, Eric Sellin and
others.
11
Courses
The normal progression of study is in three general divisions: Preliminary, Intermediate and Advanced. AU students must, in their
first year, take and pass the following required courses: Perspective,
Painting Materials and Techniques. (Exemption by examination.)
Preliminary
All students with limited experience will enter the Preliminary
Course. The emphasis is on drawing, media and materials, and
includes: Life Drawing, Cast Drawing, Experimental Drawing, Figure Construction, Painting Design, Still Life, Graphics and Clay
Modeling. In addition to the studio courses the Preliminary student is required to successfully complete the courses in Painting
Materials and Techniques and in Perspective. Anatomy and History of Art are optional. The normal duration is one year, but the
student with poor work habits may be held for a longer period.
Advanced
Students in good standing may be promoted by the faculty to ad vanced standing when they shall have demonstrated a high degree
of proficiency in the prescri bed categories of study. Wi n ners of
Cresson, Ware or Schiedt traveling scholarships will receive advanced standing on receipt of the award, should they not already
have achieved it.
Advanced students may work in the Advanced Studio, and in any of
the other studios in the school not set aside for other departments.
NOTE: Advanced students may be freed from regular registration of
work in set categories in order to pursue special projects or emphasize individual inclinations in style, medium, form or content. Permission must be obtained from the faculty by applying in writing
before stated facu Ity meeti ngs.
Advanced students who have been granted special registration
privileges, will be expected to continue to work on the Academy
premises.
Flagrant abuse of the privileges granted to Advanced students will
result in the forfeit of these privileges.
Intermediate
Either by promotion from the Preliminary program, or by initial
placement on the basis of evident prior experience and performance, the student enters the major studio of his choice; Painting or
Sculpture.
Students will concentrate on perfecting their skills, and will be encouraged to develop their work along self·determined lines. It should
be noted, however, that in order to maintain a record in good standing the student must meet regular monthly registration of work,
as prescribed by the administration.
Painting. The emphasis in the painting studios is on the study
of the human figure. There are two and three week Life and
Portrait poses in both morning and afternoon sessions throughout
the year. In addition there is instruction in Still Life, Landscape,
Croquis, Water Color Techniques, Composition, and intensive general criticism.
Sculpture. The emphasis in the sculpture studio is on the study
from life of the head and figure, and on the classic media of the
s~ulptor. Instruction includes Casting in Plaster and Bronze, Techniques in Ceramic Sculpture, Stone Cutting and Wood Carving;
general criticism with regard to Construction and CompoSition.
There is no pre-determined duration for the Intermediate Course.

nated by his placement. A record will be kept by the Indivi ua
instructors of work reviewed and approved. That record will be
registered in the school office.
Copies of the registration requirements are available in the school
Coordinated Degree Programs
The University of Pennsylvania offers the degrees of Bachelor of
Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts to students who have completed
the prescribed professional study at the Academy and the pre.
scribed academic courses at the University.
office.
Grading
Students will be graded by the faculty on the basis of wor~ sub·
mitted at stated times. Grading is required for students In the
Coordinated Degree programs, all holders of scholarships and
those receiving veterans' assistance. For all others grading is
optional.
Promotions
All preliminary students in good standing will be promoted auto·
matically to their major departments after one year, unless .ex,
pressly detained on the recommendation of the faculty. Promot~on
to this Intermediate Course is in good measure based on potential.
Intermediate students will be promoted by the faculty to the Ad·
vanced Studio in recognition of their achievement, proficiency and
maturity of purpose as demonstrated in the major studios.
Promotion to Advanced Standing is on the basis of work done in the
studios and submitted to the faculty at stated faculty meetings.
A week prior to the meeting, the applicant must declare his inten ·
tion to apply. One painting and one sketch for each of the cate·
gories of Life and Portrait must be submitted. Promotion in each
of the categories may be attempted separately, but until advance·
ment has been gained in both the applicant will not be considered
an Advanced student.
Any student winning an Academy traveling scholarship will simul·
taneously achieve Advanced Standing subject to fulfillment of the
conditions of the scholarship.
Course Credits
The privileges and facilities of both Institutions are available to
students enrolled in the coordinated B.F.A. and M.F.A. programs,
who shall also be subject to the regulations of both Institutions.
Candidates for admission to the coordinated courses must meet
the requirements of each institution, but must be accepted and ap·
proved by the Academy before they will be admitted to the Uni·
versity. Please note that the School of Fine Arts of the University
of Pennsylvania also offers its own B.F.A., which is distinct from the
one granted in coordination with the Academy.
B.F.A.
The coordinated program leading to the degree of B.F.A. is nor·
mally five years. To qualify for the degree a student must have
completed in good standing four years (96 s.c.) of professional

THE WILLIAM EM LEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
By the liberal provisions of the WiIJs 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
which is to be applied by The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts in sending pupils of merit to Europe. These scholarships shaIJ
be awarded under such rules and regulations as shaIJ 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, through its Committee on Instruction,
has established the practice of approving the recommendation of
the Faculty 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 $1,800.00, of which $1,300.00 is used for a
summer of travel and traveling expenses in Europe and the remaining $500.00 is used for Academy tuition for the two terms immediately folJowing. 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 aIJ advanced 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
must be entered during the year succeeding the first award unless
oth~rwise ruled by the Committee on Instruction on writte'n application . 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 twenty-eight
months after receipt of the award .

AIJ . students entering the competition are required to complete the
official application. All work submitted in competition must be that
which has been done in the Academy classes or for Academy registration. It must be work completed within the last 32 weeks of the
Winte r School, and the stamp from monthly registration must be
upon each work exhibited.
AIJ competitors are unrestricted as to amount, size and variety of
work they submit in the competition groups, provided they do not
exceed the space aIJotted. Each painters group must include one
landscape, one portrait and one life painting, and each sculptor's
group must include a composition. Work must be exhibited unframed and unglazed . If tape or stripping is used to trim unsightly
edges of canvas, it may be used to give order rather than enhance
and must not encroach upon the face of the canvas.
The recipient of a first traveling scholarship must account for a
period of at least 90 days in Europe and an itinerary and financial
report is required for filing in the school office before October 15.
Nine Cresson Traveling Scholarships were awarded in 1961.
The recipient of a second traveling scholarship is granted the sum
in its entirety for travel and traveling expenses and a general accounting must be made and filed in the school office within three
months of the end of its use. The student is not required to return
for another period of study but may apply for free tuition should
additional study be advisable. Use of free tuition under such circum stances may be regulated and arranged with the Admin istrator of
the schools.
Every stu~ent thirty-five years of age or younger at the time of competition, In good health and without knowledge of any physical
condition or any other reason to prevent accepting and properly
uSing such scholarships is eligible for competition for Cresson
Traveling Scholarships when they each have an aggregate of 96
The Faculty will not recommend awards of traveling scholarships if,
in its opinion, the work submitted is not of sufficient merit to justify
such recommendation . A student may not be awarded more than
one traveling scholarship in any given year and is ineligible for
competition after having received two such awards.

THE LEWIS S. WARE MEMORIAL TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
The Lewis S. Ware Memorial Traveling Scholarships in accordance
wit h the will of the testator. provide European Traveling Scholar·
ships 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 scholarships were first awarded in 1938 and one
Ware Traveling Scholarship was awarded in 1961 representing
an amount of $1,300.00.
THE J. HENRY SCHIEDT MEMORIAL TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
Th e J. Henry Schiedt Memorial Traveling Scholarships in accord·
an ce 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 outstand·
ing merit. Eligibility for this 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 com·
peting student to make application to the Administrator of the
Sc hools at least three months before the date of competition for
a pa rti cular program. These scholarships were first awarded in
1949 and three Schiedt Traveling Scholarships of $1,300.00 each
were awarded in 1961.
