The Pennsylvania Acadetny of the Fine Arts 1S
the oldest art institution in the United States.
Its origin dates frotn 1791, when Charles Willson
Peale initiated efforts to organize a school for the
fine arts in Philadelphia. This resulted in the
fortnation of the Colutnbianutn in 1794. In 1795,
under the auspices of that association, the first
exhibition of painting in Philadelphia was held in
Pennsylvania's old State House, better known
today as Independence Hall. The Colutnbianum
was ultitnately succeeded by the present Academy .
In 1805, in Independence Hall, seventy - one public
spirited citizens tnet for fortnal organization. The
gathering was a distinguished one and included
the artists Charles Willson Peale, William Rush,
and
Retnbrandt
petition
for
the
Peale.
At
that
incorporation
meeting
of The
the
Penn -
sylvania Acadetny of the Fine Arts was prepared .
The charter was obtained in March
of 1806,
creating the new organ1zation "To protnote the
cultivation of the Fine Arts, in the United States
of Atnerica (and to) enlighten and invigorate the
talents of our countrytnen."

THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
SYDNIE SHUMAN
By the liberal provisions 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 which 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, 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 i n
Europe and the remaining $500.00 is used for Academy
tuition for the two terms immediately following. 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 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 . Com petition for a second scholarship must be entered during
the year succeeding the first award, unless otherwise
ruled by the Committee on Instruction on written appli cation. 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.
TEN CRESSON TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS WERE
AWARDED IN 1962-Every student 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 Trav eling Scholarships. Competitors must have an aggregate
22
of .96 Academy Winter School weeks to their credit ,
whlCh 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 year of competition.
JOSEPH SCHE'TTONE
All students must have a complete and unbroken registration record over the time included in computing
eligibility (see "Registration of Work "). They must also
have satisfactorily completed the work in Materials and
Techniques and in Perspective. Delinquencies must be
satisfactorily explained in writing to the Administrator of
the schools for excuse by the Committee on Instruction
and all financial obligations must be fully paid.
All 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 Winter
School.
All competitors are unrestricted as to amount, size and
variety of work they submit in the competition groups,
provided they do not exceed the space allotted. Each
painter's 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.
NINA KLYMQWSKA
EDWIN SERNOFF
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 circumstances may be regulated and arranged with the Administrator of the schools.
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 with the
will of the testor, 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 scholarships were
first awarded in 1938 and one Ware Traveling
Scholarship was awarded in 1962 representing an
amount of $1,300.00.
THE J. HENRY SCHIEDT MEMORIAL TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS-The J. Henry Schiedt
Memorial Scholarships in accordance with the
will of Cornelia Schiedt, provide 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 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 competing student to make application to the Administrator of the Schools at
least three months before the date of competition
for a particular program. These scholarships were
first awarded in 1949 and four Schiedt Traveling
Scholarships of $1,300.00 each were awarded in
1962.

GENERAL INFORMATION
LOCATION-The school is located in the very heart of
Philadelphia and has ready access to all public trans portation serving the city. Every important Museum,
Gallery, Library, Church, 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 land mark.
THE ACADEMY GALLERIES-The Academy has a
unique permanent collection of American paintings,
prints and sculpture that affords the student an oppor tunity 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 a r t
and enable him to be in constant touch with the newest
ideas and techniques. These exhibitions, held almost
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 sub mitted by students in competition for the many traveling
scholarships and prizes are on public exhibition.
FACILITIES OF THE SCHOOL-The main 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

THE EVENING SCHOOL
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 Acad(:my on the premises.
The Academy has not taken any responsibility in
the past for 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 the Veterans Administration in connection with Public Law No. 550, is available
on request.
In October of 1962 the Academy became the owner
of a large seven-story building at 18th and Chestnut Streets, previously known as the Belgravia
Hotel. As this catalogue goes to press, alterations
have been started so that certain class activities
can be housed in these new quarters. For the
first time in its history, also, the school may be in
a position to offer dormitory accommodations for
its girl students. This program will be developed
even more broadly as the need develops. New
applicants for entrance into the school should
indicate in their earliest correspondence any
interest in such housing. Types of accommodations and rates will be supplied by the Administrator's office.
The Evening School is an extension of the regular
program of the Academy school. Courses in draw ing, painting and sculpture are conducted on a
professional level, but no prior experience is r equired of students wishing to enroll for one or
more nights a week.
The evening classes are conducted five nights of
the week between 7 and 10 o'clock.
