HISTORY
The Pennsylvania AcadeInY of the Fine Arts is the
oldest art institution in the United States. Its
origin dates froIn 1791, when Charles Willson
Peale initiated efforts to organize a school for the
fine arts in Philadelphia. This resulted in the
forInation of the ColuInbianuIn 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 ColuInbianuIn
was ultiInately succeeded by the present AcadeIny.
In 1805, in Independence Hall, seventy-one public
spirited citizens Inet for forInal organization. The
gathering was a distinguished one and included
the artists Charles Willson Peale, WilliaIn Rush,
and ReInbrandt Peale. At that Ineeting the petition for the incorporation of The Pennsylvania
AcadeInY of the Fine Arts was prepared. The
charter was obtained in March of 1806, creating
the new organization "To proInote the cultivation
of the Fine Arts, in the United States of AInerica
(and to) enlighten and invigorate the talents of
our countrYInen."

COURSES
PAINTING -
12
SCULPTURE -
GRAPHICS
The norxnal progression of study is in three general
divisions: Prelixninary, Interxnediate and Advanced.
PRELIMINARY COURSE-All students with lixnited experience enter the Prelixninary studios. Drawing is eInphasized as well as the fundaxnentals of painting, sculpture and graphics. Still Life, Cast Drawing, Clay Modeling,
Graphics, Figure Construction, Experixnental Drawing
and Life Painting are subjects of instruction. In addition
to these studio courses, two lecture courses are also required. If the Prelixninary student anticipates carrying on
his study for coxnpetitions for prizes, scholarships, etc., he
xnust, in his Prelixninary period, attend with regularity
and achieve passing grades in the one hour per week
courses in Painting Materials and Techniques and in
Lettering and Perspective. Lecture courses in Art History,
Anatoxny and the discussion of Literature in Relation to
Art are optional. The norxnal duration of the Prelixninary
course is one year. Faculty action will deterxnine advancexnent to the Interxnediate Course.
INTERMEDIATE COURSE-Either by proxnotion froxn
the Prelixninary prograxn or by initial placexnent on the
basis of evident prior experience and perforxnance, the
student enters the xnajor studio of his choice: Painting,
Sculpture or Graphics. The Interxnediate student has the
opportunity through concentrated effort and faculty help,
to develop technical skills with an individual approach. It
should be noted, however, that in order to xnaintain a
record in good standing, the student xnust xneet regular
xnonthly registrations of work as prescribed by the
adxninistra tion.
PAINTING.-The eInphasis in the painting studio is on
the study of the hUInan figure. There are two - and threeweek Life and Portrait poses in both Inorning and afternoon sessions throughout the school year. In addition,
the student Inay obtain instruction and criticisIn in Still
Life, Landscape, Croquis, and COInposition . Each student registers one portrait and one life painting each
xnonth with his instructor or in the school office.
SCULPTURE-Sculpture students also concentrate on
the study froIn life of the head and figure and on the
classic Inedia of the sculptor. Instruction includes Casting in Plaster, Techniques in CeraInic Sculpture, Stone
Cutting and Wood Carving. General criticisms WIth
regard to COInposition and Construction are also avaIlable.
13
There is no division in the Sculpture Department between
those recorded as InterInediate or Advanced.
GRAPHICS-Graphics studios are available for InterInediate students wishing to continue in this field.
Note: There is no pre-deterInined duration for the InterInediate Course.
ADVANCED COURSE Students in good standing Inay be
proInoted by the faculty to Advanced standing when they
shall have deInonstrated a high degree of proficiency in
the prescribed categories of study under the heading of
PreliIninary and InterInediate. Winners of Cresson, Ware
or Schiedt Traveling Scholarships will achieve Advanced
standing on receipt of such awards, should they not
already have been so prolTIoted.
Advanced students lTIay work in the Advanced studios
and in any of the other studios in the School not set
aside for other departlTIents. Advanced students are
freed frolTI regular registration of work in set categories in
order to pursue special projects or elTIphasize individual
inclinations in style, lTIediulTI, forlTI or content, but will
be expected to continue to do their lTIajor work on the
AcadelTIY prelTIises. Their work, however, intended for use
in all cOlTIpetitions lTIust be approved and recorded by at
least two lTIelTIbers of the faculty.
Flagrant abuses of the privileges granted to Advanced
students will result in the forfeit of these privileges.
REGULATIONS-This AcadelTIY, through its long history
has realized that lTIaxilTIulTI freedolTI is an asset in the
fostering of creative effort. The lilTIited regulations outlined in this catalog and as posted in the School are
lTIeasures to achieve order and lTIaintain pertinent inforlTIation for record.
Students lTIay advise the School office that they wish no
detailed records kept. To be eligible, however, for the
lTIany School tuition scholarships and prizes, for credits
if degrees are involved and, particularly, for cOlTIpetition
for European Traveling Scholarships, certain rules and
regulations are fixed.
REGISTRATION OF WORK-During the norlTIal course
of instruction lTIelTIbers of the faculty will criticise stu dent work. Each lTIonth every student should sublTIit at
least one piece of finished work to each of his instructors
for registration. The instructor will initial these finished
14
pieces for registration in the School office or keep his own
record book for such work. All registrations become a
part of the student's permanent file.
GRADING-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. Students may be graded by the faculty on the
basis of work submitted at stated times, due notice being
given by the School office.
Note: Advanced students are freed from regular registration or work in set categories in order to pursue special
projects or emphasize individual inclinations in style,
medium, form or content but will be expected to continue
to do their major work on the Academy premises.
PROMOTIONS-All preliminary students in good standing will be promoted automatically to their major departments after one year, unless expressly detained on the
recommendation of the faculty. Promotion to this Intermediate Course is in good measure based on potential.
Intermediate students will be promoted by the faculty
to the Advanced 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 intention to apply. One painting
and one sketch for each of the categories of Life and
Portrait must be submitted.
Any student winning an Academy traveling scholarship
will simultaneously achieve Advanced Standing subject
to fulfillment of the conditions of the scholarship.
COURSE CREDITS-The University of Pennsylvania
recognizes a full term of work satisfactorily completed
at the Academy as bearing a credit rating of 12 undergraduate semester credits. All students enrolled in the
day school are enrolled as full time students. Day students may attend the evening classes at no extra cost
but receive no additional credit.
(By special arrangement certain evening and summer
school courses may be accredited.)

THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
Peter D . Sohnore
Bruno Melone
By the liberal provisions of the Wills of EInlen Cresson
and Priscilla P., his wife, a Fund has been created as a
IneInorial to their deceased son, WilliaIn EInlen Cresson
AcadeInician, th.e incoIne froIn which is to be applied b;
The. PennsylvB:nla AcadeIny of the Fine Arts in sending
pupIls of Inent to Europe. These scholarships shall be
awarded under such rules and regulations as shall be
adopted froIn tiIne to tiIne by the Board of Directors of
The Pennsylvania AcadeInY of the Fine Arts. The award
of Cresson Scholarships has had significant influence on
hundreds of recipients over Inany years and has been a
great boon to this AcadeInY. To eInphasize the iInportance
of these awards and to broaden the advantages to our
students, and because the Fund realizes very generous
incoIne in each year, the ManageInent, through its
COInInittee on Instruction, has established the practice
of approving the recoInInendation 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
tiIne credits each student with $1,800.00, of which $1,300 .00
is used for a SUInIner of travel and traveling expenses in
Europe and the reInaining $500.00 is used for AcadeInY
tuition for the two terInS iInInediately following. Each
recipient is required to return to the AcadeIny for the
continuance of regular studio work in an additional year
as an advanced student. He is expected to help set high
professional standards aInong our students after his
return froIn Europe. In the case of exceptional Inerit,
and when a very decided iInproveInent is evident, a student Inay, through the saIne authority, receive the
award a second tiIne. COInpetition for a second scholar ship Inust be entered during the year succeeding the
first award, unless otherwise ruled by the COInInittee on
Instruction on written application. The award of a
Cresson Traveling Scholarship the second tiIne credits
each student with $1,300.00 to be used for travel and
traveling expenses, and Inay be used any tiIne within
twenty-eight Inonths after receipt of the award.
TEN CRESSON TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS WERE
AWARDED IN 1963-Every student thirty-five years of
age or younger at the tiIne of cOInpetition, 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 COInpetition for Cresson Traveling Scholarships. COInpetitors Inust have an aggregate
of 96 AcadeInY Winter School weeks to their credit,
20
Arthur w. Jane.
which 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.
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 Lettering and Perspective. Dalinq uencies 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.
John Formicola
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 19.
Thomas N . Toner
The recipient of a second traveling scholarship is granted
the sum in its entirety for travel and travel 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.

but adhering to the positively expressed terms of
the original gift that "The drawing of the work
submitted will receive first attention of the
examiners." First awarded in 1882.
"Up to five prizes will be available each year at
the discretion of the Committee on Instruction, depending on the amount of income
available, for the best five portfolios or otherwise protected sets of drawings, Illatted or

should the investment make that possible, but
no award shall be given in any year when a lesser
amount than $100.00 is available. This prize was

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, 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 main building, 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 collection of American paintings,
sculpture and prints 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 student 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 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 submitted
by students in competition for the many traveling scholarships and prizes are on public exhibition.
Alan F Berger
FACILITIES OF THE SCHOOL-The main building was
designed to Inake the best use of natural lighting. The
major studios are aInple with high ceilings and north
light. These are augInented by sInaller studios and areas
designated for general criticisIn or equipped for special
technical instruction. An art library is at the disposal of
students seeking stiInulation or inforInation. Art Inaterials are available in a well stocked store run by the
Academy on the preInises.
Until 1963 the AcadeInY did not take any responsibility
for student's board or lodging. The University of Pennsylvania will assist degree candidates in the coordinated
prograIns in obtaining dormitory and approved offcampus housing, while the Academy Inanagement will
gladly serve in an advisory capacity to all of its students
requesting assistance.
A detailed stateInent of the school's facilities, as required
by the Veterans AdIninistration in connection with
Public Law No. 550 is available on request.
In October of 1962 the AcadeIny becaIne the owner of a
large seven story building at 18th and Chestnut Streets,
previously known as the Belgravia Hotel, now known as
Peale House. Certain class activities are now housed in
these new quarters. For the first tiIne in its history, also
the school is in a position to offer housing accoInInodaDouglass Branch

tions for its wornen students. This prograrn will be
developed even rnore 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 accornrnodations will be explained by the
Adrninistrator's office. Rates range frorn $736 to $800
per year (32 weeks) for roorn and board.
This Acaderny, throughout its long history, has realized
that rnaxirnurn freedorn is an asset in the fostering of
creative talent. The lirnited regulations outlined in this
catalogue and as posted in the school are necessary to
secure order and rnaintain pertinent records and inforrna tion.
Betty Jane Lee
FREE TUITION-Each year students graduating frorn
Philadelphia public and parochial high schools and vocational-technical schools rnay cornpete for full tuition

and will be awarded by the Board of Directors on the
recornrnendation of the Cornrnittee on Instruction and
the Acaderny Faculty. Preference is given to students of
rnerit who otherwise would be unable to pursue their
study in art. The rnajor nurnber of these are rnade available each year by George D. Widener in rnernory of his
father and rnother, George D. Widener and Mrs. Alexander
Harnilton Rice, and through John Larnbert and Lewis S.
