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 formal
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."

THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
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 Art~ in sending
pupils of merit to Europe. These scholarsh1ps 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 in
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 in an additional year
as an advanced student. He is expected to help set high
professional standards among our students after his
return from Europe. 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 scholars~ip must be entered during the year succeeding the
fust award, unless otherwise ruled by the Committee on
Instruction on written 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-e1ght months after receipt of the award.
TEN CRESSON TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS WERE
AWARDED IN 1964 - Every student thirty-five years of
age or .younger at the time of competition, in good health
and w1thout knowledge of any physical condition or any
other reas?n to px:e~ent accepting and properly using such
scholarsh1ps 1S elIg1ble for competition for Cresson TravelIng Scholarships. Competitors must have an aggregate
of 96 Academy Winter School weeks to their credit,

JamMi Stetr.U
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. 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.
Dannu. Ma.njone
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 rnust not encroach upon the
face of the canvas.
The recipient of a first traveling scholarship rnust 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.
Stephen Hinkle
Margaret Goodal l
The reoipient of a seoond traveling scholarship is granted
the sum in its entirety for travel and travel expenses
and a general accounting rnust be rnade and filed in the
school office within three rnonths of the end of its use.
The student is not required to return for another period
of study but rnay apply for free tuition should additional
study be advisable. Use of free tuition under such circurnstances may be regulated and arranged with the Adrninistrator of the schools.
The Faculty will not recornmend awards of traveling
scholarships if, in its opinion, the work subrnitted is not
of sufficient rnerit to justify such recornmendation. A
student rnay not be awarded more than one traveling
Sch?l.arship in any given year and is ineligible for cornpetItIon after having received two such awards.

prizes to any work which, in the opinion of the
judges, is not of sufficient merit."

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 im~ortant museum,
gallery, lib!"ar~, church, .theater, muslC 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.
JarnBB Ga.daon
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.
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 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.
Until 1963 the Academy did not take any responsibility
for student's board or lodging. The University of Pennsylvania will assist degree candidates in the coordinated
programs in obtaining dormitory and approved offcampus housing, while the Academy management will
gladly serve in an advisory capacity to all of its students
requesting assistance.
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, now
known as Peale House. Certain class activities are now
h?used in these new quarters. For the first time in its
hlstory, also the school is in a position to offer housing
29
accommodations for its women students. This program will be developed even more broa~ily as the need
develops. New applicants for ~ntrance Into the school
should indicate in their earlIest correspondence .any
interest in such housing. Types of accommodatIons
will be explained by the Administrator's office. Rates
range from $736 to $800 per year (32 weeks) for room
and board.
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.
This Academy, throughout its long history, has realized that maximum freedom is an asset in the fostering
of creative talent. The limited regulations outlined in
this catalogue and as posted in the school are necessary
to secure order and maintain pertinent records and
information.
Distinguished artists of national and international
repute are frequently invited to criticize and lecture.
During the 1964-65 school year, we welcomed these
specialists: Oscar Capristo (Argentina), Pietro Carolfi,
Leon Daen (Australia), Larry Day, Dorothy Grafly,
Ibram Lassau, Oliver Nuse, Henry Pitz, Theodor
Roszak, Concetta Scaravaglione, Ben Wolf.
FREE TUITION-Each year students graduating frOlTI
Philadelphia public and parochial high schools and
vocational-technical schools may compete for full
tuition scholarships made available by the Academy
through an agreement with the Philadelphia City
Council. Applicants will submit six examples of work
at the Academy the second week of April for consideration for the following terms.
A number of scholarships are available annually to
graduates of the city high schools and vocational-technical schools through the Board of Public Education of
the City of Philadelphia. A number of free tuition
schol~rships are available annually to foreign students
applyIng from abroad. (See Ford Foundation Grant
page 31) .
Students a~ready enrolled at the Academy for two
terms, and In good standing and enrolled at the time
of. a.pplication, ~ay apply to the Academy for free
tu~tlOn schol~rshlps. Approximately 25 tuition scholarS~lPS are avaIlable and will be awarded by the Board of
DIrectors on the recommendation of the Committee
?n ~nstruction and the Academy Faculty. Preference
IS gIven to students of merit who otherwise would be
unable to pursue their study in art. The major number
of. these :,,-re made available each year by George D.
WIdener In memory of his father and mother, George
30
D. Widener and Mrs. Alexander Hamilton Rice, and
through John Lambert and Lewis S. Ware Memorial
Funds. Others are made available through bequests of
various friends of the Academy to be used for scholars~ip aid; The Louise Harx:ison .Memorial Scholarships
gIven by Thomas S. Harnson In memory of his wife·
the Mary R. B~rton Schola.rships; the Sarah Kaigh~
Cooper Memonal ScholarshIps through the generosity
of Mrs. George K. Johnson; the Elizabeth H. Thomas
Memorial Scholarships; and the George M. Wiltbank
Scholarships through the bequest of Annie C. Wiltbank.
In an effort to spread the free tuition scholarships to
cover the maximum of needs, it is within the province
of the faculty to recommend a number of half scholarships. Full free tuition scholarship recipients are required to pose in the portrait studios for an assigned
30 hour period, during the holding of that year's
scholarships, and half scholarship students a 15 hour
period. NOTE: If a 15 hour period does not constitute
a full posing period, the student will be paid for the
additional posing time.
Applicants for the Academy scholarships must complete the official forms and submit them with four
works to the faculty at the March meeting.
A student must maintain an average of B- or better
in order to hold a scholarship.
