the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS
BROAD AND CHERRY STREETS,
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19102

CONTENTS
Admission ......................... 38
The Academy has a faculty of people who love, and are
devoting their lives to the arts of painting and sculpture.
They teach because as practicing artists they are deeply
interested in their arts. This is one great tradition of the
Academy. It, together with the distinct atmosphere of a
professional school, is the reason, we believe, why almost
everyone who has been associated with the Academy is fond
of it. That is another tradition we cherish.

Since Thomas Eakins took a teaching post when our building
on Cherry Street was opened (1876), our form of instruction
has placed the responsibility upon the student himself for his
growth and his future in creative art: it is a challenge to learn
to solve problems for one's self, in one's own way, at one's
own rate of growth, aided by the advice of a practicing artist.
For the student this is the most demanding and difficult but,
as we believe the record shows, best road to excellence.

HISTORY
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is the oldest art institution 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. This
resulted in the formation of the Columbianum 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 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".

FACULTY
THE FACULTY is composed of professional artists distinguished in their fields of activity. The gene~al method of
instruction is by individual 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
specialties and by instructors and lecturers outstanding in
fields allied to the arts.

ROBERT B. HALE
Instructor in Anatomy Drawing
PRELIMINARY DIVISION-All students with limited experience enter the Preliminary studios. This Preliminary period
acquaints the student with the fundamentals of Drawing,
Painting, Sculpture, and Graphics. It affords him the opportunity to discover his individual field of interest and to develop
self-discipline through the study of Still Life, Cast Drawing, Life
Drawing, Clay Modeling, Painting and Graphics.
Still Life Painting - 6 hours per week, painting emphasizing
color, texture and design using various inanimate objects in
the composition.
Cast Drawing - 6 hours per week , emphasizes drawing from
antique casts of classical and renaissance origins.
Life Drawing - 6 hours per week, drawing from the figure.
Clay Modeling - 3 hours per week, students learn to model
in clay from life and portrait models.
Painting - 6 hours per week, painting from life and portrait
models.
Graphics - 6 hours per week, familiarization with various
printmaking techniques.
I n addition, each first year student who plans to major in Painting or Graphics is required to take the lecture courses in Lettering and Perspective, and Painting Materials and Techniques.
INTERMEDIATE DIVISION-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, Sculpture, or Graphics.
The I ntermediate student has the opportunity through concentrated effo rt and Faculty help to develop technical skills
with an individual approach.
PAINTING - With assigned Composition, Life Drawing,
Life Painting and Portrait Painting classes, the Intermediate
Painting Program places its emphasis on the study of the
human figure. Students are encouraged to attend General
Criticism sessions, and other Academy classes and to make
use of all facilities which they might find beneficial.
SCULPTURE - Sculpture students also concentrate on
study from the human figure. The major portion of class
work is devoted to clay modeling, however, instruction in
plaster, stone and wood carving is also provided. Lead
casting, kiln firing, and welding may be done under the
supervision of an instructor.
22
GRAPHICS - Students may elect Graphics as a major field
of study after promotion from Preliminary. Such students
will also be assigned to a Painting or Sculpture group in the
I ntermediate Division, and will be expected to maintain
regular monthly registrations in assigned classes. Time available after these requirements have been met may be spent in
the Graphics studios. Facilities are available for students to
work in the media of etching, lithography, woodcut engraving, and silk-screen.
'
ADVANCED DIVISION-When a student has demonstrated a
high degree of proficiency in the categories of Intermediate
study, he may be promoted by the Faculty to Advanced
Standing. Winners of Cresson, Ware, or Schiedt Traveling
Scholarships will receive Advanced Standing upon receipt of
such awards if they have not already been so promoted. These
students are 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. They
must continue to be graded according to procedures set by the
Administration, at the end of each term, and work intended for
use in all competitions must be approved and recorded by at
least two members of the Faculty.
All general studios and facilities are open to their use, and a
limited number of private studios are available to a few advanced students upon Faculty recommendation.
REGULATIONS-This Academy, through its long history , has
realized that maximum freedom is an asset in the fostering of
creative effort. The limited regulations outlined in this cata logue and as posted in the School are measures to achieve order
and maintain pertinent information for record, and compliance
will constitute Good Standing.
GOOD STANDING-In order to maintain Good Standing,
students must register work as noted with their instructors; and
must be graded at the end of each term following Grading
Procedure. All registrations and grades become part of a student's permanent file. Good Standing must be maintained in
order to be eligible for promotions, tuition scholarships, prizes,
travel awards and F our Year Certificates. These benefits, draft
deferment forms and transcripts are not available to students
not in Good Standing.
Under special conditions, certain students may request, in
writing, that no detailed records of registration or grading be
kept. Consent for such procedure can only be granted by the
Administration, in writing.
REGISTRATION OF WORK-Each month every student in the
Preliminary Division and Intermediate Painting Program must
submit one piece of work completed in class to each of his
assigned instructors for registration. Each I ntermediate Sculpture Student is required to register one figure, one head, one
sculpture done without a model and five drawings each month.
PRIVATE STUDIOS-The use of individual studios and booths
asslg~ed to. Adva~ced Students is a privilege granted by the
Ad~lnlstratlOn with advice from the Faculty, and can be
rescinded at the discretion of the Administration when it is felt
that this privilege is not being properly used.
Graphics majors are expected to maintain regular monthly registration in their I ntermediate group as well as the registration
requirements of the Graphics instructors.
WORK MATERIALS AND LOCKERS-Except for work then
being exhibited in the School Competition Exhibition all other
work, materials, equipment, and contents of locker; must be
removed from Academy premises at the end of the School year.
Non-compliance will be considered as abandonment of such
work or possessions. There are to be no exceptions to this
regulation except by specific permission of the Administration.
Nor will this permission, in the cases of students deciding not to
return, be extended beyond the first Friday of the following
Fall term. In any case whatever, the Academy accepts no
responsibility for students' work or possessions at any time.
These regulations must be met in order to be eligible for
promotion, grades, scholarships, prizes and travel awards.
G RADI NG-Grading is essential for all students, except any
special cases approved by the Administration as noted under
"Good Standing". Grading Procedures will be posted by the
Administration two weeks before each Grading period begins.
PROMOTIONS-All Preliminary students in good standing will
be eligible for promotion to their major departments of choice
when they have completed two terms. Promotions will be made
by faculty action following Administration authorization, and
normally only those in the higher brackets of grades will be
chosen. However, faculty meetings are scheduled throughout
the school year, and students in the Preliminary Division who
have shown evidence of prior experience and performance may
apply for promotion to the Intermediate Division at such
meetings. Should favorable action be taken, registration requirements will have to be adjusted with the School Administration.
Such promotion within a school season will not cancel out the
necessity for satisfactory completion of the courses in Lettering
and Perspective; in Painting Materials and Techniques (see note
under "Sculpture" course for exception to this requirement);
and in Anatomy Drawing.
COU RSE CR ED ITS-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.
Credit is not granted for subjects taken in which the student has
not been graded.
(By special arrangement beforehand with the Administration, in
writing, certain evening and summer school courses may be
accredited.)
Studio sessions are from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00, 1:00 P.M. to 4:00
P.M., and 7:00 P.M . to 10:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.
Lecture courses are scheduled from 4:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M.
Monday through Friday.
Intermediate Painting and Graphics students in good standing
may apply at these same meetings, following Administration
authorization, and with similar requ irements, for promotion to
the Advanced Division in recognition of their achievement, proficiency, and maturity of purpose as demonstrated in the major
studios. A week prior to the meeting, the applicant must declare
his intention to apply. One painting and one drawing for each
of the categories of Life and Portrait must be submitted, and
also one creative Composition which may be executed in any
medium, including Graphics.
Any student winning an Academy traveling scholarship will
simultaneously achieve Advanced Standing subject to fulfillment of the conditions of the scholarship.
23
FOUR YEAR CERTIFICATE-The Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts grants to students who have satisfactorily completed four years of study in the Acade~y Schools, or the
equivalent according to the Academy requirements. Only students whose records show Good Standing according to the final
decision of the School Administration, are eligible for these
Certificates.
COORDINATED DEGREE PROGRAM-The Graduate School
of Fine Arts of the University of Pennsylvania offers the degree
of Bachelor of Fine Arts to students who have completed the
prescribed professional studies at the Academy and the prescribed academic courses at the University. The privileges and
facilities of both institutions are available to students enrolled
in the coordinated B.F.A. program 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
approved by the Academy before they will be admitted to the
University.
The coordinated program leading to the degree of B.F.A. is
normally five years. To qualify for the degree a student must
have completed in good standing four years (96 s. c.) of professional study, two years of which must have been in the
Academy Schools. Up to two years (48 s. c.) may be accepted
in transfer from recognized studios or institutions at the discretion of the Academy Administration. A further condition is
election by the Academy Faculty, following Administration
approval, to Advanced Standing.
While the student is doing his professional work at the
Academy, he will also be taking courses at the University that
are concentrated in the humanities, with an emphasis on the
history of art. Complete information about this part of the
program is to be found in the Bulletin of the Graduate School
of Fine Arts of the University of Pennsylvania.
During his fifth year, the student will take a full time program
as a student in the Graduate School of Fine Arts.
Students in this program must maintain an unbroken record of
monthly registration of work, and at the end of each term
attain a grade of B- or better.
Students with incomplete records, after promotion to the
Advanced
.
. . Studio, may request special consideration for waivers '
In writing. The Administration may grant such waivers, on
Faculty recommendation, in cases of special merit.
All initial correspondence in regard to the Coordinated Program
should be addressed to the Academy. A detailed description of
the program is available upon request.

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 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 th is Academy. I n the Spring of 1969 the one thou sandth award was made. To emphasize the importance of these
awards and to broaden the advantages to our students, and
because the Fund realizes very generous income each year, the
Management, through its Committee on I nstruction, has established the practice of approving the recommendation of the
Faculty for either first or second awards. These scholarships
were first awarded in 1902.
In 1968, the award of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship credited
each student with $2,250 of which $1,500 was used for a
summer of travel and traveling expenses in Europe, and the
remaining $450 was used for Academy tuition for the two
terms immediately following. Each year the sums may vary, as
adjustments in tuition charges and traveling expenses dictate.
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
cases 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 otherwise ruled by the Committee on Instruction
on written application . The award of a Cresson Traveling
Scholarship the second time credits the student with the sum
established for that year to be used for travel and traveling
expenses, and may be used any time within twenty-eight
months after receipt of the award.
Ni ck Feher
EIGHT CRESSON TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS WERE
AWARDED IN 1968-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 Traveling Scholarships.
Competitors must have an aggregate of 96 Academy Winter
School weeks to their credit, 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.
Every student must have a complete and unbroken registration
record over the time included in computing eligibility except
for the time he is an advanced student (see "Registration of
Work") . Painters and Graphics Majors must also have satisfactorily completed the work in Materials and Techniques and
in Lettering and Perspective. Sculptors must meet the requirements of the Sculpture faculty. 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 work in competitions
must be approved and recorded before entry by two faculty
instructors.
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 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.
T~e F.acult~ will. not recommend awards of traveling scholar.
shlp~ If, In It~ OpiniOn, the work submitted is not of sufficient
merit to Justify such recommendation. A student may not be
awarde? ~o.re 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 testator provide European
Traveling Scholarships in amount and under 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 1968 representing an amount of $1500.
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
designed 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 five Schiedt Travel ing Scholarships of $1500 each were awarded in 1968. The
credit may be used any time within twenty-eight months after
receipt of the award.
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.
The recipient of a second traveling scholarship is granted the
sum 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
a~ditio nal study be advisable. Use of free tuition under such
~Ircumstances may be regulated and arranged with the AdminIstrator of the schools.

~ity. Every important museu.m, g~lIery, library: church, theater,
music hall and college or university IS convenient to the Academy, and the Academy studios are easily reached by the student

in 1876, was designed for the Academy by Frank Furness, and
is a nationally known architectural landmark.
THE ACADEMY GALLERI ES-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 cou ntry.
Special shows 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 exhibition. Additional special exhibitions are staged in the
Peale House Galleries and continue the tradition of showing
predominately American art, with an emphasis on contemporary work. These exhibitions, many of which are one-man
shows by distinguished artists-past and present-give students
an opportunity to examine and study important work of
national and international significance.

studios are ample, with high ceilings and north light. These are
augmented by smaller studios and areas designated for general
