INTRODUCTION
The Schools of the Pennsylvania
Academy are a local landmark, a
national treasure and an international reference.
Among its resou rces are a distinctive
history which informs the present
curriculum, a sizable student population, a good faculty, a fine collection, a
beautiful building, and a centrallocation in a large city. These assets corre-
spond to factors described frequently
by art educators as critical to a productive art school environment. In
combination they provide a comprehensive and accessible base for the
development of visual artists.
Among the objectives of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts listed in
the application for Charter on December 26, 1805 are ".... assisting
the studies and exciting the efforts of
the artist gradually to unfold, enlighten and invigorate the talents of
our cou ntrymen:' Almost two centuries later the Academy community
continues to aspire toward those
goals.

HISTORY
Sandwiched between two skyscrapers
on Broad Street just north of City
Hall stands one of Philadelphia's most
remarkable architectural landmarks.
Although it is almost obscured by
what is next to it, the instant this
building comes into view it reveals a
structu re of unusual design and vigor.
Built in 1876, by the architectural firm
of Furness and Hewitt, it is conceived
in the eclectic American style of the
late nineteenth century. Fully restored
in 1976, this extraordinary building is
the home of an extraordinary organization - the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts.
The Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts is unique among American
Art Institutions. For one thing it is the
oldest. Founded in 1805,just six years
after the death of George Washington
and during Thomas Jefferson's second administration, it was conceived
as a museum and school from the
start. The Academy's collection, begun
with a boatload of casts of antique
sculpture chosen from Napoleon's
collection by Philadelphia's Nicholas
Biddle and Napoleon's sculptor
Jean-Antoine Houdon , was meant in
the beginning to be a teaching tool,
but has grown to prominence as one
of the nation 's great collections of
American Art, the keystone of a
major museum, and includes representative works of art from the
eighteenth through the twentieth
century.
Throughout the Academy's history,
the best artists in America have been
trained in its school and the best of
their art has been shown on its walls.
However, in the Colonies, and later in
the new Republic, there were no
schools where an American artist
could receive professional training.
To start such a school was the dream
of the painter Charles Willson Peale,
who rode with George Washington
during the Revolution , painted the
General many times, and who started
"Peale's Museum" in 1786. But Peale
always wanted a proper Art Academy
and made several attempts before the
Pennsylvania Academy was founded
in 1805.
In 1803 he wrote to his friend Thomas
Jefferson of his hopes to establish "an
Academy for the encouragement of
the fine arts:' The Academy received
its Charter in 1806, and by 1810 regular classes were scheduled.
Students did not pay tuition, and
instructors served voluntarily. George
Clymer, the Academy's first President
was a signer of the Declaration of
3
Independence and the fledgling organization included William Rush ,
Thomas Sully and Rembrandt Peale.
Several important artists strengthened the school's middle years. John
Sartain, the great mezzotint engraver,
a director of the Academy, and Christian Schussele were leading spirits.
America's greatest 19th Century artist, Thomas Eakins, began teaching in
1876, and became Director of the
School in 1882.
In 1876 the Academy's Board noted
with pride that in their opinion the
school had no superior in any country,
and in 1905, at its hundredth anniversary celebration, William Merritt
Chase called it "the most important
art institution in America:' And indeed it was, for the Pennsylvania
Academy has been the initial training
ground of many important and now
celebrated American artists, including: Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins,
Edwin Austin Abbey, and William
Michael Harnett. Aspiring students
came first to study with Christian
Schussele then with Thomas Eakins
and later with Thomas Hovenden and
Thomas Anshutz. In the early 1900's,
there were William Merritt Chase,
Cecilia Beaux, Henry O. Tanner, Emil
Carlsen, Robert Vonnoh, Charles
Gra Ry, J oseph DeCamp and Henry
ThoUl'on .
The students of the ea rl y 20th Century years often ac knowledged with
deep affection a nd respect their appreciation of the Academy school:
Robert Henri, William Glackens,
George Luks, Jo hn Sloan, A. Sterling
Calder, J ohn Marin, Everett Sh inn ,
Charles Sheeler, Morton Sham berg,
Char les Dem uth , Henry McCarter
and Arthur B. Carles who , along with
Sheeler an d Demuth, is one of America's outstanding Twentieth Century
Modernists. Many well-known a rtists,
students an d teac hers including
Hugh H. Brec kenridge, Daniel
Ga rber, Albert Laessle , Ed wa rd
Redfield , George Ha rding , Walter
Steumpfig, H a rr y Rosin , H obso n
Pittman, and Franklin Watkins pre-
cede the outstand ing group of artists
who comprise the present faculty of
the Academy School.
The Pennsylvania Academy is unique
in its tradition of regenerative process
wherein each generation of artists
teaching and exhib iting at the
Academy shares its experience and
expert ise with the next succeeding
generation, creating an unbroken lin e
of excellence that stretches from
Charles Willson Peale to the present.
And the Academy building itself is a
work of art. Its restored studio spaces
are not only redolent of its histor y, but
filled with that light wh ich still illuminates the same creative activities it was
originally designed to serve.
But as the School grew, mOl'e space
was needed . In 1962 the Academy
purchased the Belgravia Hotel, at
4
1811 Chestnut Street, named it "Peale
House" after the Academy's founder
a nd - tran sformed it into studios,
classrooms , offices, and galleries to
accommodate an expanding student
enrollment, student acti\'ity and to
have small special exhibitions.
Time a nd change have had their effect o n the Academy as on any institution or activity, but in its long and
distinguished histor y of creating,
collecting and exhibiting contemporary art, the Pennsylvania Academy
still fulfills its function a nd serves the
purpose as outlined in the original
charter.

LOCATION
The Academy school is located in one
of the great histol-ical, cultural and
aesthetic centers of America. An easy
walk south from the school on Broad
Street, for example, is the monumental City Hall, on which Alexander
Calder's grandfather, a stone-cutter,
spent thirty years doing various
statuary including the thirty-seven
foot statue of William Penn which
stands atop the main tower. Funher
south, at Broad and Locust streets, is
the Academy of Music, an acoustical
masterpiece and home of the worldfamous Philadelphia Orchestra. East
of the Academy of Music on Locust
Street is the Pennsylvania Historical
Society which has the finest collection
of colonial manuscripts in existence, a
great furniture collection, and several
hundred portraits by such early masters as Benjamin West, the Peales,
Gilbert Stuart and Thomas Sully. On
down Locust Street is Washington
Square and the beginning of the Society Hill area, which includes Independence Hall, the American
Philosophical Society, the first and still
the leading scienti fic and learned
society in America, and a host of other
historic buildings, now restored and
maintained by the ational Park Service. In addition, the area includes the
largest collection of colon ial domestic
al-chiteclUre in the nation. West on
Locust Street from the Academy of
Music and near the Peale House is
Rittenhouse Square, the center of the
Victorian City, on which is located the
Curtis Institute of Music and the Art
Alliance.
West on Cherry Street from the
Academy School is Logan Circle, with
its fountains and statuary done by
Alexander Calder's father. Out the
Parkway from Logan Circle is the
Franklin Institute, the Rodin
Museum and finally the Philadelphia
Museum of An, which includes a
large mobile by Alexander Calder as
well as many fine collections of European and Oriental art, especially the
Johnson and Arensberg collections of
paintings. The Museum stands at the
beginning of Fairmount Park, the
largest municipal park in the world. It
includes the Philadelphia Zoo, the
first in the nation, and the finest
group of 18th century mansions north
of Virginia. Due to the influence of
the early Quakers and their love of
botany, the Park contains almost
three million trees of endless variety
and beauty. It stretches out from the
Museum on both sides of the
Schuylkill River where scullers are
even more ubiquitous today than
when Thomas Eakins painted his incomparable portraits of them.
Besides the cullUral advantages of the
city, students at the Academy have
ample opportunity to interact with a
host of students f.-om no less than 48
other institutions of higher education
5
in the Philadelphia area, including
several other fine art colleges.
Philadelphia is not only an urban
center of historical and contemporary
beauty; its near and far suburbs are
also of great interest to the artist: to
the west of the city along the Main
Line, for instance, there is the Albert
Barnes Museum which contains one
of the truly great collections of 19th
and early 20th century FI-ench paintings, many by Cezanne, Renoir and
Matisse; out at the end of the Main
Line is Valley Forge Park, a paradise
of natural beauty, especially in the
Spring and the Fall months. To the
south of the city is Chadds Ford, or
Andrew Wyeth country, where many
painters and illustrators have lived
and worked ever since the days of
Howal-d Pyle and . C. Wyeth. To the
north of the city is the Bucks County
artist's colony of New Hope, as well as
nearb y Newtown where Edward
Hicks, a Quaker primitive painter,
spent his life painting some sixty, now
famous "Peaceable Kingdoms:'
The City of Philadelphia and its suburbs, then, provide Academy students
with a wide va riety of cultural and
aesthetic experiences.

BUILDINGS
When lhe Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts at Broad and Cherry
Streets opened th e~d oo rs of its third
and present home, in time for lhe
great crowds of Centennial visitors in
1876, its vigo rous and imaginative
po lyc h ro m e d es ig n wa s highl y
acclaimed and caused a sensation in
the normally subd ued Quaker City.
Designed by the yo ung Philadelphia
architectural fi rm o f Furness a nd
Hewitt, whose p rincipa ls were Frank
Furness and George W. Hewitt, the
bui lding, housing both a museum and
art school, was bold , colorful, flooded
with na tura l light, flamboyantly decorated in the la test hi gh Victorian
manner, yet efficientl y and functionally planned . T he building was completely resto red in 1976.
The majority of classes for the first
year students are h eld in a nother
Acade my build ing, the Peale House at
181 I Chestnut Stree t and ove r 75 faculty and adva nced students occup y
private stud ios in that space.
The Pea le Hou se facilit y allows
Academy artists to meet on a seven
day a week basis and to extend the
school cur r iculum in its professional
dime nsions.
COLLECTION
"What I admire most about the Pennsylvania Academy is 'iLS integrity. If the
chief job of the Museu m is to preserve, as I believe it is, then the
Academy has done its job well. The
great Furness building remains intact
while most of our other nineteenthcentury museums have been "improved" beyond recognition. The
collection itselfis a fine one, greater by
far as a preserved whole than as a
gathering of undeniable masterworks. In an age when museums seek
to dazzle, the Academy is one of a
handful of institutions which seeks to
preserve its heritage, keeping faith
with the past while planning for the
furu re:'

LIBRARY

Academy preserves primary source
materials relating to the history of the

from past exhibitions as well as information about many of the artists associated with the Academ y. Researchers are welcome by appointment.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
FOUR YEAR CERTIFICATE
The Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts grants its Certificate to
students who have satisfactorily completed four years of study in the
Academy Schools, or the equivalent
according to the Academy requirements. Only students whose records
are complete according to the final
decision of the School Administration, are eligible for these Certi ficates.
By special arrangement work done in
the Evening or Summer schools may
be credited.
BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS
DEGREE
Because the Academy is devoted exclusively to the study of Fine Arts it is
not a degree granting institution. A
Bachelol- of Fine Arts degree is available, however, in conjunction with the
Philadelphia College of Art or the
University of Pennsylvania. Both institutions recognize the attainment of
the Academy's certi ficate as satisfying
the studio credit requirements for
their respective BFA programs.
Specific information may be obtained
52
from the Registrar's office.
REGULATIONS &
REGISTRATION
The Academy realizes that maximum
freedom fosters creative effort and
permits unusual devotion to the artist's self-discipline. The minimal regulations will not illlerfere with artistic
effort and in fact are found to aid in
that effort. Therefore these regulations are to be met for the slUdent to
be eligible fOl- promotion, individual
studio privileges, scholarships, prizes
and travel awards. Furthermore,
those students who desire to apply
the credit for studio work done at the
Academy toward an Academic degree
must have a complete record of registration as well as a Faculty evaluation
of the quality of the work . This record
will constitute a proper transcript for
the Academic University or College.
Registration requirements are
satisfied when each student has registered one piece of work each month
with each of the artists assigned to
him.
PRELIMINARY DIVISION

SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES
William Gannolta
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 regu lations as shall be
adopted from time to time by the
Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The
award of Ct'esson Scholarships has
had significant influence on hun-
Cresson 77
dreds of recipients over many years
and has been a great boon to this
Academy. In the Spring of 1969 the
one thousandth 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 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.
In 1977, the award of a Ct'csson
Traveling Scholat'ship credited each
student with $3,600 of which $2,300
was used for a summer of tt'avel and
55
Georgette Veeder
Cresson 77
traveling expenses in Europe, and
the t'e maining $1,300 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 Academ y 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 improve-

me n t is e vid e nt , a student may,
thro ugh the same authority, receive
the award a seco nd time. Competition fo r a second scholarship must be
entered during th e year succeeding
the first a ward, unless otherwise
ruled by th e Committee on Instructio n o n written appli cation. The
award of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship the second time credits the
student with the sum established for
th at year to be used for travel and
traveling expenses , and may be used
any time within twenty-eight months
after receipt of the award.
Fi ve Cr esso n Traveling Scholar-
ships were awarded in 1977. Every
student 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 90 Academy Winter School weeks
to their credit which must have been
accumulated within five (5) years of
the date of competition. The final 30
weeks (two terms) must be spent in
the Winter School of the Academy
and must be within the year of competition. One summer and one sem56
ester of evening school or two semesters of evening school may be allowed
as equivalent of one semester by special approval of the faculty and admInistratIOn.
Every student must have a complete
and unbroken registration record.
Painters and Graphics Majors must
also have satisfactorily completed the
work in Materials and Techniques in
Perspective and Art History. Sculptors must meet the requirements of
the Sculpture faculty and attend the
Art History lectures. All financial obligations must be fully paid.
All students entering the competition
are required to complete the official

been done in the Academy studios or
for Academy registration. It must be
work completed within the last 30
weeks of the Winter School. All work
in competitions must be approved
and recorded before entry by lwo
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.
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 additional study be advisable. Use of free
tuition under such circumstances
may be regulated and arranged with
the Dean of the schools.
The Faculty will not recommend
awards oftraveling scholarships if, in
its opinion, the work submitted is not
James Conboy
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.

SCHOLARSHIPS
The J. Henry Schiedt Memorial
Scholarships in accordance with the
will of Cornelia Schiedt, provide for

according to the income available .
The award of these scholarships will
be made on the recommendation of
the Faculty by the Board of Trustees
to students of outstanding merit.
Eligibility for this competition will be
based on the same requirements as

travel. It is therefore possible, under
certain circumstances, for a competing student to make application to the
58
Dean of the Schools at least three
months before the date of competition for a particular program. These
Scholarships were first awarded in
1949 and six Schiedt Traveling
Scholarships of $2,3 00 each were
awarded in 1977. The credit may be
used an y time within twenty-eight

THE PENNSYLVANIA
GOVERNOR'S AWARD
THE PHILADELPHIA MAYOR'S
AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING
ACCOMPLISHMENT BY A
STUDENT IN THE FINE ARTS
As the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts was established in Philadelphia in 1805 in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, it is deemed appropriate that the offices of the Governor of
Pennsylvania and of the Mayor of
Philadelphia be honored by this
Academy with an award recognizing
Jill Rupinski
the contribution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the arts in
America and of the importance of the
City of Philadelphia as a cultural
center.
Two awards , of $1,000,00 each, have
therefore been established to be given
annually to two graduating Pennsylvania Academy students who have
shown outstanding accomplishment
in the fine arts.
These awards which are unrestricted
in their use, will be given upon the
recommendation of the faculty and
are limited to those students who have
60
Mayors AwaTd 77
in the preceding year, won a Cresson,
Schiedt or a Ware scholarship and are
exhibiting in our annual student exhibition as candidates for a second
award.
This special consideration is given to
these graduating students in anticipation of their future contribution to
the community through their art, and
in particular, to ex tend moral and
practical support at a moment when
such aid can most directl y benefit the
difficult and unique transition from
student to independent artist.
CHARLES
TOPPAN
PRIZE~ These prizes were established in 1881 by the gift of Mrs.
Charles Toppan, Miss Harriette R.
Toppan and Mr. Robert N. Toppan.
Due to the considerable appreciation
in value of this trust, the following
regulations were put into effect in
1962, enlarging the benefits 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 six pri~es will be available each
year at the discretion of the Committee on Instruction, depending on the
amount of income available. A maximum of three drawings matted or
