INTRODUCTION
The Schools of the Pennsylvania
Academy are a local landmark , a
national treasure and an international refe rence.
Among its resources are a distinctive
history which informs the present
curricu lum , 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
I
the studies and exciting the efforts or
the artist gradually to unfold , enlighten and invigorate the talents o f
our countrymen:' Almost two centuries late r the Academy commun ity
continues to as pire 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
structure 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 scu I ptor
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 An, 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 Rembrand t 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, a nd became Director of the
School in 1882.
In 1876 the Academ y's Board noted
with pride that in their opinion the
school had no su peri or in any country,
and in 1905, at its hundredth anniversar y celebrat ion, William Merritt
Chase called it "the most important
art institution in America:' And indeed it was, for the Pennsylvan ia
Academy has been the initial training
ground of man y 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 a nd
Thomas Anshutz. In the earl)' 1900's,
there were William Merritt Chase,
Cecilia Beaux, Henry O. Tanner, Emil
Carlsen , Robe rt Vonnoh , Charles
GraRy, Joseph DeCamp and Henry
Tholll-on .
The students of the early 20th Centur y years often ac knowledged with
deep affection a nd respect their appreciation of the Academy school:
Robert Henri, William Glackens,
George Luks, John Sloan, A. Sterling
Calder, John Marin, Everett Shinn,
Charles Sheeler, Morton Sham berg,
Charles Demuth, Henry McCarter
and Arthur B. Carles who, a long with
Sheeler and Demuth , is one of America's outstanding Twentieth Century
Modernists. Many well-known artists,
students and teachers including
Hugh H. Breckenridge, Danie l
Garber, Albert Laessle, Edward
Redfield, George Harding , Walter
Steumpfig, Harry Rosin , Hobson
Pittman, and Franklin Watkins pre-
cede the outstanding 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
tea c hing and exhibiting at the
Academy shares its experience and
expertise with the next succeeding
generation, creating a n unbroken li ne
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 history, but
filled with that light which still illuminates the same creative activities it was
originally designed to serve.
But as the School grew, more 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
and - transformed it into studios,
classrooms, offices, and galleries to
accommodate an expanding student
enrollment, student activity and to
have small special exhibitions.
Time and change have had their effect on the Academy as on any institut ion or activity, but in its long and
distinguished history of creating,
collecting and exhibiting contemporar y art, the Pennsylvania Academy
still fulfills its function and sel-ves the
purpose as outlined in the original
charter.

LOCATION
The Academy school is located in one
of the great historical, 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. Further
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 colon ial 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 scientific and learned
society in America, and a hostof other
historic buildings, now restored and
maintained by the ational Park Service. In addition, the area includes the
largest collection of colonial domestic
architecture 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 Art, 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
grou p 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 whel-e scullers are
even more ubiquitous today than
when Thomas Eakins painted his incomparable portraits of them.
Besides the cultural advantages of the
city, students at the Academy have
ample opportunity to interact with a
host of students from 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 a nd 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 French paintings, many by Cezanne, Renoir and
Matisse; out at the end of the Main
Line is Valley Forge Park, a paradise
of natural beauty, especiall y in the
Spring and the Fall months. To the
south of the city is Chadds Ford, or
Andrew Wyeth country, where many
painters and illu strators have lived
and worked ever since the days of
Howard Pyle and N. C. Wyeth. To the
north of the city is the Bucks County
artist's colony of New Hope , as well as
nearby
ewtown 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 variety of cultural and
aesthetic experiences.

BUILDINGS
When the Penns ylvania Academy of
the Fine Ans at Broad and Cherry
Streets opened the· doors of its third
and present ho me, in time for the
gl'eat crowds of Centennial visitors in
1876. its vigorous a nd imaginative
polychrome de sig n wa s highly
acclaimed and ca used a sensation in
u1e normall y subdu ed Quaker City.
Designed by we yo ung Philadelphia
architectural firm of Furness and
Hewitt, wh ose principals were Frank
Furness and George W. Hewitt, the
build ing, ho using both a museum and
an school, was bold , colorful , Aooded
\Iith natural light, Aamboyantly decorated in the la test high Victorian
manner, ye t efficiently and functionally planned . T he building was completely resto red in 1976.
The majority of classes for we first
year stud ents a re held in another
Academy building, the Peale House at
1811 Chestnut Street and over 75 facuIty and ad va nced students occupy
private studios in that space.
T h e Pea le House facility allows
Academy artists to meet on a seven
day a week basis and to extend We
school cu rriculum in its professional
dime nsions.
COLLECTION
"What I admire most about the Pennylvania Academy is 'its integrit y. If the
chief job of the Museum 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 itself is 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
future:'
Theodore E. Stebbins,Jr.
Curator of American Painting
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

LIBRARY
The Academy Library provides students with a thorough survey of the
history of art, as well as materials to
stimulate individual inspiration. The
collection includes a clipping file, a
biographical file of artists, books,
magazines, exhibition catalogs and
color rep rod uctions.
ARCHIVES
The Archive of the Pennsylvania
Academy preserves primary source
materials relating to the history of the
institution. Archives include documents from the Academy schools and
from past exhibitions as well as information about many of the artists associated with the Academy. Researchers are welcome by appointment.

BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS
DEGREE
Because the Academy is devoted ex-
elusively to the study of Fine Arts it is
not a degree granting institution. A
Bachelor 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 requi rements for
their respective BFA programs.
Specific information may be obtained
from the Registrar's office.
REGULATIONS &
REGISTRATIO N
The Academy realizes that maximum
freedom fosters creative eflort and
permits unusual devotion to the art52
ist's self-discipline. The minimal regulations will not interfere with artistic
effort and in fact are found to aid in
that effort. Therefore these regulations are to be met for the student to
be eligible for promotion, individual
studio privileges, scholarships, prizes
and travel awards. Furthermore ,
those students who desire to appl y
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 traoscript 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 art ists assigned to
him.

THE WILLIAM EMLEN
CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
By th e liberal provisions ofthe wills of
Em le n C resson and Priscilla P. , his
wife, a Fund has been created as a
memorial to their deceased son,
William Emlen Cresson, Academicia n, th e inco me from which is to be
appli ed by the Pennsylvania Aca de m y o f th e Fine A rts in sendi ng
pupils of m erit to Europe. These
scholarships shall be awarded und e r
such ru les and regulations as shall be
ad opted from ti me to ti me by the
Board of Directors of the Penns ylvania Academy of the Fine Arts . The
award of Cresson Scholarships has
had significant influ e nce on hundreds of recipients over many years
and has been a great boon to this
Academy. In the Spring of 1969 th e
one thousandth award was mad e. To
emphasize the importance of these
awards and to broaden th e advantages to our students, and because the
Fund realizes very generous income
each year, the Management, through
its Committee on In struction, has established the practice of approving
the recommendation of the Facult y
for either first or second awards.
These scholarships were first awarded in 1902.
In 1978, the award or a Cresson
55
Traveling Scholarship credited eac h
stude nt with $3,700 of which S2.300
was used for a summer oftra\'el and
traveling expe nses in Europe. and
th e r e mainin g $1,400 was used for
Academ y tuitio n for the two terms
immedi atel y following. Each year the
sums may vary, as adj ustme nts in tuition charges and travelin g expenses
dictate. Each recipie nt is I-equired to
return to th e Academy for the continuance of regular studio work in an
additional year as a n advanced student. H e is ex pected to help set high
professi o nal standards amo ng our
students after his r etul-n from Europe. In cases of exceptio nal merit,
and when a very d ecided improve-
Koj i Ka wa i
m e nt is e vident , a student may,
through the same authority, receive
the award a second time. Competition for a second scho lars hip must be
entered during the year succeed ing
th e fir st a ward , unl ess otherwise
ruled by the Committee on Instructio n on written application. T he
awa rd o f a Cresson Traveling Scholarship the second time credits the
student with the sum established for
that year to be used for travel and
trave ling expenses, and may be used
any tim e within twenty-eight months
after receipt of the award.
Five Cres son Traveling Scho larships we re awarded in 1978. Every
student in good health and without
knowledge of any physical cond ition
or any other reason to prevent accepting and properly using such scho larships is eligible for competition fOI'

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 MayOl- of
Philadelphia be honored by this
Academy with an award recognizing
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
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 extend moral and
practical support at a moment when
such aid can most directly benefit the
difficult and unique transition from
student to independent artist.

CHARLES
THE
PRIZES- These prizes were established in 1881 by the gift of Mrs.
Charles Toppan, Miss Harriette R.
Toppan and Mr. Robert N. Toppan.

adhering to the positively expressed
terms of the original gift that "The

receive first attention of the examiners." First awarded in 1882.
Up to six prizes will be available each
