INTRODUCTION
The Schools of the Pennsylvania
Academy are a local landmark, a
national treasure and an international reference.
Among its resources 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

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
ofthe 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
GraRy, Joseph DeCamp and Henry
Thouron.
The students of the early 20th Century years often acknowledged with
deep affection and 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 Shamberg,
Charles Demuth, Henry McCarter
and Arthur B. Carles who, along with
Sheeler and Demuth, is one of America's outstanding Twentieth Century
Modernists. Many well-known artists,
students and teachers including
Hugh H. Breckenridge, Daniel
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
teaching and exhibiting at the
Academy shares its experience and
expertise with the next succeeding
generation, creating an unbroken line
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 institution or activity, but in its long and
distinguished history of creating,
collecting and exhibiting contemporary art, the Pennsylvania Academy
still fulfills its function and serves the
purpose as outlined in the original
charter.

DiTector of The Academy
WCATION
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 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 scientific and learned
society in America, and a host of other
historic buildings, now restored and
maintained by the National 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.
Wes.t 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
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 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 ofhistorical 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 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, 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
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 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 variety of cultural and
aesthetic experiences.

BUILDINGS
When the Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts at Broad and Cherry
Streets opened the doors of its third
and present home, in time for the
great crowds of Centennial visitors in
1876, its vigorous and imaginative
polychrome design was highly
acclaimed and caused a sensation in
the normally subdued Quaker City.
Designed by the young Philadelphia
architectural firm of Furness and
Hewitt, whose principals were Frank
Furness and George W. Hewitt, the
building, housing both a museum and
art school, was bold, colorful, flooded
with natural light, flamboyantly decorated in the latest high Victorian
manner, yet efficiently and functionally planned. The building was completely restored in 1976.
The majority of classes for the first
year students are held in another
Academy building, the Peale House at
1811 Chestnut Street and over 75 faculty and advanced students occupy
private studios in that space.
The Peale House facility allows
Academy artists to meet on a seven
day a week basis and to extend the
school curriculum in its professional
dimensions.
COLLECTION
"What I admire most about the Pennsylvania Academy is its integrity. 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 reprod uctions.
ARCHIVES
The Archive of the Penn sylvania
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 Academ y. Researchers are welcome by appointment.
" I take it for granted that the beginner has
panly fitted himself und er the tuitio n of
an able professor:'

"Thomas Eakins was a man of great
character. He was a man of iron will
and his will was to paint and to carr)'
out his life as he thought it should
go. This he did. It cost him heavil)
but in his works we have the precious result of his independence,
his genel-Uus h eart and his big
mind. Eakins was a deep student of
life, and with a great love he studied
humanity frankl y. He was not
afraid of what his study revealed tu
him:'

"[ deeply appreciate rour interest in the

possible intentions ... the Academy
would like to have your own work represented in its collection , and that you will
give this matter consideration at the present or some time in the future. We have

By William Merritt Chase,

Robert Hmri,
Student 1886-1888. 1892-1894
Let a student enter the school with this
advice:
No matter how good the school is, his
education is in his own hands. All education must be self-education .
. . . The school is a thing of the period .
It has the faults and virtues of the
period.
It is up to the student whether he becomes a school-made man or whether he
uses the school as a place of experience
where there are both good and bad advices, where there are strengths and
weaknesses, where there are facilities, and
much information to be had the instructors, and much to be gained by association
with the other students .
. . . A school should be an offering of
opportunity, not a direction, and the
student should know that the school will
be good for him only to the degree that
he makes it good.

(1923; rev. ed. 1960), pp.
120-21.

"There [PAFA] I received ineffaceable

completed four years of study (120
credits) 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 Certificates. By special arrangement work done in the Evening or Summer Schools may be
credited. Students must complete a
minimum of two years Full Time at
the Academy in order to receive a
Certificate.
BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS
DEGREE
A Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is
available in conjunction with the
Philadelphia College of Art or the
University of Pennsylvania. Both institutions recognize the attainment
of the Academy's certificate as satisfying the studio credit requirements for their respective BFA
programs. Specific information may
be obtained from the Registrar's
Office.
mum freedom fosters creative effort and permits unusual devotion
to the artist's self discipline . The
minimal regulations will not interfere with artistic 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 apply the credit
for studio work done at the Academy toward the Certificate or the
BFA must have a complete record
of registration as well as a Faculty
evaluation of the quality of the work.
Registration requirements are satisfied
when each student has registered
one piece of work each month with
each of the artists assigned to him.

In either case, if a student fails to
enter the course, or withdraws or is
discontinued therefrom at any time
prior to completion the rules listed
under Veterans will apply.
FINANCIAL AID
The Academy Financial Aid Program is comprised of grant aid, work
study, loans, and tuition scholarships. The Financial Aid Form (FAF)
of the College Scholarship Service
serves as the application for most aid
at the Academy. Aid for new and
transfer students is need based and
is initiated by the FAF. Continuing
students are also eligible for merit
aid (See "Academy Tuition Scholarships").
48
Students must maintain Satisfactory
Progress, as defined by Academy academic policy, in order to continue
to receive financial aid. Students who
are unable to do so will be placed on
probation. Failure to resume satisfactory progress in the prescribed
time, generally one semester, will result in the loss of financial aid. Students who withdraw without official
approval or who are dismissed will
not be eligible for financial aid on
their return for the repeat of that
semester.
Any student who completes the FAF
will be considered for assistance but
preference will be given to students
whose Needs Analysis Reports
(FAFNAR's) have been received
from College Scholarship Service by
the preceding March 31. Applicants to the School need not be admitted to apply for aid, but must
have been admitted to the School
before aid will be awarded. Students
should allow four to six weeks for
the completion of the FAFNAR.
Tmnsfer students are required to submit a financial aid transcript for each
post-secondary school they have attended indicating whether or not
they received aid. Federal law prohibits distribution of grant or loan
funds before receipt of the tran script and it should therefore be
filed early. Transcript forms are
available from the Aid Office.
Additional information, brochures,
and the Financial Aid Form are
available through the Financial Aid
Office, Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts, 1811 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia, 19103.
ACADEMY TUITION
SCHOLARSHIPS
Each March, the Academy conducts
an annual tuition assistance competition for full time, enrolled students. The scholarships are awarded
on the basis of merit and need for
the ensuing academic year. Students
are required to complete the Financial Aid Form (F AF) of the College
Scholarship Service and to submit
three pieces of work for review by
the entire Faculty. These scholarships are awarded in conjunction
with those federal and state financial aid programs administered by
the Academy, but are governed by
Academy policy.
All Tuition Scholarships require a
minimum of fifteen hours work for
the school each year, and those designated as Work Scholarships involve a weekly commitment of nine
to eighteen hours. The jobs to which
students are assigned are generally
integrated with their studio work.
Students are notified at the time
of th~ award of the expected
commitment.
These Tuition Scholarships have
been made possible by Academy

FOREIGN STUDENT
SCHOLARSHIPS
The Academy encourages students
from foreign countries by offering
full tuition scholarships. These are
awarded by a committee of the Faculty as a result of their evaluation of
the students portfolio. Foreign students who are accepted must present solid evidence of sufficient funds
to enable them to pay their living
and other expenses. Application is
made through the Admissions Office.
VETERANS
The P.A.F.A. is approved for veterans
education under the provisions of
Title 38 U.S. Code Section 1776 and
the Veterans Administration Regulation 14251E. Students enrolled under
provision of Title 38 U.S. Code for
Veterans Education are governed by
the following:
Veterans must register at least one
piece of work with their respective
assigned teachers no less than once
each month. Veterans will be required
to submit monthly written veri fication
of such registration for each class.
The regular school program is available to a veteran only on a Full-time*
basis. Even in those situations where
a student is doubly enrolled in the
BFA program between the Academy
and either Philadelphia College of
Art or the University of Pennsylvania
his status must remain "Full-Time"*.
A Veteran wishing to enroll on a part
time basis will be restricted to the
Evening or Summer school programs.
In order to comply with grade and
credit regulations as outlined by the
VA, a student is required to take a
minimum of three evening or summer school courses resulting in at least
three grades and 4.5 semester credits. Veterans are subject to all school
academic and disciplinary rules
without exception.
*Full-Time = 15 semester credits
(30 clock hours)
Unsatisfactory Progress Students receiving punitive grades are placed
on probation for sixty days. I f unsatisfactory progress continues beyond the probationary period, the
student's training will be immediately interrupted and all concerned
will be notified accordingly. Students dismissed because of unsatisfactory progress may apply for reentrance; however, each case will be
considered on the basis of the facts
involved.
Refund Policy In the event a war orphan or eligible person fails to enter
50
the course, or withdraws or is discontinued therefrom at any time prior to
completion, the amount charged to
the veteran for tuition, fees, and other
charges for a portion of the course
shall not exceed the approximate pro
rata portion of the total charges for
tuition, fees, and other charges that
the length of the completed portion
of the course bears to its total length.
Credit for Previous Education and
Training Appropriate credit is given
for comparable previous education
and training, and the training period
will be shortened accordingly.

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 Pennsylva-
nia 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. 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 award51
ed in 1902.
In 1978, the award of a Cresson
Traveling Scholarship credited each
student with $3,700 of which $2 ,300
was used for a summer of travel and
traveling expenses in Europe, and
the remaining $1,400 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
Kenneth Dirsa

J ames Repenning
Cusson 80
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 writte n 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.
Fi ve Cresson Traveling Scholarships were awarded in 1978. 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 com52
petition. One summer and one semester of evening school or two semesters of evening school may be allowed
as equivalent of one semester by
special approval of the administra.
lIon.
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
Brigitte Rutenberg
C,"esson 80
Charles Tisa
Cresson 80
are required to complete the official
application. All work submitted in
competition must be that which has
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 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 un-
glazed. 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 70 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
53
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 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.

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
54
the Faculty by the Board of Trustees
to students of outstanding merit.
These Scholarships were first awarded
in 1938, one Ware Traveling Scholarship was awarded in 1978 representing an amount of $2,300.

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 Trustees
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
55
Dean of the Schools at least three
months before the date of competition for a particular program.
These Scholarships were fi rst
awarded in 1949 and seven Schiedt
Traveling Scholarships of $2,300
each were awarded in 1978 . The
credit may be used any time within
twenty-eight months after receipt of
the award.

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
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
57
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.
THE
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.
