REPORT

OF

BOARD

THE

OFFICERS

OF

DIRECTORS

AND

In presenting the Annual Report for 1954, we are immediately conscious
of the fact that our minds chiefly have been full, and the hands of our
staff busy, with preparations for our 150th Anniversary celebration. To
prepare adequately for this great event has been a very heavy responsibility and, of necessity, certain of our normal activities had to be curtailed
in order that all would be in readiness by January of 1955. It also is the
reason why this Report will reach you later than is customary.
Our Report of last year stressed our financial needs and the fact that the
City appropriation of $25,000.00 had been realized. We are happy to
report now that this grant has been continued. The plans for our celebration, of course, entailed considerable expenditure, both in preparation and
in realization. The largest single contribution to encourage us in that planning was the gift of another $10,000.00 from Mrs. Harrison S. Morris,
once more as a memorial to her late husband, Harrison S. Morris, Managing Director of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from 1892 to
1905. Other contributions to this end have been most gratefully received
and are listed in another part of this Report. They were sufficiently generous to assure us that our celebration would not entail financial embarrassment for the institution.
Two very major physical improvements were made this year: the installation of central steam heat and a new entrance motif -

both reported

more fully under "Buildings." The hope of sometime achieving these
changes had been entertained for a considerable number of years. Due
to the inconvenience which the work on the front of the building would
cause our visitors, it was decided to close the galleries to the public during
the month of August.
The 149th Annual Exhibition of Oil Painting and Sculpture was held early
in 1954 and made possible, also, through the generosity of Mrs. Morris .
The Spring saw a succession of exhibitions: The Fellowship Annual Exhibition; the Peter and Earl Miller Exhibition in the Philadelphia Artists' Gallery;
the Cul tura l Olympics Exhibition; the Per Krohg Exhibition; and the Student
Exhibition. In the Fall, however, no Water Color, Print and Drawing Exhibition was held. Thus, the only special featur es were the 20th Annual
Exhibition of the Art Director;/ Club o f Philadelphia, so thoroughly organ-

4

ized and handled by their committees that it puts a minimum of responsibility on our Staff; and the Memorial Retrospective Exhibition of Work by
Catharine Grant.
Our School enrollment was again encouraging, and we believe that, with
other schools of higher learning, we will enjoy continuing good attendance,
as the experts predict increasing educational enrollments on the college
level.
We continue to be grateful to our Women's Committee for its gracious
help and encouragement. This year, we have reason to thank them particularly for their exemplary project of an "Open Studio" afternoon, when
they arranged a reception at the Academy for subscribing guests after a
tour of visits to nine distinguished artists' studios in the center of the City.
This affair was successful both financially and from the stand-point of
public relations.
It is with deep regret that we record here the sudden death of Mr. C.
Alison Scully on the evening of November 8, 1954, following his attendance at our Board meeting that afternoon. Mr. Scully had been a valued
member of the Board since December, 1945.
This year marks the final settlement concerning our interest in the property
at Chester Springs. It was sold to the Good News Motion Picture Company in August, 1952. In addition to a cash settlement, the Academy held
a mortgage. The Company failed to make interest payments beginning in
February, 1954 and in November of that year the Academy had to foreclose. The property was sold at public auction but the Company, fortunate
in finding financial assistance, was able to buy it and continue its ownership. The Academy received full payment of its mortgage.
Certainly, a particular note of thanks should be made here to our small
but loyal staff, who have given us such excellent help in preparation for
our 150th birthday.

SCHOOLS
There has been an increase in enrollment for both the day and evening
sessions .
Franklin Watkins has returned to the school from The American Academy
in Rome, and is now critic in the Advanced Portrait Class as well as chief
critic in the Advanced Life Studio, and general critic for all composition
work. Since the resignation of Roy C. Nuse, in the spring of 1954, the
Portrait Studios have been conducted by Julius Bloch and Roswell Weidner.
Mr. Bloch also conducts the Saturday studios in Head Sketch and Croquis.
With the late return of Walker Hancock from Italy, where he was carrying
out several commissions, it was necessary for . Harry Rosin to conduct the
Portrait and Life Studios in Sculpture. In the future, Mr. Hancock will work
19

enl"irely with the students in Sculpture Composition and its Relation to
Architecture.
William Sasagawa has continued to assist Edward Shenton in the illustration Department. An ever-increasing need for these students to have
knowledge of methods used in commercial illustration has made it necessa ry f or Mr. Sasagawa to conduct field trips to commercial studios and
plants, and to have discussions with the students on the subjects of
lithography and typesetting .
Miss Elizabeth Mongan, Curator of the Rosenwald Print Collection, began
a series of lectures and discussions, for the 1954-55 season, on the Evolution of Print Making t using the Academy's fine print collection, as well as
the unsurpassed one of Mr. Lessing J. Rosenwald, to illustra te her talks.
We a re most grateful to Mr. Rosenwald for this opportunity to have our
studen ts study his Collection, and for permitting us the use of some of Miss
Mongan's valuable time.
On the afternoon of May 20th, Mr. and Mrs. David M. Gwinn, for the
second consecutive year, gave a party in the galleries to introduce friends
of the Academy to student work on exhibition for travel scholarship competitions and other school prizes. The party was a great success and the
total sales realized very gratifying.
Mr. Wallace Peters, from the University of Pennsylvania, had a series of
meetings on the Problems of Design, in the Summer School, along with
men from our regular Faculty: Julius Bloch, Francis Speight, Morris Blackburn and Roswell Weidner.
Former students who won national honors during the period of this report
include: Walter Hood, who had his scholarship at the American Academy
in Rome renewed for another year, to continue his work in mural painting;
Karl Karhumaa (sculpture), Robert Martin (painting) and Cleade Enders
(painting) who received grants of $1000.00, $1500.00, and $1000.00
respectively from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation.
The Academy again was well represented by present and former students
as well as its faculty in the 129th Annual Exhibition of the National Academy of Design. Francis Speight acted on its Jury of Awards and Walter
Stuempflg on its Jury of Selection. Peter Lister, a current student, had one
of his paintings included for exhibition. Awards to former students were
as follows: $500.00 to Thomas Yerxa; $400.00 to Paul Wescott; $100.00
to Benton Spruance. Works by Walter Stuempflg and Ben Kamihira were
purchased .

During 1954, Walter Stuempfig sold two of his paintings to The Newark
Museum of Art and the Phillips Gallery.

PUBLIC

RELATIONS

First, we record our deep appreciation to the art critics, ' and representatives of the p ress, art and other publications, calendars of various organizations, the radio and television, who have lent us their splendid cooperation during the year, which, as we plan for our 150th Anniversary celebration has been pa rticularly heartening and very widespread.
Concerts of great and seldom-heard music in t he chamber music field
continue in our galleries for the sixth consecutive year, under the auspices
of this department, with some of Philadelphia's most distinguished musicians participating. We thank each one of those pe rforme rs, Mr. Vladimir
Sokoloff, The Music Pe rformance Trust Fund of the American Phonograph
Industry, N. Stetson and Company, and two members of our Board of
Directors, for their part in making these excellent conce rts possible.
The American Society of Ancient Instruments held its twenty-sixth annual
festival in our galleries April 21 st, 22nd, and 23rd. The total attendance
for the concerts of this splendid organization, dedicated to the fine music
of earlier centuries, played on instruments for which it was written, and
for our own five, was around 3700.
During the annual meetings of the College Art Association of America,
and the Society of Architectural Historians, in January, the Academy was
host at a reception and tea. On the same evening, a supper followed by
a symposium, was arranged for t he visiting members of these two organizations by the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects, also in
21

our galleries. The National Freedom Day Association held a breakfast
here in February. The Summer Workshop of the Philadelphia Board of
Education came to us in July for an afternoon party at which time the
Academy arranged a special exhibition of work by Delaware Valley artists
from its permanent collection . These special groups brought approximately
1000 visitors to us.
In the life and annual classes, we added 306 new members during 1954:
9 members increased their classifications and 6 sent contributions with
dues, bringing $4569.00 in new funds to the Academy. One new Fellow
was added, and, due to her increased contributions, one member was
elected a Benefactor (both in perpetuity).
Efforts are made continually, to b-ring the best in American art to our galleries, augmented by a program of special events. An ever-growing membership to enjoy this program is one of the most rewarding things that
can happen to the Academy's officers. We continue to seek our current
members' cooperation toward this end.

BUILDINGS
MAIN BUILDING, BROAD AND CHERRY STREETS
and

ANNEX,

1834 ARCH STREET

This year marked two very maior physical improvements to our building
at Broad and Cherry Streets. The first was the installation of a high-pressure
steam line, by contract with The Philadelphia Electric Company, to supply
heat for our building. The project was made possible through the cooperation of the Y. M. Co A., our neighbors to the southwest and across
Burns Street. Our boilers were very antiquated and long past normal life
for such equipment, and our smoke-stack a source of constant annoyance
to the Y. M. C. A . They, having previously installed this central steam system, saved us a prohibitive expense (opening the street at 15th and Arch
Streets and continuing north and east to our building) by granting us an
easement across the basement ceiling of their building. The new system
is now giving us adequate heat which we understand will not be more
expensive than our old system -

perhaps even much less -

and, when

the old boilers are removed from our basement, a large area will be
available for other uses.
The second great improvement is the installation of a new entrance motif
on our Broad Street facade. The old iron and glass grilled sliding doors
had reached that stage where their repair was no longer possible. The
heat loss at that point was considerable and the inadequacy of the doors'

22

size a safety hazard. With the installation of the new stainless steel and
glass motif, including a vestibule whose heat is thermostatically controlled,
we have corrected these defects, and in addition brought comfort to the
front rooms of our building for the first time in many years. The removal
of the two stone arches above the door level made possible the installation
of a large area of glass which has t ransformed our former gloomy vestibule
into a place of great li ght. The beautiful simplicity of the design is truly
an enhancemen t , and our approach to visitors now cheerful and welcoming. As an incident in this transformation, the antique brass chandelier
from the Library has been chrome-plated and hung in the vestibule.
The usual amount of refurbishing , painting, repairing of wiring, et cet'era,
was accomplished both at Broad and Cherr y St reets and cit 1834 Arch
Street, through the use of our own maintenance crew.

WOMEN1S

COMMITTEE

On the invitation of the Chairman, Mrs. Beale, in an effort to acquaint the
members more fully with the activities of the Academy, Mr. Fraser, its
Director, spoke to the group in November 1953 on the history of the
Academy, fo llowing it with a tour of the building . In this calendar year,
he was followed, in subsequent meetings, by Messrs . Walker Hancock,
who spoke on the Academy's sculpture department and the problems confronting all sculptors today; Hobson Pittman, who told of his work with
the young painters in the school; and Raymond T. Entenmann, who presented a program consisting of color slides and commentary about the
school, recenlly completed for use at other schools, clubs, et cetera.
Members presided at the refreshment table for the private view of the
149th Annual Exhibition; t he Peter and Earl Miller Exhibition; and the Per
Krohg Exhibition; and entertained

The main activity of the year was a tour of nine central city artists' studios,
followed by a reception at the Academy, on October 20th, with the net ·
proceeds from the $5 subscription per person going to the Academy's
150th Anniversary Fund. The following artists' studios were visited : Morris
Blackburn, Julius Bloch,

Jack Bookbinder,

Jessie

Drew-Bear,

Abraham

Hankins, Leonard Nelson and Franklin Watkins (painters); Evangelos Frudakis and Henry W. Mitchell (sculptorsl. Mrs. Hart McMichael and the
members of her Tour Committee produced an event very satisfactory from
every point of view. The appreciation of the entire Committee is recorded
here to the artists for their excellent collaboration in making this event so
successful.

THE

FE L LOWSHIP

The Fellowship (alumni) was organized in 1897 to foster a spirit of fraternity between former and present students of the Academy.
In 1954 it supplied five speakers for the Gallery Talks', and made available
its usual $100 for the Fellowship Prize, during the 149th Annual Exhibition
of Painting and Sculpture. Two lectures, part of the 1953-54 Fellowshipsponsored series, were given during the period of this Exhibition by louis
Kronenberger and Gordon B. Washburn.
The Fellowship Annual Exhibition of Painting, Sculpture and Graphics,
including a gallery of student work, was held from March 12th through
April 11 tho The organization turned its customary $350.00 over to t~e
Academy for this use of its galleries . with attending services.
Several student representatives serve on its Board of Managers to help
keep the Board informed concerning current students' welfare and needs.
Recommendations are made to students for teaching positions and other
income-producing opportunities.
It has a membership of ove r 500 and an annual income of approximately
$1500.00.
Mr. Walker Hancock is President, with Miss Ethel Ashton acting for him
during his absences.

THE

COMMITTEE

ON

FE.LLOWSHIP

The Committee on Fellowship administers the Henry J. Thouron Memorial
Fund, the Special Fund, the Picture Purchase Fund, and the Mary Butler
