REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
The year past was certainly one of the most significant in the Academy's
recent history. At the midway point, Mr. Joseph Fraser retired after 34 years
of singularly dedicated service, and Mr. William B. Stevens, Jr., assumed the
position of Director. The transfer of administration provided a convenient
period to introduce certain changes in procedure-changes compelled by the
transformation of the economy and the world at large outside the Academy
walls.
Most noticeable of these was the institution of financial planning; in short,
a budget, which for the first time allows long-range planning on an orderly
basis. It is a tool to identify expenditures, outline hoped-for improvements,
and, above all, to set priorities. In operation less than six months, it still
proves painful to the staff, but its necessity, and that of the presence of a
business manager, is undeniable.
The next most visible change is in the modification of the Annual, transforming the effort and expense of that one exhibition into a more varied exhibition program. Artists of the Delaware Valley region will continue to receive
the Academy's support through open shows, but the overwhelming and
unshareable burden of the Annual has been lifted from the Academy's
shoulders. This is particularly important in a day when even a moderate
sized exhibition can cost $20,000. Such soaring costs can be cut down to
realistic proportions by sharing with several other institutions.
The third major change is seen in a much more intensive program of conservation of those works which the Academy is fortunate enough to possess.
The purchase of additional works becomes more expensive every year; hence,
the Academy must protect what it already owns. The most effective protection and the least expensive lies in the construction of modern study vaults.
Vault "A" has been refurbished and equipped with rolling steel racks having
a capacity for 450 oils. A sculpture study vault housing life-sized and other
marble pieces has been installed, bringing works to view that were previously
inaccessible. At least three additional vaults must be similarly equipped to
properly protect our extensive collection. Our Conservator works increasingly just on our own collections. Paintings that have not been examined in
years are being brought out, evaluated and assigned conservation priorities.
The loan requests are being much more severely reviewed. If the future
generations of Americans, not only Philadelphians, are to enjoy the wealth
of the Academy's collection, it falls on our shoulders to see to it that the
paintings, many by artists intimately associated with the Academy, are well
looked after now.
The School continued to be a great attraction for young artists across the
country who apparently still hunger for the basics of their trade, despite the
new trends that ebb and flow about the great brick walls of the Academy.
The new Administrator, Mr. Henry Hotz, has established an affectionate but
"no-nonsense" relationship with the students. Certainly, he has relieved this
office of many daily problems concerning the School, which can count him
among its Cresson winners in earlier times, and among its assets now.

7

Another significant problem facing the new administration is what can only
be termed a lack of national reputation resulting from the limited exhibition
efforts. This very real lack is being gradually corrected as we accelerate the
publishing of scholarly and attractive catalogues; produce sizeable numbers
of post cards, slides; and generally enter the national scene. Under an outward reaching program, we can serve the public in a manner consonant with
our privileged status as a tax-free institution, and continue to fulfill the mission
laid down by the founders of the Academy.
Overall, the Academy's position is becoming more flexible. Financial planning will let the administration know what it can do; conservation of the
collection will let us participate nationally with a clear conscience; thoughtful
publication of what we have been and are still will place our knowledge and
resources at the service of the American public. An increase in service indicates an increase in overall expense, and in the oncoming years we will seek
to broaden our base of support in both commercial and governmental circles.
Hopefully, as our great potential for genuine enjoyment and education becomes known through our efforts at communicating with as broad a spectrum
of people as possible, the justification for increased support will also be
realized.
Finally, I shoUld like to express my personal gratitude to those numerous
persons who have assisted me in the last half year. With their continued
support, the Academy can continue to serve a public eager to see and learn
about American art and artists.

SCHOOLS

Two significant changes affecting the Schools have occurred during 1969:
First, the resignation of Mr. M. Wistar Wood as Administrator of the
schools, after having served in that capacity for seven years, and the
appointment of the present Administrator, who resumes, after an absence
of 27 years, the position which he held from 1938 to 1942;
Second, the withdrawal of the University of Pennsylvania from the Coordinated Program, which has caused the Administration and Faculty to
re-evaluate the purpose and scope of the Academy Schools.

The Academy is one of the few independent professional art schools
where a student who aspires to become a professional artist can spend his
entire time working at his chosen discipline. Both the Faculty and the
Administration feel that this is the strength of the Academy and no
coordinated degree program that weakens this purity of purpose should
be entered into. We are therefore searching for an affiliation that will
assist those students who want to earn a degree in fine arts and at the
.
same time give full credit to their studio work at the Academy.
The Schools have enjoyed full enrollment and our Faculty of artists feel
that there are encouraging signs that much new talent and work of artistic
merit is developing in our student body.
Our staff of artists have continued to serve the Academy Schools except
for the absence of Mr. Robert B. Hale, who is on a year's leave, and the
loss of Mr. Walter Stuempfig for several months due to illness. Dr.
Thomas H. Ainsworth, Jr. has given a series of lectures on Anatomy and
Mr. Marshall Glasier has taught Mr. Stuempfig's class.

27

An active program of visiting artists and lecturers has enlivened the school
year. The creation of a student gallery in the cafeteria at the Peale
House has enabled the students to exhibit and view work done in the
Advanced Studios. An exciting and effective public exhibition of advanced student work of painting and sculpture entitled "Three years
later-what?" was held at the Peale House galleries in October, 1969.
The exhibit comprised 37 works by 25 students and 12 pieces were sold.

PUBLIC RELATIONS

The current Public Relations Director assumed her function at the beginning of September. Since that time the Academy's news media mailing
lists have been expanded to make them more national in scope, and good
working relationships formed with local media personnel.
The Annual Calendar of Events was issued, and the Concert Program
was re-designed and printed. As always, the public relations office was
responsible for news releases, program listings, and publicity related to
both Peale Gallery and Academy exhibitions.
A special news release was sent to schools, clubs and woman's organizations, as well as to a special list of the art department heads of Philadelphia junior and senior high schools, inviting them to visit and make use
of the Academy's Permanent Collection. Also free guided tours by
Academy staff members were offered to groups. The response has been
quite encouraging.

One of the most·exciting projects begun this year was the initiation of a
poster publication program. A Pfofessional, award-winning group was
commissioned to design a poster for the Adam Peiperl exhibition. The
poster was printed and distributed nationally by Poster Prints, the largest
printer and distributor of posters in the world, with a special edition
of 10,000.
Next year, with more time to make long-range plans, the Academy's
involvement with the immediate community will be widened, and the
national coverage will be increased.

WOMEN'S COMMITTEE
The Women's Committee had a most varied and interesting year not only
in support of the Academy events, but in introducing or continuing innovative programs designed to focus public attention on the Academy and
its work, and often to raise funds for special programs.
The 164th Annual Exhibition-"Water Colors, Prints and Drawings"was preceded by a subscription dinner, with Mrs. Francis I. Gowen and
Mrs. Howard H. Lewis a:s co-chairmen. Some two hundred and sixty
people attended this gracious evening at the Academy.
The ladies of the Committee served as hostesses for all the receptionpreviews of the Peale Gallery openings, under the chairmenship of Mrs.
Arthur Kaufmann, Mrs. George Reath and Mrs. James W. Cooke. The
coffee refreshments following the Gallery Talks continued with Mrs.
Boudinot Stimson leading that committee.
The student party for the Academy students and their counterparts in the
other Philadelphia art institutions was held in conjunction with the Angelo
Savelli exhibition at Peale House. Once again, it was a smashing party
with the students providing most of the color, particularly through their
attire, and the Women's Committee supplying refreshments-pudding
(chocolate or vanilla)-and Larry Gold and the Good News for entertainment. The event was crowded and well covered by the press, including
local television. Mrs. Leisenring, Mrs. Cooke and Mrs. Townsend chaired
this event.
The Spring Art Safari took two hundred and thirty-six Philadelphians
to Washington, D.C., aboard a special Penn Central Metroliner. The
tour included the Phillips Collection, the new National Collection of the
Fine Arts, a private tour of the White House and Gardens, the National
Gallery for the special Rembrandt Tercentenary, tea with John Walker,
Director, and a return trip via Metroliner with cocktails aboard! Unhappily, it was greatly over-subscribed with over two hundred reservations
returned, so a re-run was planned for the spring of 1970. It was a most
exciting and rewarding day for the members who attended, and a redletter event for the Women's Committee; it received many accolades and
excellent press.

The fall season was opened with a special cocktail reception to meet the
new director and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. William B. Stevens, Jr., at the
Sandlin-Karp opening at the Peale Gallery, September 17.
It was decided that it would be most appropriate to hold the student party
in the fall this year, in conjunction with the substitution exhibit, "Three
Years Later, What?" Six hundred young artists attended, the Good News
played again, and ice cream cones were served by Mrs. Cooke, Mrs.
Greenfield, Mrs. Randolph and Mrs. Young.
During October, the Women's Committee under the direction of Mrs.
Evan Randolph, entertained with sherry and luncheon (on two separate
days) the visitors from Indianapolis who were on an art tour of Philadelphia. Mrs. John G. Bartol, Jr., again generously sponsored the
Academy Concert Series.
The highlight of the year was unquestionably the elegant reception and
dinner on November 6, honoring Joseph T. Fraser, Jr., for his thirty-five
years of devoted service to the Academy. It was a splendid night, and
the great building at Broad and Cherry glowed with a special beauty.
Hundreds of lighted candles and candelabra, silver bowls filled with red
roses, and a lovely warmth reflected the radiant smiles of Joe and Isabel,
and the more than four hundred of their friends who attended. Mrs.
Evan Randolph, Mrs. E. Robert Thomas, Mrs. Franklin Watkins, and
Mrs. Greenfield headed the committee which planned the gorgeous gala.
Mrs. Herbert S. Morris generously contributed the liquor and wines for
the reception.
The Eichholtz opening followed later in November. The Women's Committee, supported by a contribution from Mrs. James M. R. Sinkler,
gave a tea in honor of Mrs. James H. Beal, the authority on Jacob
Eichholtz. The year closed with receptions for the opening at the Academy
of the Peiperl Exhibit, and at Peale House Galleries, the Will Barnet Show.
This year the Women's Committee was most pleased to be able to financially sponsor the following:
-scholarships for Academy students
. -prize for Fairmount ·Kite Festival
-refrigerator and carpets for school
-$2000 for the Academy Checklist ($1000 gift, $1000 transfer from
dormant docent fund)
-$3000 Esherick contribution (paid March, 1969)
-$500 gift to create Peale House Gallery for student work
-$300 for art books for the Academy Library (Wainwright Fund)
New members elected: Mrs. James W. Cooke, Mrs. Robert O. Fickes,
Mrs. Romer Holleran.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Albert M. Greenfield, Jr.
Chairman, Women's Committee
