REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
During 1970, the Academy had begun to implement the many changes
instituted under the direction of Mr. William B. Stevens, Jr.
The omission of the Annual and Fellowship shows in the Academy galleries permitted the presentation of smaller, more specialized exhibitions
and, above all, a major renovation of the building in preparation for the
outstanding exhibition, "To Save a Heritage," which opened on November
17 with a magnificent ball, highlighted by the visit of President and Mrs.
Richard Nixon.
A significant selection of works from the Academy's Collection entitled
"Two Hundred Years of American Art" is on tour in the Southern states.
It is scheduled for presentation by six museums in five states and has been
received with appreciation of the Academy's generosity in sharing its collection of American Art.
Another exhibition, "Thomas Eakins-His Photographic Works", has been
on tour since February 1970 and will be shown in eleven museums and
galleries through December 1971. These traveling exhibitions have been
carrying the Academy's name and reputation throughout the country.
An awakened spirit of cooperation with the Philadelphia Museum of Art
became evident toward the close of the year when the Museum presented
an important exhibition of Albrecht Durer prints including more than
twenty items from the large Academy-owned collection now on loan to
the Museum. The Academy-owned prints were clearly identified in the ex;hibition and in the important catalogue.
The first year under the new direction was undertaken with vigor and
rapid implementation of the new ideas. Perhaps the extent and speed of
the change in direction caused problems as well as advantages to become
quickly apparent. As a result of widening differences between the Director
and the Board of Directors, Mr. Stevens was released from his association
with the Academy on November 25, 1970 and Mr. Henry Hotz, Jr., Administrator of the School, was named Acting Director.
During the year, significant changes in personnel occurred. Mr. Robert
Stubbs succeeded Mr. R. H. Speck as Business Manager and Assistant Treasurer in May. In December, Mrs. Marjorie Ruben, former Exhibition Coordinator of the Peale House Galleries, again became associated with the
Academy as an exhibition consultant.
Four artists joined the teaching staff of the Academy's Schools: Mr. Alan
Goldstein, Sculpture and Lithography; Mr. Murray Dessner, Painting; Mr.
Thomas Ewing, Painting; and Mr. Warren Rhoads, Painting. Mr. Robert
Hale has returned after a year's absence and is lecturing on Anatomy.
Mr. Walter Stuempfig, teacher and general critic since 1959, and Mr.
Allen Harris, sculptor and teacher since 1961, died during the year. Both
artists, admired and loved by the students, were devoted friends of the
Academy. Their loss will be severely felt by all.
7
As a result of several meetings, an agreement was reached whereby Academy students may earn their Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Philadelphia College of Art. Attainment of the Academy's four-year certificate
will be recognized as satisfying the studio credit requirements for a fine arts
degree. Academy students, therefore, may complete the degree requirements
by earning their liberal arts credits at the Philadelphia College of Art.
The elimination of women resident quarters in the Peale House and the
rental of a floor at Moore College Roosevelt Hall have proven satisfactory.
The added studio space at the Peale House has been fully utilized.
1970-the one hundred and sixty-fifth year of the Academy-has had its
full share of problems and disturbing changes. There have also been notable
successes and some solutions. We believe the future will be made brighter
because of the experiences and trials of 1970. Devotion to the Academy has
remained strong in the hearts of its friends and this is felt and appreciated
by the entire staff.
HENRY HoTZ, JR.

REPORT ON lVIEMBERSIDP
A membership in the Academy helps to support the oldest art institution in the country. Founded in 1805, its origin dates from the initial
efforts begun in 1791 by Charles Willson Peale to organize a school for
the fine arts in Philadelphia.
The Academy school has trained many distinguished American
painters, sculptors and graphic artists, and today's students rank with
the best.
The Academy's permanent collection, representing a cross-section of
American art from the early eighteenth century through its current
acquisitions, is among the finest in the nation.
Peale House, the Academy annex at 1811 Chestnut Street, serves as
additional studio space for students, and contains two splendid public
galleries for special exhibitions.
Peale Club, located at 1819 Chestnut Street, offers singular privileges
to Life Members as well as Contributing and Professional Artist Members, by providing the ultimate in attractive surroundings for luncheon
and dinner in the spacious dining rooms, with adjoining bar, and in the
lovely outdoor garden and terrace.
Membership Privileges
Annual Memberships
Individual Members ($15) receive notices of all Academy activities (concerts, lectures and motion pictures), invitations to private

SCHOOL
This year the Report of the Administrator is combined with the
Report of the Director.
The culmination of each school year is the exhibition of student work

PUBLIC RELATIONS
The current Public Relations Director assumed her position at the
end of July.
The wide range of interest covered in both the Academy and Peale
House Galleries and the opening of a Sales Gallery has led to a broader
appeal to the general public. Several of the exhibitions have received
local and national television coverage, in afternoon news interviews
and morning children's programs. The openings seem to be wellattended and the public relations office is working closely with the
Women's Committee in planning more interesting refreshments for such
affairs.
President and Mrs. Nixon visited the Academy on November 17 to
open "To Save a Heritage." The Curtis Brass Choir played stately
music with appropriate fanfares as the Presidential Party ascended
the great stairway. The stairway was manned by the First City Troop
in full dress regalia.
Mrs. Nixon unveiled three restored paintings: "First City Troop" by
Carl Becker; "The Choephorae" by Bouguereau and "George Frederick Cooke as Richard III" by Thomas Sully. President Nixon's address cited his concern for the arts and for patronage of the arts. Chairman of the Board John Gribbel presented President and Mrs. Nixon
with two watercolor landscapes by Frank Reid Whiteside. The Heritage
Ball was doubtless one of the most splendid events in the Academy's
history.
Live television coverage of the visit of President and Mrs. Nixon was
tremendously beneficial to the Academy's public image. Radio and television interviews, news releases, publicity photographs and accreditation
for the two hundred reporters and photographers were handled through
the public relations office. Close to one thousand news clippings, along
with photographs, from every state in the country have been filed for
this event.
The Chamber Music Concerts were again held through the generosity of Mrs. John Grier Bartol and Mrs. Alfred Bendiner. These concerts are an invaluable part of the Academy's service to the public, and
plans are already underway for an even finer season in 1971.
One relatively new function of the public relations office is aiding in
arrangements for rental of the Academy's Galleries by various women's
organizations and luncheon meetings. Although such use of the Academy
is not carried out on a large scale, it has been found to foster much general appreciation, as well as add to the Academy's revenues through the
rental fee and several guests who usually subscribe as members after
such occasions.
31
The only notable items in regular publicity routine are the re-emergence of the Academy's QUARTERLY after a year's absence and the
updating of nearly half the press mailing list. The Public Relations Director is extremely grateful to the staff of the Sales Gallery for the important role they play in making the Academy more appealing to the public, and to the research assistant and assistant curator for the splendid
tours they prepare for school groups and women's organizations.
WOMEN'S COMMITTEE
With the advent of a new Director and the Board's decision to forego the Annual, the social aspect of the Women's Committee activities
was somewhat changed during 1970.
The ladies of the Committee served as hostesses at all the Peale Gallery and Broad and Cherry openings. In addition, they presented the
Academy with the flower arrangements made by the Ikebana Society
for Fumio Yoshimura's exhibition. They also contributed the cost of
Mr. Gordon Hendricks' lecture during the exhibition of Eakins' Photography.
Several student parties were sponsored by the Committee during the
past year:
-a tea for Peale House residents and their families and friends last
April
-a "mixer" on the opening day of School in the Peale House Student Gallery (newly-renovated by the Committee using profits
from the dinner in honor of Joseph T. Fraser, Jr.). Hoagies were
served to over 200 faculty and students by members of the
Women's Committee
-two afternoon parties (coffee and danish), to feature the rehangings of the Peale House Student Gallery.
These crowded parties were enjoyed by all, including Mmes. Cooke,
Stimson, Gowen, Wood and Randolph who attended regularly.
The Committee aided several students through loans, scholarships
and grants in the amount of $1,775. A former Academy student returned in full a loan made in 1966. It is indeed gratifying to know that
someone who has been helped wishes to aid in continuing this valuable
program.
Two spring Art Safaris were organized under the inspired guidance
of Mrs. Greenfield. On April 8, ninety-nine people made a second Art
Safari to Washington, a re-run of 1969's greatly over-subscribed trip.
This also was a "super smash"-the weather gorgeous and our patrons
happy. On May 5 there was another trip to New York to visit the Metropolitan Museum and the Cloisters. Again over-subscribed, we limited
this tour to one hundred fourteen.
32
Governor Nelson Rockefeller was unable to join the New York Safari
as planned, so the Committee sponsored a tribute to him-beautifully
bound in book form. The book was presented to the Governor at a
special meeting in New York by Mmes. Greenfield, Townsend and
Theodore Newbold, and Mr. William B. Stevens, Jr.
With income from the Lecture Fund, the Committee arranged to have
Sir Kenneth Clark's magnificent film-lecture series "Civilisation" shown
in the Auditorium throughout the School year. The Committee also
sponsored the artist, Romare Beardon, for a day of lecturing and criticism to the students. A small reception and dinner was given in honor
of Mr. and Mrs. Beardon at the Peale Club the same evening.
The Women's Committee donated the following:
-$5,000 toward renovation of the Academy's vaults
-a prize for the Fairmount Kite Festival
-additions to the Library through the Wainwright Fund
-$500 to the Fellowship
-$500 to Eakins House Restoration (the first gift made outside
the immediate Academy family)
-$500 to the Fellowship by Mrs. James M. R. Sinkler through
the Women's Committee
In addition to serving as hostesses at exhibition openings, some of
the ladies took on special duties. Mrs. George Reath and Mrs. E. Robert
Thomas served on Mr. Francis Gowen's Heritage Ball Committee. Mrs.
Reath culled the extensive guest list and seated the dinner party; Mrs.
Thomas planned and supervised the installation of the outstanding, and
much admired, decorations. Mrs. James M. R. Sinkler contributed generously toward flowers for the Ball tables.
Mrs. John Grier Bartol, an avid supporter of the concert programs,
made a generous contribution, as did Mrs. Alfred Bendiner.
New members elected: Mrs. Avery B. Clark, Mrs. John Gribbel II,
Mrs. Romer Holleran.
Special mention goes to Carol Widing, secretary to the Women's
Committee, and Happy Shipley, P.A.F.A.'s Public Relations Director,
for their able help and enthusiasm. Both affirmed and helped implement the many activities throughout the year.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
During 1970, the Academy had begun to implement the many changes
instituted under the direction of Mr. William B. Stevens, Jr.
The omission of the Annual and Fellowship shows in the Academy galleries permitted the presentation of smaller, more specialized exhibitions
and, above all, a major renovation of the building in preparation for the
outstanding exhibition, "To Save a Heritage," which opened on November
17 with a magnificent ball, highlighted by the visit of President and Mrs.
Richard Nixon.
A significant selection of works from the Academy's Collection entitled
"Two Hundred Years of American Art" is on tour in the Southern states.
It is scheduled for presentation by six museums in five states and has been
received with appreciation of the Academy's generosity in sharing its collection of American Art.
Another exhibition, "Thomas Eakins-His Photographic Works", has been
on tour since February 1970 and will be shown in eleven museums and
galleries through December 1971. These traveling exhibitions have been
carrying the Academy's name and reputation throughout the country.
An awakened spirit of cooperation with the Philadelphia Museum of Art
became evident toward the close of the year when the Museum presented
an important exhibition of Albrecht Durer prints including more than
twenty items from the large Academy-owned collection now on loan to
the Museum. The Academy-owned prints were clearly identified in the ex;hibition and in the important catalogue.
The first year under the new direction was undertaken with vigor and
rapid implementation of the new ideas. Perhaps the extent and speed of
the change in direction caused problems as well as advantages to become
quickly apparent. As a result of widening differences between the Director
and the Board of Directors, Mr. Stevens was released from his association
with the Academy on November 25, 1970 and Mr. Henry Hotz, Jr., Administrator of the School, was named Acting Director.
During the year, significant changes in personnel occurred. Mr. Robert
Stubbs succeeded Mr. R. H. Speck as Business Manager and Assistant Treasurer in May. In December, Mrs. Marjorie Ruben, former Exhibition Coordinator of the Peale House Galleries, again became associated with the
Academy as an exhibition consultant.
Four artists joined the teaching staff of the Academy's Schools: Mr. Alan
Goldstein, Sculpture and Lithography; Mr. Murray Dessner, Painting; Mr.
Thomas Ewing, Painting; and Mr. Warren Rhoads, Painting. Mr. Robert
Hale has returned after a year's absence and is lecturing on Anatomy.
Mr. Walter Stuempfig, teacher and general critic since 1959, and Mr.
Allen Harris, sculptor and teacher since 1961, died during the year. Both
artists, admired and loved by the students, were devoted friends of the
Academy. Their loss will be severely felt by all.
7
As a result of several meetings, an agreement was reached whereby Academy students may earn their Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Philadelphia College of Art. Attainment of the Academy's four-year certificate
will be recognized as satisfying the studio credit requirements for a fine arts
degree. Academy students, therefore, may complete the degree requirements
by earning their liberal arts credits at the Philadelphia College of Art.
The elimination of women resident quarters in the Peale House and the
rental of a floor at Moore College Roosevelt Hall have proven satisfactory.
The added studio space at the Peale House has been fully utilized.
1970-the one hundred and sixty-fifth year of the Academy-has had its
full share of problems and disturbing changes. There have also been notable
successes and some solutions. We believe the future will be made brighter
because of the experiences and trials of 1970. Devotion to the Academy has
remained strong in the hearts of its friends and this is felt and appreciated
by the entire staff.

A membership in the Academy helps to support the oldest art institution in the country. Founded in 1805, its origin dates from the initial
efforts begun in 1791 by Charles Willson Peale to organize a school for
the fine arts in Philadelphia.
The Academy school has trained many distinguished American
painters, sculptors and graphic artists, and today's students rank with
the best.
The Academy's permanent collection, representing a cross-section of
American art from the early eighteenth century through its current
acquisitions, is among the finest in the nation.
Peale House, the Academy annex at 1811 Chestnut Street, serves as
additional studio space for students, and contains two splendid public
galleries for special exhibitions.
Peale Club, located at 1819 Chestnut Street, offers singular privileges
to Life Members as well as Contributing and Professional Artist Members, by providing the ultimate in attractive surroundings for luncheon
and dinner in the spacious dining rooms, with adjoining bar, and in the
lovely outdoor garden and terrace.
Membership Privileges
Annual Memberships

The culmination of each school year is the exhibition of student work
in the Academy galleries in competition for European Travel Scholarships and prizes. Whereas art schools customarily exhibit student work
selected for excellence, this exhibition represents all degrees and stages
of student progress. In the picturesque words of today's youth, it
shows it "like it is."

PUBLIC RELATIONS
The current Public Relations Director assumed her position at the
end of July.
The wide range of interest covered in both the Academy and Peale
House Galleries and the opening of a Sales Gallery has led to a broader
appeal to the general public. Several of the exhibitions have received
local and national television coverage, in afternoon news interviews
and morning children's programs. The openings seem to be wellattended and the public relations office is working closely with the
Women's Committee in planning more interesting refreshments for such
affairs.
President and Mrs. Nixon visited the Academy on November 17 to
open "To Save a Heritage." The Curtis Brass Choir played stately
music with appropriate fanfares as the Presidential Party ascended
the great stairway. The stairway was manned by the First City Troop
in full dress regalia.
Mrs. Nixon unveiled three restored paintings: "First City Troop" by
Carl Becker; "The Choephorae" by Bouguereau and "George Frederick Cooke as Richard III" by Thomas Sully. President Nixon's address cited his concern for the arts and for patronage of the arts. Chairman of the Board John Gribbel presented President and Mrs. Nixon
with two watercolor landscapes by Frank Reid Whiteside. The Heritage
Ball was doubtless one of the most splendid events in the Academy's
history.
Live television coverage of the visit of President and Mrs. Nixon was
tremendously beneficial to the Academy's public image. Radio and television interviews, news releases, publicity photographs and accreditation
for the two hundred reporters and photographers were handled through
the public relations office. Close to one thousand news clippings, along
with photographs, from every state in the country have been filed for
this event.
The Chamber Music Concerts were again held through the generosity of Mrs. John Grier Bartol and Mrs. Alfred Bendiner. These concerts are an invaluable part of the Academy's service to the public, and
plans are already underway for an even finer season in 1971.
One relatively new function of the public relations office is aiding in
arrangements for rental of the Academy's Galleries by various women's
organizations and luncheon meetings. Although such use of the Academy
is not carried out on a large scale, it has been found to foster much general appreciation, as well as add to the Academy's revenues through the
rental fee and several guests who usually subscribe as members after
such occasions.
31
The only notable items in regular publicity routine are the re-emergence of the Academy's QUARTERLY after a year's absence and the
updating of nearly half the press mailing list. The Public Relations Director is extremely grateful to the staff of the Sales Gallery for the important role they play in making the Academy more appealing to the public, and to the research assistant and assistant curator for the splendid
tours they prepare for school groups and women's organizations.
WOMEN'S COMMITTEE
With the advent of a new Director and the Board's decision to forego the Annual, the social aspect of the Women's Committee activities
was somewhat changed during 1970.
The ladies of the Committee served as hostesses at all the Peale Gallery and Broad and Cherry openings. In addition, they presented the
Academy with the flower arrangements made by the Ikebana Society
for Fumio Yoshimura's exhibition. They also contributed the cost of
Mr. Gordon Hendricks' lecture during the exhibition of Eakins' Photography.
Several student parties were sponsored by the Committee during the
past year:
-a tea for Peale House residents and their families and friends last
April
-a "mixer" on the opening day of School in the Peale House Student Gallery (newly-renovated by the Committee using profits
from the dinner in honor of Joseph T. Fraser, Jr.). Hoagies were
served to over 200 faculty and students by members of the
Women's Committee
-two afternoon parties (coffee and danish), to feature the rehangings of the Peale House Student Gallery.
These crowded parties were enjoyed by all, including Mmes. Cooke,
Stimson, Gowen, Wood and Randolph who attended regularly.
The Committee aided several students through loans, scholarships
and grants in the amount of $1,775. A former Academy student returned in full a loan made in 1966. It is indeed gratifying to know that
someone who has been helped wishes to aid in continuing this valuable
program.
Two spring Art Safaris were organized under the inspired guidance
of Mrs. Greenfield. On April 8, ninety-nine people made a second Art
Safari to Washington, a re-run of 1969's greatly over-subscribed trip.
This also was a "super smash"-the weather gorgeous and our patrons
happy. On May 5 there was another trip to New York to visit the Metropolitan Museum and the Cloisters. Again over-subscribed, we limited
this tour to one hundred fourteen.
32
Governor Nelson Rockefeller was unable to join the New York Safari
as planned, so the Committee sponsored a tribute to him-beautifully
bound in book form. The book was presented to the Governor at a
special meeting in New York by Mmes. Greenfield, Townsend and
Theodore Newbold, and Mr. William B. Stevens, Jr.
With income from the Lecture Fund, the Committee arranged to have
Sir Kenneth Clark's magnificent film-lecture series "Civilisation" shown
in the Auditorium throughout the School year. The Committee also
sponsored the artist, Romare Beardon, for a day of lecturing and criticism to the students. A small reception and dinner was given in honor
of Mr. and Mrs. Beardon at the Peale Club the same evening.
The Women's Committee donated the following:
-$5,000 toward renovation of the Academy's vaults
-a prize for the Fairmount Kite Festival
-additions to the Library through the Wainwright Fund
-$500 to the Fellowship
-$500 to Eakins House Restoration (the first gift made outside
the immediate Academy family)
-$500 to the Fellowship by Mrs. James M. R. Sinkler through
the Women's Committee
In addition to serving as hostesses at exhibition openings, some of
the ladies took on special duties. Mrs. George Reath and Mrs. E. Robert
Thomas served on Mr. Francis Gowen's Heritage Ball Committee. Mrs.
Reath culled the extensive guest list and seated the dinner party; Mrs.
Thomas planned and supervised the installation of the outstanding, and
much admired, decorations. Mrs. James M. R. Sinkler contributed generously toward flowers for the Ball tables.
Mrs. John Grier Bartol, an avid supporter of the concert programs,
made a generous contribution, as did Mrs. Alfred Bendiner.
New members elected: Mrs. Avery B. Clark, Mrs. John Gribbel II,
Mrs. Romer Holleran.
Special mention goes to Carol Widing, secretary to the Women's
Committee, and Happy Shipley, P.A.F.A.'s Public Relations Director,
for their able help and enthusiasm. Both affirmed and helped implement the many activities throughout the year.

The function of the Committee is to administer the following funds:
Henry J. Thouron Memorial Fund, Picture Purchase Fund, Special Fund,
and the Mary Butler Memorial Fund for the benefit of Fellowship
members, whether present or former students, and also the William
Clothier Watts Fund for aid to students.
The Committee also endeavors to be useful to both the Fellowship
and the Academy whenever possible. In addition, the Committee is responsible for (1) the Loan Collection, from which works are currently
on exhibition in various institutions, and (2) giving a type of financial
assistance, not permissible from the regular Fellowship treasury, to
current and former Academy students, art workers and Fellowship
members.
