THE ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOURTH
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS
1979
Since its founding in 1805, The Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts has been dedicated
to collecting the finest in American Art and
to the education of many of the country's
outstanding artists .
The Academy building is a designated Historic
Landmark; it is a splendid Victorian building
which was a major attraction of the Centennial
celebration in 1876 and houses its galleries and its
school. It was restored to its former glory in 1976
and now stands as the only completely
authentically restored Frank Furness building of
this era in Philadelphia.

REPORT OF
THE PRESIDENT
Art is long, and Time is fleeting ... .
Longfellow, "A Psalm of Life"
This year went so swiftly by that we must stop,
take a deep breath and review some of its
highlights which, in summary, constitute 1979's
contributions to the future. This is the purpose
of our Annual Report.
"The Year of Innovation"
Borrowing from the Chinese, 1979 may well be
classified as 'The Year of Innovation," the base
for which is the oldest art institute in the United
States. In this year, the museum, school, administration and ancillary services started giving
it new directions - positive and creative ones
for the Academy. We have had our great exhibition program supplemented, for example, by
the Morris Gallery exhibitions, a showcase for
new and vital Philadelphia area artists. These
fill an important need for young artists and
have been greatly appreciated by the local art
community. Mrs. John Wintersteen was awarded
the Academy Gold Medal on April 25, 1979, for
eminent service to art and to the Academy.
Contrasting this local and national interest with
that on the international side, the Academy's Gold
Medal was also presented to Robert Motherwell in
December, the first time that a living artist has '
received the Medal in thirteen years .
The Year of Innovation also provided us with
a Membership Coordinator, a necessary position
created by our increasing membership and the
necessary peripheral activities that contribute to
our overall progress and stature. A good
example of this is the Charles Willson Peale
Society, a distinguished group of PAFA
enthusiasts who constitute an innovative
reference group participating in our activities.
There are ninety-three Charles Willson Peale
Society members .
On the financial side , we merged the office of
Treasurer with that of the Finance Committee
and completed our first year of coordinating the
calendar year with our fiscal year. A
monumental fiscal challenge!
Of course, as in the case of most museum
annual reports the financial statement deals only
with the economics of the operation of the
institution . It does not recognize all value of the
art collections.
In the Case of the Pennsylvania Academy there
have been considerable valuable additions to the
collection during the year.
The Jordan Conservation Laboratory continues
to expand, the Peale Club continues to expand its
facilities, the school library has been completed
and the new Photography Laboratory is in full
operation . The Peale Club enjoys peak
membership in its attractive surroundings at
1819 Chestnut Street. Its facilities have been
New Features
Acknowledging the needs of today's students
and the climate in which we live, you will note
in the Dean's Report that the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts has been accredited
by the National Association of Schools of Art.
This will enable us to continue our PAPA
character and image, yet enhance student aid
and other types of grants available to the Academy.
In the tradition of 'The King is dead, long
live the King," we most heartily thank those
Trustees who rotated off our Board; namely,
Daniel W . Dietrich, II, John Gribbel, II, Donald
E. Meads and Bertram L. O'Neill. All of these
Trustees have left lasting contributions as
remembrances of their services.
We are pleased to welcome, on the other
hand, Mrs. Elliott R. Detchon, Jr. , F. Eugene
Dixon, Jr., William L. Grala, Samuel M. V.
Hamilton, Henry F. Harris and Mrs . Meyer P.
Potamkin as new or returning Trustees.

refurbished, the Charles Willson Peale private
dining room was installed and as such is
providing a happy gathering place for those
interested in the American cultural world.
We look forward to 1980 and the many ways
and means of cooperating with the increasing
number of foundations, corporate sponsors,
national , state and municipal organizations, all
of which are demonstrating an increased
appreciation of what the Academy represents .
In this latter case, great examples of our
sponsorship are exemplified by the following:
The Pew Memorial Trust in its support of major
exhibitions, the Sun Company with its interest
in the 1980 Wyeth exhibition, the City of
Philadelphia which contributes to our
scholarship program, the Claneil Foundation's
unrestricted gift, and lastly and most
importantly, the generous financial support that
the Women's Committee donates to the school,
museum and general operations - all this in
addition to their many hours of work on our
various projects.
Speaking for the Board of Trustees, we are
proud of the "Year of Innovation" and deeply
grateful to all of those who made it possible .

REPORT OF
THE DIRECTOR
New Organization
Administrative Changes
The Pennsylvania Academy's first calendar fiscal
year began in January 1979 and during this time
we have continued to work intensively to clean
out the underbrush of the past, to resolve the
problems of past methods of organization and
ways of working in order to get a more precise
picture of the future.
We have come a long way toward getting our
financial house in order so that the Treasurer
and the Finance Committee receive accurate information as to where we stand, and we have
been working on a stronger internal organization to present our programs more effectively .
We are constantly reviewing staff positions and
upgrading the staff from within and without,
particularly in the areas of Administration,
Development, and the School.
Some of the more significant achievements in
1979 include accreditation for the School, a new
and more vital membership department, a
harder-hitting development thrust and a more
efficient administrator's office.
In the administrative area, Harvey Gold has
replaced Robert Stubbs who retired as administrator in April. Harvey has developed new
financial and administrative procedures. One of
his major efforts along with the Director and
the other members of the executive staff has
been the beginning of a personnel manual and a
study of job descriptions. We also embarked on
exterior work on the Broad and Cherry building
as the final stage in its restoration, through the
generosity of the Pew Memorial Trust.
Academy School
Accreditation by the National Association of
Schools of Art has given the School the increased
national recognition it deserves and has provided
our students with more than $100,000 in aid from
the federal government. Richard Ranck was named
Financial Aid Officer, Jill Rupinski was promoted
to Registrar and Blanche Moore was promoted to
Admissions Officer, where a more aggressive
recruitment program has been established. A
special Saturday program in cooperation with the
city school system was instituted and one of the
highlights of the faculty-sponsored exhibition
program in the Peale House was a major
retrospective given to Francis Speight on the eve
of his retirement.
Exhibition Program
Administration and Development are the
supporting areas for the Academy's programs,
one of the most important of which is
exhibitions . In fact, the exhibition program is
the single most important visible and public
indication of the Academy's activities .
Exhibitions for 1979 included 350 Masterpieces
of American Art, which consisted of a new way
of showing the Academy's collection; Artist and
Teacher, an exhibition of work by the
Academy's faculty, curated by the Director; The
Annual Student exhibition; The Private Eye, a
showing of work from private collections in the
New Membership Program
A better organized and more aggressive
membership effort was developed under the
supervision of Mrs. Allan Evans, who came to
the Academy in February as our first full-time
Membership Coordinator. Jodie has instituted a
program of special events for all classes of
membership. Membership is part of the function
of the Department of Development which is
now headed by Elaine Breslow who joined the
Academy in June, following the retirement of AI
Meyers.

Artist and faculty member Will Barnet gives Food for Thought Gallery Talk during
exhibition, Artist and Teacher, curated by Director
area; but the most significant exhibition was
Seven on the Figure, part of an ongoing series
related to our Curator's study of contemporary
American Realism. The Morris Gallery exhibition
program continued to offer exposure and support
to young regional artists .
Special Events and Lectures
There was a great deal of new activity in the
form of events in conjunction with exhibitions.
Our lecture program included Robert C. Alberts
on his book Benjamin West; Philippe de
Montebello, the Director of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art; Lawrence Alloway, historian and
critic, and William Beckman, artist, both on
Seven on the Figure. The Director lectured on
his new book, John Twachtman, and the staff
gave a series of slide talks on Seven on the
Figure. The lecture series was also augmented
this year by a new format given at noon, called
"Food for Thought." The staff and members of
the faculty joined forces on this series. All of
these events were accompanied by increasing
publicity and higher visibility for the Academy.
In conclusion, an outline of the Academy's
goals and objectives was developed by the
Director and Executive Staff in preliminary form
for presentation to the Long-Range Planning
Committee. In the course of studying the
Academy's future plans and programs, it was
interesting to note that important aspects of the
original charter of 1805 are still valid, and the
basic mission of acquiring and exhibiting
American art is very clear.

R E PORT OF
THE CURATOR
Exhibitions
In 1979 the Academy's Museum program
continued to gain stature and recognition for its
achievements. In matters of exhibitions and
their public interpretation, conservation,
acquisitions, policy formulation, internal
organization, public responsiveness and a more
professionally trained staff managing
increasingly difficult museum-related problems,
1979 was a proud year.
Two exhibitions in the 1979 program reflected
upon areas relatively unknown to many of our
visitors: the tangible achievements of those who
teach art and the visible rewards of those who
collect it. Artist and Teacher, organized by the
Academy's Director, Richard Boyle, exhibited
forty-two works by the faculty of the Academy
school. As a reflection of the Academy's
distinctive and vigorous tradition of instruction,
this exhibition also illustrated the variety of
personal interpretations the faculty bring to bear
on that tradition.
The Private Eye: A Salute to Philadelphia
Collectors, an exhibition which graced the
galleries between June and August, brought
together seventy-one works of American art
generously lent to us by fifty Philadelphia
collectors. It was a privilege to have been able
to select and arrange these works from among
the richness that exists in private collections here
and a great satisfaction to be able to share these
works with our public, to whom they are
usually inaccessible.
The major exhibition of contemporary art in
1979, Seven on the Figure, focused on the
diverse perceptions of the human form by seven
American artists. Although not strictly an
exhibition of the realist style, this show was the
second in a series that will culminate in 1981
with a broad survey exhibition of Contemporary
American Realism Since 1960.
The exhibition program at the Academy is
designed to serve the needs of the community
while simultaneously furthering the appreciation
of American art. This past summer thirty-seven
works from the permanent collection were on
loan to the Governor's home in Harrisburg.
Installed in the public rooms of the mansion,
these outstanding examples of American art
were seen by tourists and distinguished visitors,
thus extending the Academy's visual treasury
outside the immediate Philadelphia area. It was
10
our pleasure to be able to cooperate with
Governor and Mrs. Thornburgh and their arts
advisory staff in this temporary exhibition .
The Morris Gallery exhibitions of works by
contemporary Philadelphia artists continue to
move in innovative directions . This past year
featured installations by Cynthia Carlson and
Isaiah Zagar and exhibitions by Arlene Love
and Hitoshi Nakazato. The summer group show
included Maurie Kerrigan, Sid Sachs, John
Ferris, William Walton and Bruce Pollock. We
are grateful to Ann Friedman, Morris Gallery
Coordinator, and to the members of the Morris
Gallery selection committee for their sustained
enthusiasm and efforts in bringing the newest
work of Philadelphia artists to our attention.

Painting and Sculpture Conservation
Acquisitions
Conservation is at the foundation of curatorial
work and, as I've stated in previous reports, a
perpetual museum responsibility. It is also a
particular "art" requiring good and proper tools.
In this respect, the Academy's conservator,
Joseph Amarotico, has again been generously
assisted through the support of Mr. and Mrs.
Bertram L. O'Neill, who this year provided for
the installation of a photographic laboratory to
document and augment the conservation of
paintings in the Academy's collection. Among
the paintings conserved in 1979, The Beggars of
Cordova by Edwin Lord Weeks and Gil Bias
Securing the Cook in the Robber's Cave by
Thomas Sully have not been exhibited at the
Academy in recent memory. Additionally the
Academy's active sculpture conservation
program, initiated last year through a National
Endowment for the Arts grant and supported by
matching funds from Mr. and Mrs. C. Wanton
Balis, Jr., Mrs . Edward C. Cassard, Mr. Samuel
M.V. Hamilton, H.I. Heinz II Charitable and
Family Trust, Mrs. E. Miles Valentine, and the
Jordan/O'Neill Fu~d, continues to revitalize the
Academy's historic American sculpture
collection. In 1979, under the most able
direction of Virginia Naude and her assistants,
Brent Hile and Jennifer Dinsmore, thirty-five
works were conserved including Hero by
William H. Rinehart, Quest by William S.
Kendall and Joseph Wright by William Rush.
Acquisitions for the permanent collection
become historic statements about the generosity
of the donors and the judgment of the curator
in acquiring not only the best contemporary
American art but also in augmenting the
permanent collection. Funds for acquisition at
the Academy are limited; a National
Endowment for the Arts grant of $20,000
allowed the Academy to continue to add
important contemporary works to its collection.
We particularly appreciate the support of the
Mutual Assurance Company, Mrs. H. Gates
Lloyd, Theodore T. Newbold, Marion B.
Stroud, Mrs. John Wintersteen, Philadelphia
National Bank, Jordan/O'Neill Fund and the
Women's Committee of the Pennsylvania
Academy in matching the funds for this grant.
I am also indebted to the members of the
Collections and Exhibitions Committee and its
chairman, Charles E. Mather, III, who review
curatorial recommendations for their continued
interest, guidance and support. This year's
acquisitions are listed on the following pages.

Staff
As always, the museum staff performed their
various duties with complete professionalism.
They are a great credit to the Academy, and
make it possible for the institution to present a
more active and varied museum program . I
would particularly like to acknowledge the
excellent work of Janice Stanland, Registrar,
and her assistant, Melinda McGough; Betsy
Kolowrat and her ever cheerful docents; Roman
Tybinko, Preparator, and his assistants, Jim
Conboy and Susan Kelly; Cathy Stover,
Archivist; and Bob Harmon, Rights and
Reproductions. Also, I am extremely grateful to
my assistant, Betty Romanella, for her excellent
and thoughtful attention to a vast variety of
curatorial responsibilities and daily details.
Finally, I should note that since November the
Academy is most fortunate to have Kathleen A.
Foster as its Assistant Curator. Kathy's presence
at the Academy will help to assure the
excellence of its museum program and the
commitment of the Academy to the best in
American art.

REPORT OF
THE MUSEUM EDUCATION DIRECTOR
Tours
Five thousand visitors were involved in tours of
various kinds during 1979. Appointments for
elementary and high school groups increased
SO %, while the general tour program served
many visitors who came to the Academy
without prior reservations. These statistics are
impressive (we must be offering something of
value or our audience wouldn't continue to
increase), but they are inadequate to describe
the quality of the work being done by PAFA's
twenty-nine volunteer docents .
In fact, every tour given at the Academy is
custom tailored for the particular audience
involved. While the docents command a wealth
of specific information, their skill as
communicators makes an equally vital
contribution. The primary goal of every tour is
to build a bridge for enjoyment between the
observer and the work of art; therefore, each
tour meets the audience at its own level and
develops ideas appropriately. The content of a
tour may be as simple as a description of
pictorial subject matter (as in Penn's Treaty with
the Indians) or as sophisticated as an analysis of
Thomas Eakins's painting technique and a
discussion of reasons why his work was not
well received by nineteenth-century art patrons.
representatives who come in contact with all of
the public, our guards are a vital part of PAFA's
visitor service program.
Disabled Visitors
Extending the Academy's services to disabled
people is another important concern of the
Education Department. Guidelines for assisting
visitors in wheelchairs have successfully been
tested; our signing docent Judy McCarthy is
working to develop tours for deaf audiences;
consultations are being held to prepare a
standard Academy tour for blind visitors. The
Academy has been recognized by both the
Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the
National Endowment for the Arts as a model in
complying with new legislation on accessibility
for the handicapped.
TRIAD School Program
...
Museum lessons for school children differ from
adult tours only in being study related. They
are given at all levels from third grade through
high school. The TRIAD program for schools is
designed especially for classes studying the
American revolution, the late nineteenth
century, or art appreciation . Inquiry teaching
(that's just a new name for the Socratic method)
is used by Academy docents in the school tour
program to encourage students to make
observations and deductions from works of art.
Guards
This year we began a series of regularly
scheduled briefings for Academy guards.
Weekly half-hour sessions (affectionately known
as "school") have included discussions of special
exhibitions, visits to behind-the-scenes
departments, and a lively exchange of
information and comment about happenings at
Broad and Cherry. As the sole Academy

Docent Activities
To maintain their ability to do all kinds of
touring and teaching, docents themselves
constantly need to be refreshed . Briefings for
five special exhibitions, brushups on the
permanent collection, and visits to museums in
Baltimore , Brooklyn, Allentown, Princeton, and
Wilmington were all an important part of the
continuing education of veteran docents in 1979.
This year's thank you from the Academy to
the docents was a luncheon sponsored by the
Women's Committee and arranged by Lucy
Stimson. Honored guests were former Academy
Director Joseph Fraser and Mrs. Fraser, who
enjoyed the occasion so much that they hosted a
tea party for the docents at their home a few
weeks later .

NASA Accreditation
An important event occurred when the Academy
School hosted a reception for the membership of
the National Association of Schools of Art in the
fall of 1979. NASA is the accrediting agency for
the visual arts recognized by the United States
Office of Education. On a visit to the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts in January 1978 its
evaluation team described the Academy School as
"an excellent example of the diversity of American
higher education in that it has charted a qualitative
course distinctly different from the mainstream of
American higher education and has remained a
unique institution."
Accreditation by NASA has allowed the
Academy School and its students to become
eligible for federal and state funds , grants and
loans not available to nonaccredited schools .
Consequently, the financial aid office was able
to facilitate the awarding of an additional
$160,000 in grants and loans to students which
were not available previously. The
establishment of a School financial aid office
necessitated the reorganization of the School
staff for purposes of student support. For the
first time we were able to establish a separate
financial aid office, admissions office and school
registrars office .
1979 Commencement and Awards
"
The 77th Commencement and Awards
Presentation was held in the Academy
auditorium. Vice President Charles E. Mather,
III, gave the opening address. Dr . Donald J.
Irving, Director of the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago, was the principal speaker .
Eleven Traveling Scholarships and forty-one
additional prizes totaling $47,000 were awarded
to students. The Philadelphia Mayor's award
was presented by City Representative Joseph
LaSala to Ock Jin Hyon. The Governor's Award
was presented by Dr. Sandra Featherman to
Koji Kawai.
Cresson Memorial Traveling Scholarships
were presented to Shingo Kamiya, Mark
McCullen, Carol Moller, John Nissen, Uta
Schubert and Harvey Weinreich. First awarded
in 1902, this year's Cresson Scholarships were in
the amount of $3800 each. The prize includes
travel in Europe, followed by another year of
study at the Academy. Cresson Special
Commendations were presented to Edward
Bider, Edgar Jerins, Brigitte Rutenberg and
Holly Silverthorne.
The Lewis S. Ware Memorial Traveling
Scholarships, first awarded in 1938 and this year
in the amount of $2300, was given to Micheline
Van Compernolle .
J. Henry Schiedt Memorial Traveling
Scholarships were awarded to Anne Fleming,
Sarah McEneaney, Michael Moser, and William
Scott. First awarded in 1949, Schiedt
Scholarships were in the amount of $2400 for
1979 and were to be used anytime within
twenty-eight months. Schiedt Special
Commendations were presented to Lisa Fox and
Marguerite Mandes . The Schiedt Scholarships
provide for travel wherever the recipients may
choose .
Academy students from eleven countries and
twenty-seven states were registered in the
School during 1979.
A New Move
The Alumni Office moved to the Peale House
during the fall semester. The Alumni
Coordinator has assumed responsibility for job
placement of students and alumni, as well as for
cooperation with the Fellowship on the Annual
Exhibition, Picnic, Saturday Drawing Class and
School Open House.

Faculty Activities
During 1979, faculty members' work continued
to be commissioned and exhibited all over the
world . Special interest was created by the
selection of instructor Arthur De Costa to paint
the official portrait of Mayor Frank Rizzo of
Philadelphia and by the Mayor's subsequent
visits to the Academy's Peale House to sit in
Arthur's studio. During the fall semester 1979,
the Academy School awarded its first sabbatical
leaves under a Ford Foundation grant to
Roswell Weidner and Ben Kamihira . Also
during the spring of 1979, Mr. Morris
Blackburn, a distinguished member of the
faculty , passed away . A scholarship fund has
been established in his memory.
During the past year, the Board and its
Committees, the Faculty and the Staff have
extended themselves to insure the vitality of the
Pennsylvania Academy as an institution of art
education. As the first art school in the United
States, we look forward to our 175th year with
the confidence born of knowledge of our past.

REPORT OF
THE WOMEN'S COMMITTEE
Activities
Receptions
It is with a great sense of achievement that I can
report on so many diverse activities in which
the Women's Committee has been involved.
The Women's Committee has been an integral
segment of the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts this past year and every member has
taken an active part in at least one project. The
cooperation, which has been most rewarding,
has resulted in making this one of the most
stimulating periods for the Committee.
For the first six-month period of 1979, Mrs .
George Reath served as President of the
Committee with much dedication and success .
On July 15, The Women's Committee
organized a bus trip to attend the reception at
the Governor's Mansion in Harrisburg to meet
Governor and Mrs . Richard Thornburgh and to
see thirty-five of the Academy's paintings on
loan there for the summer. Included in the
group were several faculty and staff members.
Among the important cultural attractions
offered to Academy members were the four
concerts held during the year in the Auditorium
at Broad and Cherry, under the direction of
Mrs . Robert W . Preucel. The Women's
Committee contributed $500 this year to this
series.
The receptior\s hosted by our Committee are
always enjoyable and among those at the
Academy in 1979 were the autograph party in
January for Robert Alberts, author of Benjamin
West; the party, also in January, at the opening
of the David J. Grossman Bequest Exhibition:
and the reception in March to welcome to the
art community Miss Jean Sutherland Boggs, new
Director of the Philadelphia Art Museum. We
were also happy to participate in April in the
first school "Open House" for parents and
friends of students .
It was our pleasant privilege to honor the
docents of the Academy at a catered luncheon
under the supervision of Mrs. Boudinot Stimson
on June 7. It was attended by over forty people
and a special treat was hearing Joseph T. Fraser
speak about his days as a former Academy
director.
Officers
In May, when I assumed the Presidency, the
following officers were elected:
Mrs. Nelson J. Leidner, President
Mrs. L. Talbot Adamson, First Vice President
Mrs. Robert W. Preucel. Second Vice
President
Mrs. Alexandra M. Dial. Treasurer
Mrs. Brandon Barringer, Corresponding
Secretary
Mrs . Herbert F. Schiffer, Member at Large
Mrs . James W. Cooke, Member at Large
Mrs . George Reath, Ex-Officio
We initiated a new program of inviting
various members from the Academy
administrative staff to speak at our meetings to
explain their work to us.
School
One of the principal thrusts of the Committee's
interests and financial aid is in the area of
the students of the School. To this end, in
1979 we provided $14,400 to the School for
students' needs. Also, in connection with each
monthly opening of students' exhibitions at the
Peale House, the Women's Committee hosts a
luncheon which is usually attended by 250
students and representatives of the faculty . This
makes for a sense of camaraderie which the
students thoroughly enjoy . Mmes . Harleston R.
Wood, Evan Randolph, Arthur C. Kaufmann ,
Avery B. Clark, Marcy W. Behr, Richard J. Fox
and Hans Ludvig Lorentzen have served at these
luncheons, which are so imaginatively
supervised by Mr. James Lulius, Superintendent
of Peale House .

calendar, "Seasons in Art," with Mrs. Susan

Committee members who were so dedicated to
this project.
Fairmont Gala
In connection with other galleries in Peale
House, the Women's Committee also allocated
$3,000 this year for "Education through Exhibitions
for Students ."
The Gala Dinner and Ball at the Fairmont
Hotel in November, which was attended by
1200 people, was our major event in 1979. Not
21
only was it a stellar social gala but also a major
fund-raising project from which we were able to
realize $40,000 for the Academy . Virtually the
entire Women's Committee, under the leadership
of the Ball Co-Chairmen, Mrs. Albert M.
Greenfield, Jr. , and Mrs. George Reath,
contributed toward the Ball's success. Special
mention must be made of the efforts made by
Mrs. Harleston R. Wood, Chairman of the
Junior Gala, as well as other members of the Ball
Committee: Mmes. James W . Cooke, Newlin F.
Davis, J. H. Ward Hinkson, E. Robert Thomas,
John H. Gribbel, II, Jack M. Enoch, Jr.,
Alexandra M. Dial, Alan McIlvain, Frederick
W. G. Peck, Susan W. West and Lathrop B.
Nelson, Jr.
Our Safaris, under the direction of Mrs.
Greenfield and assisted by Mrs . Reath, have
proven to be our most popular and successful
source of revenue and have gained many new
friends for the Academy throughout the country .
In January of 1979 an art Safari to New York
to see the Treasures of King Tut was very
successful, as was the Safari to New Orleans
under the aegis of Mrs. Adamson.
Other Safari highlights included the
Washington day trip in May when a group of
100 was entertained by Clement E. Conger,
Curator at the White House, and always a
friend of the Academy. He arranged a
fascinating day with a visit to the White House
to see paintings on loan from our Academy
hanging in the private quarters, a special
luncheon in the State Department reception
room and a visit to Vice President Mondale's
House.
The Private Eye Safari, led in June by Mrs .
Herbert F. Schiffer, to visit private collections
on the Main Line and in Chester County was a
great success with two busloads of men and
women touring the homes all day and then
ending up at Broad and Cherry for the preview
opening of the great exhibition of art works
loaned by private collectors.
International attention was focused on the
Academy in July by the China Safari when the
group visiting China had the opportunity to
meet distinguished Chinese artists and cultural
figures . These visits were reported widely in the
press.
Under Mrs. John Clark Keene's supervision,
Christmas at the Academy was very festive

Santa comes to the Academy
because the Women's Committee invited the
entire membership to a beautiful party on
December 16. The children were enchanted with
the clowns, puppets and small toys and the 400
guests were served refreshments against a
background of beautiful decorations and choral
singing.
We are very happy to report that through the
efforts of two of our members, a baby-grand
piano was donated to the Academy. We are
most grateful for this gift.
Our Committee is taking a very active role,
along with four other Philadelphia museums'
Women's Committees, in sponsoring the
American Association of Museum Trustees
Conference to be held in Philadelphia October
2, 3, 4 in 1980.
We expect to continue our Safaris to exciting
cities and exhibitions this coming year as well as
to sponsor several social events for the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
On our drawing board, we have sketched in
numerous other plans to assist the Academy in
future celebrations, exhibitions, student aid
programs, etc. ; and as the year progresses, the
Women's Committee will make even bolder
brush strokes to complete our canvas.
To each of these dedicated women and the
members of the Academy who are so loyal in
supporting our Women's Committee functions,
I wish to extend my sincere thanks .

REPORT OF
THE DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT
The Department of Development has made
considerable strides in the name of the
Academy. Progress, growth and change have
been its keynotes.
Two successful direct mail campaigns in the
last year plus a contributing membership drive
added 1000 new members to the Academy
family. At year-end 1979, membership reached
3200, and is growing. This is an all-time high.
Support Doubles
The number of corporations and foundations
contributing to the Academy's support has
doubled. In 1979, eighty-one proposals were
submitted to a variety of potential funding
sources. The Academy received funds from
seventy-six of them.
The Charles Willson Peale Society
The Charles Willson Peale Society, a special
category of membership, is now in its second
year. The activities planned have had a striking
impact on the enrollment, which reached a firstyear high of ninety-three.
A New Program for Business
To encourage businesses to contribute by giving
them something of value in exchange for their
support, the Academy began a Business
Partnership program in 1979. Admission tickets
to company personnel and immediate families
for use any time during the year, specially
designated company evenings, memberships for
personnel and evening art classes for employees
are among the benefits offered in exchange for
corporate support. In this first year of the
program, forty-one companies took advantage
of this arrangement and became "business
partners."
A New Program for Commemorative
Opportunities
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has
established a formal program to promote
Commemorative Opportunities. This enables
individuals, corporations and foundations to
make lasting gifts by dedicating space in the
building at Broad and Cherry Streets. A
brochure was produced to promote this method
of giving.
A New Membership Program
A new position was established, that of
Membership Coordinator, thus enabling the
Academy to create new and vital membership
programs. Membership evenings were
inaugurated with the exhibition Seven on the
Figure. Subscription dinners and cooperative
activities with other cultural institutions marked
an innovative Membership Program. More than
twenty-five Volunteers for Membership
provided valuable assistance at many of the
special events.

Public Information
The Public Relations Department continued in
its objective to increase community, regional,
and national awareness of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts. Aggressive
publication and distribution of a variety of
informative brochures and a new format for the
newsletter as well as increased media contact
have formed an important part of this effort.
One dramatic result has been an increase of
attendance by more than one-third over 1978.
The ability to have achieved so much in one
year is directly due to a very fine staff who
have worked so hard. In their unique fashions ,
they fused their talents to support the
Department's work and the programs of the
Academy. Jodie Evans, Membership
Coordinator, and Anna Mang, Membership
Secretary; Susan Rappaport, Public Information
Officer and Mary Hall, Assistant to the
Development Director, deserve my deep and
sincere appreciation for their drive, their strength
and the volume of work they handled . Many of
their activities were accomplished for the first
time ever at the Academy. The Development
Director would also like to express a personal
sense of gratitude to the Development Committee
of the Board of Trustees for their hours of time
and for their complete support of our many
innovations .

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of
The Administrator
The Academy's financial statements which are
shown herein reflect an excess of $266,726 of expenses over support and revenue after capital
transactions . This excess was caused chiefly by a
shortfall in anticipated revenue . Substantial
increases in investment income were not
sufficient to overcome the effect of unrestricted
gifts and grants from governmental, business
and foundation sources which proved to be less
than anticipated.
Generally speaking, the Academy continues
to be the grateful recipient ·of generous support
restricted to specific projects vital to its
continued existence. However, in the equally
vital, albeit unglamorous area of mundane
operational expenditures of labor costs, utilities
bills, etc ., the Academy finds it increasingly
difficult to obtain adequate funding. In this
area, we are cautiously optimistic that our
recently reorganized Development Department
will succeed in substantially improving our track
record by increasing our unrestricted revenue.
All in all, the Academy, along with many of
its sister institutions across the country, finds
itself caught in an inflationary spiral where a
combination of rising expenses and falling
interest rates on its investment portfolio must be
matched by increasing donor support if it is to
avoid deficit spending and thus remain a viable
institution in the years ahead .
In our opinion, the accompanying financial
statements present fairly the financial position of
the Academy as of December 31, 1979, and the
results of its operations and changes in its
financial position for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that
of the preceding year.
Our examination also comprehended the
accompanying supplemental schedule of
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1979.
In our opinion, such supplemental schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial
statements,presents fairly in all material respects the
information shown therein.

See notes to financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements of the
Academy have been prepared on the accrual
basis. The significant accounting policies
followed are described below to enhance the
usefulness of the financial statements to the
reader.
Fund Accounting
To ensure the observance of limitations and
restrictions placed on the use of resources
available to the Academy, its accounts are
maintained in accordance with fund accounting .
Under these principles resources for various
purposes are classified for accounting and
reporting purposes into funds established
according to their nature and purposes. Separate
accounts are maintained for each fund ;
however, in the accompanying financial
statements, funds having similar characteristics
have been combined into fund groups.
Accordingly, all financial transactions have been
recorded and reported by fund groups .
The assets, liabilities, and fund balances of
the Academy are reported in three self-balancing
fund groups as follows:
- Operating funds, which include unrestricted
arid restricted resources, represent that
portion of the Academy's expendable funds
available for support of the Academy's
operations.
- Plant funds represent resources expended or
restricted for acquisitions of property, plant ,
and equipment.
- Endowment funds represent funds subject to
restrictions of gift instruments requiring that
for specified amounts of time or in perpetuity
the principal be invested and only income be
used.
Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of first-in,
first-out cost or market.
Deferred Exhibition Expenses
Exhibition expenses are deferred and amortized
on a straight-line basis over the life of the
exhibit.
30
Investments
Investments in marketable equity securities are
carried at the aggregate lower of cost or market.
Investments in bonds and other debt
instruments such as U.S. Treasury notes are
carried at cost. Real estate held for investment is
carried at cost.
Property
Property purchased is recorded at cost. Property
donated is recorded at fair value at date of
donation. Depreciation is provided on a
straight-line basis over the lives of the respective
fixed assets.
Unrestricted Gifts and Grants
Unrestricted gifts and grants are recorded as
revenue of the operating fund in the period
specified by the donor.
Memberships
Memberships are recognized as revenue when
payment is received.
Unexpended Restricted Contributions
Contributions to the Operating and Plant Funds
when restricted by the donor are recorded as
revenue or capital additions to the extent
expenses have been incurred for the purposes
specified by the donor.
Art Collection
In conformity with the practice followed by
many museums, art objects purchased and
donated are not included in the balance sheet.
Gifts of cash or other property donated for
the purpose of acquiring art work are classified
as unexpended restricted revenue until
acquisitions are made. The cost of all art objects
purchased or acquired by gift, less proceeds
from de accessions of art objects, is reported in
the statement of activity as a separate program
expense.
Functional Expense Allocations
Expenses of various program and other activities
have been summarized on a functional basis in
the statement of activity. Accordingly, certain
expenses have been allocated among the
programs and supporting services.
Capital Additions
Amounts classified as capital additions in the
statement of activity represent gifts, grants or
bequests restricted by the donor to Endowment
or Plant Funds either permanently or for a
period of time. Capital additions also include
investment income and gains or losses on
investments that must, due to donor or legal
restrictions, be added to or deducted from
principal.
2. Investments

5. Retirement Plan
On May 10, 1965, the Academy established
an informal Retirement Plan (as amended
September 15, 1971). Under this plan the
Academy had accounted for pension costs by
charging expense as amounts were paid to
retirees. Subsequent to December 31, 1978,
the Academy determined that the informal
Retirement Plan (informal Plan) was not in
accordance with the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Accordingly, on May 16, 1979, the Board
adopted a resolution which rescinded the
informal Plan and established a limited
Retirement Plan (limited Plan) effective
June 1, 1979. The limited Plan covers certain
retired employees and four other employees
and provides for retirement payments on the
same basis as the informal Plan .
Based on the date of the latest actuarial
evaluation, January 1, 1979, the present
value of future benefits payable was
approximately $340,000. Retirement expense
(including actuarial adjustment of present
value) for the year ended December 31, 1979
was $64,537.
6. Deferred Revenue - Restricted
Contributions
The following is a summary of the change in
deferred restricted contributions of the
Operating and Plant Funds for the year
ended December 31, 1979 :
Operating Plant

Deduct - Expenditures
Balance,
December 31,1979 . .. . $715,599 $157,313
7. Agency
The Academy is acting as afl'CAgent for a
federal Basic Educational Opportunity Grant
(BEOG). An authorization in the amount of
$112,806 was approved to the Academy
during 1979. This amount is to be used over
two terms, fall term 1979 and spring term
1980. Payments are made to those students
who have successfully completed an
32
eligibility report with approval from BEOG
authorities. The balance of the grant
remaining, $58,114, represents funds reserved
for the spring term of 1980.
8. Reclassification of Certain Endowment Funds
During 1979 the Academy's Board had its
legal counsel make a review of documents
related to endowments to more precisely
determine the continued applicability of
endowment restrictions. This review resulted
in the Academy reclassifying funds with
Board-imposed restrictions and / or obsolete
donor restrictions as unrestricted funds. The
total amount of funds reclassified as a result
of this review was $1,151,682 . Of this
amount, $912,881 was used to repay
amounts owed to the Endowment Fund by
the Operating Fund as a result of past
borrowings. At December 31, 1979, the
remaining funds ($238,801) are included in
the Operating Fund as unrestricted
investments.
9. Administration Expenses
Certain expenses, such as payroll, insurance,
retirement, security, etc ., are classified in
administration expenses on a responsibility
basis rather than allocated to program
expenses and supporting services on a
functional basis.

OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS
1979
Since its founding in 1805, The Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts has been dedicated
to collecting the finest in American Art and
to the education of many of the country's
outstanding artists .
The Academy building is a designated Historic
Landmark; it is a splendid Victorian building
which was a major attraction of the Centennial
celebration in 1876 and houses its galleries and its
school. It was restored to its former glory in 1976
and now stands as the only completely
authentically restored Frank Furness building of
this era in Philadelphia.

REPORT OF
THE PRESIDENT
Art is long, and Time is fleeting ... .
Longfellow, "A Psalm of Life"
This year went so swiftly by that we must stop,
take a deep breath and review some of its
highlights which, in summary, constitute 1979's
contributions to the future. This is the purpose
of our Annual Report.
"The Year of Innovation"
Borrowing from the Chinese, 1979 may well be
classified as 'The Year of Innovation," the base
for which is the oldest art institute in the United
States. In this year, the museum, school, administration and ancillary services started giving
it new directions - positive and creative ones
for the Academy. We have had our great exhibition program supplemented, for example, by
the Morris Gallery exhibitions, a showcase for
new and vital Philadelphia area artists. These
fill an important need for young artists and
have been greatly appreciated by the local art
community. Mrs. John Wintersteen was awarded
the Academy Gold Medal on April 25, 1979, for
eminent service to art and to the Academy.
Contrasting this local and national interest with
that on the international side, the Academy's Gold
Medal was also presented to Robert Motherwell in
December, the first time that a living artist has '
received the Medal in thirteen years .
The Year of Innovation also provided us with
a Membership Coordinator, a necessary position
created by our increasing membership and the
necessary peripheral activities that contribute to
our overall progress and stature. A good
example of this is the Charles Willson Peale
Society, a distinguished group of PAFA
enthusiasts who constitute an innovative
reference group participating in our activities.
There are ninety-three Charles Willson Peale
Society members .
On the financial side , we merged the office of
Treasurer with that of the Finance Committee
and completed our first year of coordinating the
calendar year with our fiscal year. A
monumental fiscal challenge!
Of course, as in the case of most museum
annual reports the financial statement deals only
with the economics of the operation of the
institution . It does not recognize all value of the
art collections.
In the Case of the Pennsylvania Academy there
have been considerable valuable additions to the
collection during the year.
The Jordan Conservation Laboratory continues
to expand, the Peale Club continues to expand its
facilities, the school library has been completed
and the new Photography Laboratory is in full
operation . The Peale Club enjoys peak
membership in its attractive surroundings at
1819 Chestnut Street. Its facilities have been
New Features
Acknowledging the needs of today's students
and the climate in which we live, you will note
in the Dean's Report that the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts has been accredited
by the National Association of Schools of Art.
This will enable us to continue our PAPA
character and image, yet enhance student aid
and other types of grants available to the Academy.
In the tradition of 'The King is dead, long
live the King," we most heartily thank those
Trustees who rotated off our Board; namely,
Daniel W . Dietrich, II, John Gribbel, II, Donald
E. Meads and Bertram L. O'Neill. All of these
Trustees have left lasting contributions as
remembrances of their services.
We are pleased to welcome, on the other
hand, Mrs. Elliott R. Detchon, Jr. , F. Eugene
Dixon, Jr., William L. Grala, Samuel M. V.
Hamilton, Henry F. Harris and Mrs . Meyer P.
Potamkin as new or returning Trustees.

refurbished, the Charles Willson Peale private
dining room was installed and as such is
providing a happy gathering place for those
interested in the American cultural world.
We look forward to 1980 and the many ways
and means of cooperating with the increasing
number of foundations, corporate sponsors,
national , state and municipal organizations, all
of which are demonstrating an increased
appreciation of what the Academy represents .
In this latter case, great examples of our
sponsorship are exemplified by the following:
The Pew Memorial Trust in its support of major
exhibitions, the Sun Company with its interest
in the 1980 Wyeth exhibition, the City of
Philadelphia which contributes to our
scholarship program, the Claneil Foundation's
unrestricted gift, and lastly and most
importantly, the generous financial support that
the Women's Committee donates to the school,
museum and general operations - all this in
addition to their many hours of work on our
various projects.
Speaking for the Board of Trustees, we are
proud of the "Year of Innovation" and deeply
grateful to all of those who made it possible .

REPORT OF
THE DIRECTOR
New Organization
Administrative Changes
The Pennsylvania Academy's first calendar fiscal
year began in January 1979 and during this time
we have continued to work intensively to clean
out the underbrush of the past, to resolve the
problems of past methods of organization and
ways of working in order to get a more precise
picture of the future.
We have come a long way toward getting our
financial house in order so that the Treasurer
and the Finance Committee receive accurate information as to where we stand, and we have
been working on a stronger internal organization to present our programs more effectively .
We are constantly reviewing staff positions and
upgrading the staff from within and without,
particularly in the areas of Administration,
Development, and the School.
Some of the more significant achievements in
1979 include accreditation for the School, a new
and more vital membership department, a
harder-hitting development thrust and a more
efficient administrator's office.
In the administrative area, Harvey Gold has
replaced Robert Stubbs who retired as administrator in April. Harvey has developed new
financial and administrative procedures. One of
his major efforts along with the Director and
the other members of the executive staff has
been the beginning of a personnel manual and a
study of job descriptions. We also embarked on
exterior work on the Broad and Cherry building
as the final stage in its restoration, through the
generosity of the Pew Memorial Trust.
Academy School
Accreditation by the National Association of
Schools of Art has given the School the increased
national recognition it deserves and has provided
our students with more than $100,000 in aid from
the federal government. Richard Ranck was named
Financial Aid Officer, Jill Rupinski was promoted
to Registrar and Blanche Moore was promoted to
Admissions Officer, where a more aggressive
recruitment program has been established. A
special Saturday program in cooperation with the
city school system was instituted and one of the
highlights of the faculty-sponsored exhibition
program in the Peale House was a major
retrospective given to Francis Speight on the eve
of his retirement.
Exhibition Program
Administration and Development are the
supporting areas for the Academy's programs,
one of the most important of which is
exhibitions . In fact, the exhibition program is
the single most important visible and public
indication of the Academy's activities .
Exhibitions for 1979 included 350 Masterpieces
of American Art, which consisted of a new way
of showing the Academy's collection; Artist and
Teacher, an exhibition of work by the
Academy's faculty, curated by the Director; The
Annual Student exhibition; The Private Eye, a
showing of work from private collections in the
New Membership Program
A better organized and more aggressive
membership effort was developed under the
supervision of Mrs. Allan Evans, who came to
the Academy in February as our first full-time
Membership Coordinator. Jodie has instituted a
program of special events for all classes of
membership. Membership is part of the function
of the Department of Development which is
now headed by Elaine Breslow who joined the
Academy in June, following the retirement of AI
Meyers.

Artist and faculty member Will Barnet gives Food for Thought Gallery Talk during
exhibition, Artist and Teacher, curated by Director
area; but the most significant exhibition was
Seven on the Figure, part of an ongoing series
related to our Curator's study of contemporary
American Realism. The Morris Gallery exhibition
program continued to offer exposure and support
to young regional artists .
Special Events and Lectures
There was a great deal of new activity in the
form of events in conjunction with exhibitions.
Our lecture program included Robert C. Alberts
on his book Benjamin West; Philippe de
Montebello, the Director of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art; Lawrence Alloway, historian and
critic, and William Beckman, artist, both on
Seven on the Figure. The Director lectured on
his new book, John Twachtman, and the staff
gave a series of slide talks on Seven on the
Figure. The lecture series was also augmented
this year by a new format given at noon, called
"Food for Thought." The staff and members of
the faculty joined forces on this series. All of
these events were accompanied by increasing
publicity and higher visibility for the Academy.
In conclusion, an outline of the Academy's
goals and objectives was developed by the
Director and Executive Staff in preliminary form
for presentation to the Long-Range Planning
Committee. In the course of studying the
Academy's future plans and programs, it was
interesting to note that important aspects of the
original charter of 1805 are still valid, and the
basic mission of acquiring and exhibiting
American art is very clear.

R E PORT OF
THE CURATOR
Exhibitions
In 1979 the Academy's Museum program
continued to gain stature and recognition for its
achievements. In matters of exhibitions and
their public interpretation, conservation,
acquisitions, policy formulation, internal
organization, public responsiveness and a more
professionally trained staff managing
increasingly difficult museum-related problems,
1979 was a proud year.
Two exhibitions in the 1979 program reflected
upon areas relatively unknown to many of our
visitors: the tangible achievements of those who
teach art and the visible rewards of those who
collect it. Artist and Teacher, organized by the
Academy's Director, Richard Boyle, exhibited
forty-two works by the faculty of the Academy
school. As a reflection of the Academy's
distinctive and vigorous tradition of instruction,
this exhibition also illustrated the variety of
personal interpretations the faculty bring to bear
on that tradition.
The Private Eye: A Salute to Philadelphia
Collectors, an exhibition which graced the
galleries between June and August, brought
together seventy-one works of American art
generously lent to us by fifty Philadelphia
collectors. It was a privilege to have been able
to select and arrange these works from among
the richness that exists in private collections here
and a great satisfaction to be able to share these
works with our public, to whom they are
usually inaccessible.
The major exhibition of contemporary art in
1979, Seven on the Figure, focused on the
diverse perceptions of the human form by seven
American artists. Although not strictly an
exhibition of the realist style, this show was the
second in a series that will culminate in 1981
with a broad survey exhibition of Contemporary
American Realism Since 1960.
The exhibition program at the Academy is
designed to serve the needs of the community
while simultaneously furthering the appreciation
of American art. This past summer thirty-seven
works from the permanent collection were on
loan to the Governor's home in Harrisburg.
Installed in the public rooms of the mansion,
these outstanding examples of American art
were seen by tourists and distinguished visitors,
thus extending the Academy's visual treasury
outside the immediate Philadelphia area. It was
10
our pleasure to be able to cooperate with
Governor and Mrs. Thornburgh and their arts
advisory staff in this temporary exhibition .
The Morris Gallery exhibitions of works by
contemporary Philadelphia artists continue to
move in innovative directions . This past year
featured installations by Cynthia Carlson and
Isaiah Zagar and exhibitions by Arlene Love
and Hitoshi Nakazato. The summer group show
included Maurie Kerrigan, Sid Sachs, John
Ferris, William Walton and Bruce Pollock. We
are grateful to Ann Friedman, Morris Gallery
Coordinator, and to the members of the Morris
Gallery selection committee for their sustained
enthusiasm and efforts in bringing the newest
work of Philadelphia artists to our attention.

Painting and Sculpture Conservation
Acquisitions
Conservation is at the foundation of curatorial
work and, as I've stated in previous reports, a
perpetual museum responsibility. It is also a
particular "art" requiring good and proper tools.
In this respect, the Academy's conservator,
Joseph Amarotico, has again been generously
assisted through the support of Mr. and Mrs.
Bertram L. O'Neill, who this year provided for
the installation of a photographic laboratory to
document and augment the conservation of
paintings in the Academy's collection. Among
the paintings conserved in 1979, The Beggars of
Cordova by Edwin Lord Weeks and Gil Bias
Securing the Cook in the Robber's Cave by
Thomas Sully have not been exhibited at the
Academy in recent memory. Additionally the
Academy's active sculpture conservation
program, initiated last year through a National
Endowment for the Arts grant and supported by
matching funds from Mr. and Mrs. C. Wanton
Balis, Jr., Mrs . Edward C. Cassard, Mr. Samuel
M.V. Hamilton, H.I. Heinz II Charitable and
Family Trust, Mrs. E. Miles Valentine, and the
Jordan/O'Neill Fu~d, continues to revitalize the
Academy's historic American sculpture
collection. In 1979, under the most able
direction of Virginia Naude and her assistants,
Brent Hile and Jennifer Dinsmore, thirty-five
works were conserved including Hero by
William H. Rinehart, Quest by William S.
Kendall and Joseph Wright by William Rush.
Acquisitions for the permanent collection
become historic statements about the generosity
of the donors and the judgment of the curator
in acquiring not only the best contemporary
American art but also in augmenting the
permanent collection. Funds for acquisition at
the Academy are limited; a National
Endowment for the Arts grant of $20,000
allowed the Academy to continue to add
important contemporary works to its collection.
We particularly appreciate the support of the
Mutual Assurance Company, Mrs. H. Gates
Lloyd, Theodore T. Newbold, Marion B.
Stroud, Mrs. John Wintersteen, Philadelphia
National Bank, Jordan/O'Neill Fund and the
Women's Committee of the Pennsylvania
Academy in matching the funds for this grant.
I am also indebted to the members of the
Collections and Exhibitions Committee and its
chairman, Charles E. Mather, III, who review
curatorial recommendations for their continued
interest, guidance and support. This year's
acquisitions are listed on the following pages.

Staff
As always, the museum staff performed their
various duties with complete professionalism.
They are a great credit to the Academy, and
make it possible for the institution to present a
more active and varied museum program . I
would particularly like to acknowledge the
excellent work of Janice Stanland, Registrar,
and her assistant, Melinda McGough; Betsy
Kolowrat and her ever cheerful docents; Roman
Tybinko, Preparator, and his assistants, Jim
Conboy and Susan Kelly; Cathy Stover,
Archivist; and Bob Harmon, Rights and
Reproductions. Also, I am extremely grateful to
my assistant, Betty Romanella, for her excellent
and thoughtful attention to a vast variety of
curatorial responsibilities and daily details.
Finally, I should note that since November the
Academy is most fortunate to have Kathleen A.
Foster as its Assistant Curator. Kathy's presence
at the Academy will help to assure the
excellence of its museum program and the
commitment of the Academy to the best in
American art.

REPORT OF
THE MUSEUM EDUCATION DIRECTOR
Tours
Five thousand visitors were involved in tours of
various kinds during 1979. Appointments for
elementary and high school groups increased
SO %, while the general tour program served
many visitors who came to the Academy
without prior reservations. These statistics are
impressive (we must be offering something of
value or our audience wouldn't continue to
increase), but they are inadequate to describe
the quality of the work being done by PAFA's
twenty-nine volunteer docents .
In fact, every tour given at the Academy is
custom tailored for the particular audience
involved. While the docents command a wealth
of specific information, their skill as
communicators makes an equally vital
contribution. The primary goal of every tour is
to build a bridge for enjoyment between the
observer and the work of art; therefore, each
tour meets the audience at its own level and
develops ideas appropriately. The content of a
tour may be as simple as a description of
pictorial subject matter (as in Penn's Treaty with
the Indians) or as sophisticated as an analysis of
Thomas Eakins's painting technique and a
discussion of reasons why his work was not
well received by nineteenth-century art patrons.
representatives who come in contact with all of
the public, our guards are a vital part of PAFA's
visitor service program.
Disabled Visitors
Extending the Academy's services to disabled
people is another important concern of the
Education Department. Guidelines for assisting
visitors in wheelchairs have successfully been
tested; our signing docent Judy McCarthy is
working to develop tours for deaf audiences;
consultations are being held to prepare a
standard Academy tour for blind visitors. The
Academy has been recognized by both the
Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the
National Endowment for the Arts as a model in
complying with new legislation on accessibility
for the handicapped.
TRIAD School Program
...
Museum lessons for school children differ from
adult tours only in being study related. They
are given at all levels from third grade through
high school. The TRIAD program for schools is
designed especially for classes studying the
American revolution, the late nineteenth
century, or art appreciation . Inquiry teaching
(that's just a new name for the Socratic method)
is used by Academy docents in the school tour
program to encourage students to make
observations and deductions from works of art.
Guards
This year we began a series of regularly
scheduled briefings for Academy guards.
Weekly half-hour sessions (affectionately known
as "school") have included discussions of special
exhibitions, visits to behind-the-scenes
departments, and a lively exchange of
information and comment about happenings at
Broad and Cherry. As the sole Academy

Docent Activities
To maintain their ability to do all kinds of
touring and teaching, docents themselves
constantly need to be refreshed . Briefings for
five special exhibitions, brushups on the
permanent collection, and visits to museums in
Baltimore , Brooklyn, Allentown, Princeton, and
Wilmington were all an important part of the
continuing education of veteran docents in 1979.
This year's thank you from the Academy to
the docents was a luncheon sponsored by the
Women's Committee and arranged by Lucy
Stimson. Honored guests were former Academy
Director Joseph Fraser and Mrs. Fraser, who
enjoyed the occasion so much that they hosted a
tea party for the docents at their home a few
weeks later .

NASA Accreditation
An important event occurred when the Academy
School hosted a reception for the membership of
the National Association of Schools of Art in the
fall of 1979. NASA is the accrediting agency for
the visual arts recognized by the United States
Office of Education. On a visit to the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts in January 1978 its
evaluation team described the Academy School as
"an excellent example of the diversity of American
higher education in that it has charted a qualitative
course distinctly different from the mainstream of
American higher education and has remained a
unique institution."
Accreditation by NASA has allowed the
Academy School and its students to become
eligible for federal and state funds , grants and
loans not available to nonaccredited schools .
Consequently, the financial aid office was able
to facilitate the awarding of an additional
$160,000 in grants and loans to students which
were not available previously. The
establishment of a School financial aid office
necessitated the reorganization of the School
staff for purposes of student support. For the
first time we were able to establish a separate
financial aid office, admissions office and school
registrars office .
1979 Commencement and Awards
"
The 77th Commencement and Awards
Presentation was held in the Academy
auditorium. Vice President Charles E. Mather,
III, gave the opening address. Dr . Donald J.
Irving, Director of the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago, was the principal speaker .
Eleven Traveling Scholarships and forty-one
additional prizes totaling $47,000 were awarded
to students. The Philadelphia Mayor's award
was presented by City Representative Joseph
LaSala to Ock Jin Hyon. The Governor's Award
was presented by Dr. Sandra Featherman to
Koji Kawai.
Cresson Memorial Traveling Scholarships
were presented to Shingo Kamiya, Mark
McCullen, Carol Moller, John Nissen, Uta
Schubert and Harvey Weinreich. First awarded
in 1902, this year's Cresson Scholarships were in
the amount of $3800 each. The prize includes
travel in Europe, followed by another year of
study at the Academy. Cresson Special
Commendations were presented to Edward
Bider, Edgar Jerins, Brigitte Rutenberg and
Holly Silverthorne.
The Lewis S. Ware Memorial Traveling
Scholarships, first awarded in 1938 and this year
in the amount of $2300, was given to Micheline
Van Compernolle .
J. Henry Schiedt Memorial Traveling
Scholarships were awarded to Anne Fleming,
Sarah McEneaney, Michael Moser, and William
Scott. First awarded in 1949, Schiedt
Scholarships were in the amount of $2400 for
1979 and were to be used anytime within
twenty-eight months. Schiedt Special
Commendations were presented to Lisa Fox and
Marguerite Mandes . The Schiedt Scholarships
provide for travel wherever the recipients may
choose .
Academy students from eleven countries and
twenty-seven states were registered in the
School during 1979.
A New Move
The Alumni Office moved to the Peale House
during the fall semester. The Alumni
Coordinator has assumed responsibility for job
placement of students and alumni, as well as for
cooperation with the Fellowship on the Annual
Exhibition, Picnic, Saturday Drawing Class and
School Open House.

Faculty Activities
During 1979, faculty members' work continued
to be commissioned and exhibited all over the
world . Special interest was created by the
selection of instructor Arthur De Costa to paint
the official portrait of Mayor Frank Rizzo of
Philadelphia and by the Mayor's subsequent
visits to the Academy's Peale House to sit in
Arthur's studio. During the fall semester 1979,
the Academy School awarded its first sabbatical
leaves under a Ford Foundation grant to
Roswell Weidner and Ben Kamihira . Also
during the spring of 1979, Mr. Morris
Blackburn, a distinguished member of the
faculty , passed away . A scholarship fund has
been established in his memory.
During the past year, the Board and its
Committees, the Faculty and the Staff have
extended themselves to insure the vitality of the
Pennsylvania Academy as an institution of art
education. As the first art school in the United
States, we look forward to our 175th year with
the confidence born of knowledge of our past.

REPORT OF
THE WOMEN'S COMMITTEE
Activities
Receptions
It is with a great sense of achievement that I can
report on so many diverse activities in which
the Women's Committee has been involved.
The Women's Committee has been an integral
segment of the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts this past year and every member has
taken an active part in at least one project. The
cooperation, which has been most rewarding,
has resulted in making this one of the most
stimulating periods for the Committee.
For the first six-month period of 1979, Mrs .
George Reath served as President of the
Committee with much dedication and success .
On July 15, The Women's Committee
organized a bus trip to attend the reception at
the Governor's Mansion in Harrisburg to meet
Governor and Mrs . Richard Thornburgh and to
see thirty-five of the Academy's paintings on
loan there for the summer. Included in the
group were several faculty and staff members.
Among the important cultural attractions
offered to Academy members were the four
concerts held during the year in the Auditorium
at Broad and Cherry, under the direction of
Mrs . Robert W . Preucel. The Women's
Committee contributed $500 this year to this
series.
The receptior\s hosted by our Committee are
always enjoyable and among those at the
Academy in 1979 were the autograph party in
January for Robert Alberts, author of Benjamin
West; the party, also in January, at the opening
of the David J. Grossman Bequest Exhibition:
and the reception in March to welcome to the
art community Miss Jean Sutherland Boggs, new
Director of the Philadelphia Art Museum. We
were also happy to participate in April in the
first school "Open House" for parents and
friends of students .
It was our pleasant privilege to honor the
docents of the Academy at a catered luncheon
under the supervision of Mrs. Boudinot Stimson
on June 7. It was attended by over forty people
and a special treat was hearing Joseph T. Fraser
speak about his days as a former Academy
director.
Officers
In May, when I assumed the Presidency, the
following officers were elected:
Mrs. Nelson J. Leidner, President
Mrs. L. Talbot Adamson, First Vice President
Mrs. Robert W. Preucel. Second Vice
President
Mrs. Alexandra M. Dial. Treasurer
Mrs. Brandon Barringer, Corresponding
Secretary
Mrs . Herbert F. Schiffer, Member at Large
Mrs . James W. Cooke, Member at Large
Mrs . George Reath, Ex-Officio
We initiated a new program of inviting
various members from the Academy
administrative staff to speak at our meetings to
explain their work to us.
School
One of the principal thrusts of the Committee's
interests and financial aid is in the area of
the students of the School. To this end, in
1979 we provided $14,400 to the School for
students' needs. Also, in connection with each
monthly opening of students' exhibitions at the
Peale House, the Women's Committee hosts a
luncheon which is usually attended by 250
students and representatives of the faculty . This
makes for a sense of camaraderie which the
students thoroughly enjoy . Mmes . Harleston R.
Wood, Evan Randolph, Arthur C. Kaufmann ,
Avery B. Clark, Marcy W. Behr, Richard J. Fox
and Hans Ludvig Lorentzen have served at these
luncheons, which are so imaginatively
supervised by Mr. James Lulius, Superintendent
of Peale House .

JJSeasons in Art"
A most successful second edition of the
calendar, "Seasons in Art," with Mrs. Susan
West as Editor was published and the
Committee salutes her and the many other
Committee members who were so dedicated to
this project.
Fairmont Gala
In connection with other galleries in Peale
House, the Women's Committee also allocated
$3,000 this year for "Education through Exhibitions
for Students ."
The Gala Dinner and Ball at the Fairmont
Hotel in November, which was attended by
1200 people, was our major event in 1979. Not
21
only was it a stellar social gala but also a major
fund-raising project from which we were able to
realize $40,000 for the Academy . Virtually the
entire Women's Committee, under the leadership
of the Ball Co-Chairmen, Mrs. Albert M.
Greenfield, Jr. , and Mrs. George Reath,
contributed toward the Ball's success. Special
mention must be made of the efforts made by
Mrs. Harleston R. Wood, Chairman of the
Junior Gala, as well as other members of the Ball
Committee: Mmes. James W . Cooke, Newlin F.
Davis, J. H. Ward Hinkson, E. Robert Thomas,
John H. Gribbel, II, Jack M. Enoch, Jr.,
Alexandra M. Dial, Alan McIlvain, Frederick
W. G. Peck, Susan W. West and Lathrop B.
Nelson, Jr.
Our Safaris, under the direction of Mrs.
Greenfield and assisted by Mrs . Reath, have
proven to be our most popular and successful
source of revenue and have gained many new
friends for the Academy throughout the country .
In January of 1979 an art Safari to New York
to see the Treasures of King Tut was very
successful, as was the Safari to New Orleans
under the aegis of Mrs. Adamson.
Other Safari highlights included the
Washington day trip in May when a group of
100 was entertained by Clement E. Conger,
Curator at the White House, and always a
friend of the Academy. He arranged a
fascinating day with a visit to the White House
to see paintings on loan from our Academy
hanging in the private quarters, a special
luncheon in the State Department reception
room and a visit to Vice President Mondale's
House.
The Private Eye Safari, led in June by Mrs .
Herbert F. Schiffer, to visit private collections
on the Main Line and in Chester County was a
great success with two busloads of men and
women touring the homes all day and then
ending up at Broad and Cherry for the preview
opening of the great exhibition of art works
loaned by private collectors.
International attention was focused on the
Academy in July by the China Safari when the
group visiting China had the opportunity to
meet distinguished Chinese artists and cultural
figures . These visits were reported widely in the
press.
Under Mrs. John Clark Keene's supervision,
Christmas at the Academy was very festive
22
Santa comes to the Academy
because the Women's Committee invited the
entire membership to a beautiful party on
December 16. The children were enchanted with
the clowns, puppets and small toys and the 400
guests were served refreshments against a
background of beautiful decorations and choral
singing.
We are very happy to report that through the
efforts of two of our members, a baby-grand
piano was donated to the Academy. We are
most grateful for this gift.
Our Committee is taking a very active role,
along with four other Philadelphia museums'
Women's Committees, in sponsoring the
American Association of Museum Trustees
Conference to be held in Philadelphia October
2, 3, 4 in 1980.
We expect to continue our Safaris to exciting
cities and exhibitions this coming year as well as
to sponsor several social events for the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
On our drawing board, we have sketched in
numerous other plans to assist the Academy in
future celebrations, exhibitions, student aid
programs, etc. ; and as the year progresses, the
Women's Committee will make even bolder
brush strokes to complete our canvas.
To each of these dedicated women and the
members of the Academy who are so loyal in
supporting our Women's Committee functions,
I wish to extend my sincere thanks .

REPORT OF
THE DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT
The Department of Development has made
considerable strides in the name of the
Academy. Progress, growth and change have
been its keynotes.
Two successful direct mail campaigns in the
last year plus a contributing membership drive
added 1000 new members to the Academy
family. At year-end 1979, membership reached
3200, and is growing. This is an all-time high.
Support Doubles
The number of corporations and foundations
contributing to the Academy's support has
doubled. In 1979, eighty-one proposals were
submitted to a variety of potential funding
sources. The Academy received funds from
seventy-six of them.
The Charles Willson Peale Society
The Charles Willson Peale Society, a special
category of membership, is now in its second
year. The activities planned have had a striking
impact on the enrollment, which reached a firstyear high of ninety-three.
A New Program for Business
To encourage businesses to contribute by giving
them something of value in exchange for their
support, the Academy began a Business
Partnership program in 1979. Admission tickets
to company personnel and immediate families
for use any time during the year, specially
designated company evenings, memberships for
personnel and evening art classes for employees
are among the benefits offered in exchange for
corporate support. In this first year of the
program, forty-one companies took advantage
of this arrangement and became "business
partners."
A New Program for Commemorative
Opportunities
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has
established a formal program to promote
Commemorative Opportunities. This enables
individuals, corporations and foundations to
make lasting gifts by dedicating space in the
building at Broad and Cherry Streets. A
brochure was produced to promote this method
of giving.
A New Membership Program
A new position was established, that of
Membership Coordinator, thus enabling the
Academy to create new and vital membership
programs. Membership evenings were
inaugurated with the exhibition Seven on the
Figure. Subscription dinners and cooperative
activities with other cultural institutions marked
an innovative Membership Program. More than
twenty-five Volunteers for Membership
provided valuable assistance at many of the
special events.

the Performing Arts, for an Academy special event

Public Information
The Public Relations Department continued in
its objective to increase community, regional,
and national awareness of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts. Aggressive
publication and distribution of a variety of
informative brochures and a new format for the
newsletter as well as increased media contact
have formed an important part of this effort.
One dramatic result has been an increase of
attendance by more than one-third over 1978.
The ability to have achieved so much in one
year is directly due to a very fine staff who
have worked so hard. In their unique fashions ,
they fused their talents to support the
Department's work and the programs of the
Academy. Jodie Evans, Membership
Coordinator, and Anna Mang, Membership
Secretary; Susan Rappaport, Public Information
Officer and Mary Hall, Assistant to the
Development Director, deserve my deep and
sincere appreciation for their drive, their strength
and the volume of work they handled . Many of
their activities were accomplished for the first
time ever at the Academy. The Development
Director would also like to express a personal
sense of gratitude to the Development Committee
of the Board of Trustees for their hours of time
and for their complete support of our many
innovations .
Members' Opening: The Private Eye
Thanks to Contributors
A list of contributors is included in this report.
The Academy is most grateful to them all. Many
have given more than money - they have given
their valuable time and made in-kind
contributions to which no monetary value can

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of
The Administrator
The Academy's financial statements which are
shown herein reflect an excess of $266,726 of expenses over support and revenue after capital
transactions . This excess was caused chiefly by a
shortfall in anticipated revenue . Substantial
increases in investment income were not
sufficient to overcome the effect of unrestricted
gifts and grants from governmental, business
and foundation sources which proved to be less
than anticipated.
Generally speaking, the Academy continues
to be the grateful recipient ·of generous support
restricted to specific projects vital to its
continued existence. However, in the equally
vital, albeit unglamorous area of mundane
operational expenditures of labor costs, utilities
bills, etc ., the Academy finds it increasingly
difficult to obtain adequate funding. In this
area, we are cautiously optimistic that our
recently reorganized Development Department
will succeed in substantially improving our track
record by increasing our unrestricted revenue.
All in all, the Academy, along with many of
its sister institutions across the country, finds
itself caught in an inflationary spiral where a
combination of rising expenses and falling
interest rates on its investment portfolio must be
matched by increasing donor support if it is to
avoid deficit spending and thus remain a viable
institution in the years ahead .
In our opinion, the accompanying financial
statements present fairly the financial position of
the Academy as of December 31, 1979, and the
results of its operations and changes in its
financial position for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that
of the preceding year.
Our examination also comprehended the
accompanying supplemental schedule of
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1979.
In our opinion, such supplemental schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial
statements,presents fairly in all material respects the
information shown therein.

See notes to financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements of the
Academy have been prepared on the accrual
basis. The significant accounting policies
followed are described below to enhance the
usefulness of the financial statements to the
reader.
Fund Accounting
To ensure the observance of limitations and
restrictions placed on the use of resources
available to the Academy, its accounts are
maintained in accordance with fund accounting .
Under these principles resources for various
purposes are classified for accounting and
reporting purposes into funds established
according to their nature and purposes. Separate
accounts are maintained for each fund ;
however, in the accompanying financial
statements, funds having similar characteristics
have been combined into fund groups.
Accordingly, all financial transactions have been
recorded and reported by fund groups .
The assets, liabilities, and fund balances of
the Academy are reported in three self-balancing
fund groups as follows:
- Operating funds, which include unrestricted
arid restricted resources, represent that
portion of the Academy's expendable funds
available for support of the Academy's
operations.
- Plant funds represent resources expended or
restricted for acquisitions of property, plant ,
and equipment.
- Endowment funds represent funds subject to
restrictions of gift instruments requiring that
for specified amounts of time or in perpetuity
the principal be invested and only income be
used.
Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of first-in,
first-out cost or market.
Deferred Exhibition Expenses
Exhibition expenses are deferred and amortized
on a straight-line basis over the life of the
exhibit.
30
Investments
Investments in marketable equity securities are
carried at the aggregate lower of cost or market.
Investments in bonds and other debt
instruments such as U.S. Treasury notes are
carried at cost. Real estate held for investment is
carried at cost.
Property
Property purchased is recorded at cost. Property
donated is recorded at fair value at date of
donation. Depreciation is provided on a
straight-line basis over the lives of the respective
fixed assets.
Unrestricted Gifts and Grants
Unrestricted gifts and grants are recorded as
revenue of the operating fund in the period
specified by the donor.
Memberships
Memberships are recognized as revenue when
payment is received.
Unexpended Restricted Contributions
Contributions to the Operating and Plant Funds
when restricted by the donor are recorded as
revenue or capital additions to the extent
expenses have been incurred for the purposes
specified by the donor.
Art Collection
In conformity with the practice followed by
many museums, art objects purchased and
donated are not included in the balance sheet.
Gifts of cash or other property donated for
the purpose of acquiring art work are classified
as unexpended restricted revenue until
acquisitions are made. The cost of all art objects
purchased or acquired by gift, less proceeds
from de accessions of art objects, is reported in
the statement of activity as a separate program
expense.
Functional Expense Allocations
Expenses of various program and other activities
have been summarized on a functional basis in
the statement of activity. Accordingly, certain
expenses have been allocated among the
programs and supporting services.
Capital Additions
Amounts classified as capital additions in the
statement of activity represent gifts, grants or
bequests restricted by the donor to Endowment
or Plant Funds either permanently or for a
period of time. Capital additions also include
investment income and gains or losses on
investments that must, due to donor or legal
restrictions, be added to or deducted from
principal.

5. Retirement Plan
On May 10, 1965, the Academy established
an informal Retirement Plan (as amended
September 15, 1971). Under this plan the
Academy had accounted for pension costs by
charging expense as amounts were paid to
retirees. Subsequent to December 31, 1978,
the Academy determined that the informal
Retirement Plan (informal Plan) was not in
accordance with the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Accordingly, on May 16, 1979, the Board
adopted a resolution which rescinded the
informal Plan and established a limited
Retirement Plan (limited Plan) effective
June 1, 1979. The limited Plan covers certain
retired employees and four other employees
and provides for retirement payments on the
same basis as the informal Plan .
Based on the date of the latest actuarial
evaluation, January 1, 1979, the present
value of future benefits payable was
approximately $340,000. Retirement expense
(including actuarial adjustment of present
value) for the year ended December 31, 1979
was $64,537.
6. Deferred Revenue - Restricted
Contributions
The following is a summary of the change in
deferred restricted contributions of the
Operating and Plant Funds for the year
ended December 31, 1979 :

7. Agency
The Academy is acting as afl'CAgent for a
federal Basic Educational Opportunity Grant
(BEOG). An authorization in the amount of
$112,806 was approved to the Academy
during 1979. This amount is to be used over
two terms, fall term 1979 and spring term
1980. Payments are made to those students
who have successfully completed an
32
eligibility report with approval from BEOG
authorities. The balance of the grant
remaining, $58,114, represents funds reserved
for the spring term of 1980.
8. Reclassification of Certain Endowment Funds
During 1979 the Academy's Board had its
legal counsel make a review of documents
related to endowments to more precisely
determine the continued applicability of
endowment restrictions. This review resulted
in the Academy reclassifying funds with
Board-imposed restrictions and / or obsolete
donor restrictions as unrestricted funds. The
total amount of funds reclassified as a result
of this review was $1,151,682 . Of this
amount, $912,881 was used to repay
amounts owed to the Endowment Fund by
the Operating Fund as a result of past
borrowings. At December 31, 1979, the
remaining funds ($238,801) are included in
the Operating Fund as unrestricted
investments.
9. Administration Expenses
Certain expenses, such as payroll, insurance,
retirement, security, etc ., are classified in
administration expenses on a responsibility
basis rather than allocated to program
expenses and supporting services on a
functional basis.
