THE ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIFTH
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS
1980
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts celebrated its 175th anniversary in
1980. Since its founding in 1805, the
Pennsylvania Academy has been
dedicated to collecting the finest in
American Art and to educating many of
the country's outstanding artists.
The present and third Academy building
is a designated National Historic
Landmark; it is a splendid Victorian
building which was a major attraction of
the Centennial celebration in 1876 and
which houses its galleries and its school.
It was restored to its former glory for the
Bicentennial and now stands as the only
completely authentically restored Frank
Furness building of this era in
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia 1805 ... The Schuylkill had
been spanned by the Market Street
Bridge. The Society of Friends built a
large meeting house at 4th and Arch
Streets. Believe it or not, ships from the
Port of Philadelphia in 1805 were
actually trading with countries and cities
as far away as China, the East Indies,
Bordeaux, Antwerp, Liverpool, London,
Lisbon, and Versailles . One Oliver Evans
was experimenting with the propulsion of
vehicles by steam , and the sensational
Oructor Amphibolis (generally known as
the Amphibious Digger) had been
devised for cleaning docks. The tolls for
bridges and roads had to be raised, and
the fledgling postal service was observed to be improving! Philadelphians
were busy building and creating a city.
This, then, was the setting for the founding of the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts, oldest museum in America,
one of the oldest in the world, and
America's first and innovative school for
the instruction of students in art.
The Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts was founded in 1805 by some
of the nation's most creative influences,
led by Charles Willson Peale , William
Rush, and Thomas Sully. During that
time, Charles Willson Peale wrote to his
friend Thomas Jefferson who was in the
then "Oval Office": "We hope to begin a
building," and in 1806 the building at
10th and Chestnut opened, Benjamin
West was appointed first honorary president, a cast collection was obtained, and
the great George Clymer, who had
signed the Declaration of Independence,
toiled away as the first President of the
fledging Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts.
Henry S. McNeil with Mrs. Richard
Thornburgh ahd Uta Schubert, recipient of
the Governor's Award
PAFA 1805 -
1980
Yes, we've come a long way. One hundred seventy-five years after its founding, the school teaches more than 450
students from the majority of the states
and more than a dozen foreign countries. The faculty is internationally
known, and one of the five best collections of American art is housed in the
restored Furness building.
In 1856 the Academy celebrated its
50th anniversary. By that time it had a
vital exhibitions program, an expanding
collection, and an excellent school ; it
had come through a disastrous fire and
an enlargement of the building , which
had been mortgaged to acquire its first
work by Benjamin West.
The new and present building at
Broad and Cherry Streets opened in time
for the Centennial. In 1905, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the
American artist William Merritt Chase,
long associated with the school , called
the Academy the most important art
institution in America. The years 1876 to
1905 saw the peak of Academy prestige
and influence. Annual exhibitions showed
the best artists of their times. Thomas
Eakins became Director of the school.
Important additions were made to
the collection.
From 1905 until 1980, the Academy
has continued to build upon its rich
heritage. The building was restored in
1976 and the collection was expanded
further. Contemporary exhibitions were
held of national scope; additional
facilities were added.
Happiness comes with success, but
today 's success doesn't guarantee our
future. Our past merely provides us with
a fantastically successful, historical
pattern to pursue.
Exhibitions and Events 1980
During the 175th Anniversary Year
Our Main Gallery exhibitions were
highlighted by Man of Genius: The Art of
Washington Allston, the 79th Annual
Student Exhibition, and The Art of Daniel
Garber, which was officially opened by
members of the Garber family, and the
first full-scale retrospective East Coast
Exhibition of Jamie Wyeth, another
distinguished member of the Wyeth
family who have been so much a part of
PAFA's history.
Other exhibitions and events were the
creative Morris Gallery exhibitions,
showing native Philadelphia talents; the
Peale House Gallery exhibitions, often
showing works by students and faculty ;
Sunday afternoon concerts; gallery talks
and tours; and our 175th Anniversary
Birthday Block Party, which closed off
Broad Street to the consternation of a
handful of drivers and to the happiness
of the 15,000 men, women, and children
who were our guests.
Membership, Board of Trustees,
and Women's Committee
An all-time record in the general
membership and in the Peale Club has
been achieved. The Charles Willson
Peale Society, with its distinguished
group of significant contributors to the
Finance Report
Henry S. McNeil and John Garber
arts , continues to grow at the Academy.
The brilliant collective minds of 1805
created an American art tradition whose
continued vitality is matched only by its
longevity.
Daniel Dietrich II, John Gribbel II,
Donald E. Meads , and Bertram L. O'Neill
have stepped down from the Board of
Trustees, abiding by the rules of the
rotation of the board. However, we are
fortunate to have now the advice of Mrs.
Elliott R. Detchon, Jr., James Biddle,
Samuel M. V. Hamilton, Mrs. Meyer P.
Potamkin, William L. Grala, Henry F.
Harris, and Mrs. Kenneth Gemmill.
The old advertisement ran, "Never
underestimate the power of a woman."
How well this applies to the Academy .
Planning receptions, staffing events ,
bringing our school and museum to the
attention of the public, the ever-popular
"Safaris," their financial support - all
these are integrated with what we
proudly and appreciatively call "The
Women 's Committee."
The Finance Report provides you with
the fact that the difficult year of 1980
has passed with a relatively miniscule
deficit in cash flow. What it doesn't
recognize, however, are the many other
important facets of the diamond ... the
great benefit of the museum to
Philadelphia, and the impending student
output... the enormous value of our
collection ... and particularly the
important works which far surpass the
deficit and which were donated by
equally important figures in the art
world.
In regard to overall project support,
we happily recognize the specific
generosity of the Pew Memorial Trust,
The Sun Company, Reliance Insurance
Company, Provident Bank, and
Smith Kline Foundation . I would also like
to specially recognize fellow board
members Mr. and Mrs . Samuel M. V.
Hamilton, Mrs . John Wintersteen, and
Mr. and Mrs. Bertram L. O'Neill, who
made our anniversary year a great
success. To Mrs. Ben Wolf go many
thanks for establishing the Morris
Blackburn Memorial Scholarship.
Finally, and on the personal side, my
privileged years as President of the
Pennsylvania Academy have been
interesting, creative, and made
successful by teachers, staff, students,
supporters, committee members, and all
those who share my enthusiasm, regard,
and appreciation for the contribution this
175-Year-Old Lady of Broad and Cherry
Streets makes to our society. Thank you.
May ou r next 175 years be evaluated
by the discerning as even more exciting
than the first.

Changes in Board and Staff
Structure
Accredi tation:
The School and the Museum
The School of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts received accreditation from the National Association
of Schools of Art in 1978. In 1981, the
Museum of the Academy is due for reaccreditation by the American Association
of Museums, whose special Commission
granted accreditation to the Academy in
1973. Accreditation is important both to
the museum concerned and to the profession in general , and I quote from the
Commission's letter to me: "The application of resources to the fulfilling of a
museum's purposes and responsibilities
is a continuing commitment, and the
maintenance of standards is as important as an initial conformity to the profession's efforts to maintain and improve
standards .... the reaccreditation
procedures are designed to point out
major changes in your institution since it
was originally accredited." Therefore ,
before discussing the significant events
of 1980, the Academy's 175th year, let
us review briefly the above " major
changes," some of which occurred
during 1980 - or were approved in
1980 for implementation in 1981.
Criticism by the AAM Commission in
1973 included the general physical state
of the Broad and Cherry building with
particular emphasis on the basement
storage areas, which at the time looked
like a scene straight out of Les
Miserables, and the lack of adequate
climate control and air conditioning . The
AAM Commission also was critical of the
existence of "stockholders ," a
nineteenth-century anachronism in
organizational practice; the lack of a
Richard J. Boyle
In 1974, the Stockholders generously
voted to turn in their shares of stock in
the Academy and the Board of Directors
was renamed Board of Trustees. In 1977
an organization chart was developed,
designating various positions of Board
and Staff. A personnel manual was
developed in 1980, as well as a partial
salary administration scheme, kindly provided by the Provident Bank. Although
more work is needed for that project, it
was consistent with the Academy 's aims
to increase the salary level of our
employees.
Staff Benefits
proper organization chart and a
generally low salary level in comparison
with other art institutions.
Completion of Building
Restoration
If it were not for the Academy's ambitious and ultimately successful plans to
restore its building , our institution very
likely would not have been accredited.
But restore it we did , and in 1976, after
being closed for two years , a sparkling,
practically new building was reopened to
the public. It is a building that had
undergone both historical restoration
and necessary modernization such as a
renovated storage area, air conditioning,
climate control and the latest " state of
the art " in fire protection . In late 1975
our building was designated a National
Historic Landmark by the federal government and was the subject of a special
article in The New York Times by its
architecture editor , Ada Louise Huxtable .
Although the building was reopened during the Bicentennial,. work continued and
the last of it - exterior cleaning - was
finished this year. For the implementation and completion of the project,
thanks are due to many people and

In 1980, the Academy's Board approved
a benefits package of medical and major
medical insurance , life insurance and
retirement benefits for full-time staff and
faculty for implementation in the 1981
budget. It was the first time that such
sweeping reforms in the area of staff
benefits had been proposed in the
history of this venerable institution. They
were the result of a study of the problem
by the firm of Alexander and Alexander ,
most generously funded by the Dietrich
Foundation. In summary, then, we can
look forward with a certain amount of
pride to the on-site visit of the
reaccreditation committee of the AAM
in 1981.
Members' Opening .....
Exhibitions
Significant events in the Academy's
Museum in 1980 included the very important exhibition of the work of
Washington Allston, in collaboration with
the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and
the work of Daniel Garber, with the
generous collaboration of the Garber
family. Both of these exhibitions were
funded in part by the Pew Memorial
Trust. And there was the Jamie Wyeth
exhibition . This exhibition, entirely
funded by the Sun Company, opened to
a general wailing and gnashing of teeth
by the Philadelphia art critics , but nevertheless to the warm response and
delight of the general public. Toward the
end of the year and through the
generosity of the Smith Kline Foundation ,
we began a series of special exhibitions
from the permanent collection. The Morris Gallery exhibitions continued our
policy of showing the work of relatively
unknown contemporary artists with emphasis on artists from Pennsylvania and,
in particular, the Philadelphia area.
These exhibitions have been aided immeasurably by grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
School
Academy school exhibitions, at Peale
House, are organized by the Academy
faculty as part of the curriculum and are
directed primarily toward our students.
Exhibitions in 1980 included the
Fellowship (Alumni) exhibition, The Pennsylvania Academy Schools: Part /I
1876-1900, guest curator, David Sellin ,
and the work of Saul Schary and Harry
Rosin, the former an alumnus and the
latter a distinguished former instructor of
sculpture. These exhibitions are funded
in part by the Women's Committee of
the Academy.
The Academy School's Saturday
classes for talented children from the
Philadelphia school system, funded by
the Merit Gasoline Foundation , the Fels
Foundation, and the Philadelphia Foundation , continue to be a popular form of
"outreach " in the community and a
source for future students for our school.
The Dead Man Restored to Life by Touching
the Bones of the Prophet Elisha, 1811-1813
Peale House
In addition , our President, Henry S.
McNeil, had appointed a special committee to review the condition of the Peale
House. That report was to determine the
future of the Peale House as to whether
we should renovate or dispose of it and
it led to the decision to look into the purchase, ultimately consummated in 1981,
of the Oliver Bair building directly across
Chestnut Street from the Peale House.
Further details on the school are
covered in the report of the Dean.
175th Anniversary Year
Since 1980 was the 175th anniversary
year of the Academy, the single biggest
event in regard to that magic number
was a mammoth birthday block party on
June 8, when Broad Street between
Arch and Cherry Streets was closed off
to accommodate the various activities in
connection with the celebration. At that
time, the Academy honored Robert
Crawford, Philadelphia's Commissioner
of Recreation who has consistently
helped the cultural institutions of
Philadelphia. Commissioner Crawford
read a proclamation from Mayor Green ,
which was heard by roughly 15,000 people who attended the festivities. Special
thanks are due to the City of
Philadelphia and especially to the
Philadelphia Police Department and the
Department of Streets, without whose
help that memorable Sunday would have
been impossible.
Also in connection with the
Academy's birthday year, the U.S. Postal
Service printed a stamp showing our
Broad and Cherry building. It honored
the architect, Frank Furness , who , prior
to the restoration of our building , was
virtually unknown nationally.
However, no event in any area of our
endeavor is possible without a talented
and dedicated staff, all of whom have
made valuable contributions to the
organization. The Academy's Registrar,
Janice Stan land , has been el!?cted
Chairperson of the Registrar's Committee of the AAM, and the executive staff
continues a tradition of Academy visibility by serving on various organizations
throughout the city.
Staff changes include Gale Rawson,
who has replaced Melinda McGough as
assistant registrar. Paul Hagan has
resigned as Chief of Security; his
replacement, Andrew Berko, will be
hired in 1981. Kathleen Foster has
assumed permanent status as Assistant
Curator and Linda Bantel is the guest
curator for two exhibitions, a massive
showing of our sculpture collection in
1984 and a major retrospective of
William Rush in 1982, the latter as part
of our contribution to the city's
Tricentennial in that year .
My report, therefore, is both a summary of the past and a look into the
future . And although the future means a
greater push for financial support, a
problem we share with most of our
sister institutions , it is hoped that the
vitality of our programs and the support
of our community will be very much a
part of the momentum that began with
our accreditation for museum and
school in 1973 and 1978.

REPORT OF
THE CURATOR
Curator Frank Goodyear in the galleries with
Walt Whitman by Thomas Eakins
Annual reports are traditionally the time
to assess the year gone by and to thank
the hundreds of persons - trustees,
staff, volunteers, donors and advocates .
of all sorts - for their special contributions to the overall needs of the museum
program. In the past five years I have
dutifully followed this format, proudly
noting the stature of the Academy as a
museum of American art. Along this line
I hope it is not too forward to say that
the Academy has assumed a position of
leadership among museums in America
in the areas of scholarly and innovative
exhibitions and publications, conservation and acquisition of contemporary
works of art.
This year I hope you will pardon me if
I forego the usual summary of events
format (detailed in the opening pages of
the Annual Report) and rather project
briefly where, in my opinion, the
Academy's museum should be headed
in the decade of the 1980s. What are
the crucial issues and needs facing us?
Of course, we must continue to demand only the very best in every sense
for the permanent collection. It must be
protected and used wisely. We also
must continue to lend real support to the
artistic community, local and national.
We cannot just be a museum of yesterday's art but of yesterday's and today's.
What we also need to address ourselves
to is a new set of concerns:
We must begin the long overdue job
of publishing scholarly catalogues of
the permanent collections (some of
this has been set in motion already
with our plans to publish catalogues
on the American works of art on
paper in 1984 and on American
sculpture in 1985).
Staff of the Museum
12
We must increase the amount of
gallery space available for the exhibition of the permanent collection
(presently we can ol']ly exhibit ten per
cent of the permanent collection at
anyone time and, of course, less
when temporary exhibitions are
William Bailey, Monte Migiana Still Life,
Acquisition, 1980
installed). What we badly need is temporary exhibition galleries so that the
present Academy galleries can be used
exclusively for rotating exhibitions
of the permanent collection . We don't
want the museum to lose its intimate
scale, but we do want to serve our
collection and in turn the public.
We must make the Academy a vital
educational institution that is accessible, meaningful and popular to a
diverse constituency.
None of these are easy objectives
(and there are others as well). The
solutions to these problems will determine in large measure the future role
of the Academy's museum .
I can 't forego (nor would I want to) the
happy responsibility of thanking the
many dedicated persons who worked
hard fo'r the Academy's museum in
1980. Charles E. Mather III, Chairman,
and the other members of the Collections and Exhibitions Committee
provided the museum s,taff with wise
counsel and enthusiastic support. The
museum's program was aided immeasurably by the generous ·support of
.the Pew Memorial Trust, Sun Company,
the National Endowment for the Arts and
the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts . We

commitment here, but I can assure you
of it. I would personally like to commend
the following persons for their excellent
work in 1980: Kathleen Foster, Linda
Bantel, Joe Amarotico and his staff,
Virginia Naude and her staff, Elizabeth
Kolowrat, Jeanne MacAlpine and the
docents, Janice Stanland and Gale
Rawson, Cathy Stover, Robert Harmon,
Roman Tybinko and Jim Conboy, and
Elizabeth Romanella, my unflappable
assistant, whose dedication to details
has been known to save the day.
Finally, it may be easy in this day of
"shrinking every things" to deny the importance of museums and concomitantly
to reduce our own expectations of what
museums should , can and can't do. This
is false reasoning and rhetoric. Rather
we must require more of our museums,
always looking for ways to serve . The
Academy is ready to meet these
responsibilities.

REPORT OF
THE MUSEUM EDUCATION DIRECTOR
(I
Docents
Elizabeth Kolowrat
Accolades for individual docents almost
never appear in this year-end roundup of
Education Department activities . If they
did , my report would be a li st of praise
too lengthy to print. But this year I would
like to express special thanks to docent
emeritus Eileen Hinkson and to docents
Alice McGovern and Joan Mossey as
they are leaving the Academy.
PAFA docents are remarkable for
many excellent qualities, and the most
demanding aspect of their work is its
continuing variety. The 1980 exhibition
schedule took us from Washington
Allston through Daniel Garber to Jamie
. Wyeth: styles as different as the eras
that produced them and the persona lities of the artists themselves.
Docents were required to study these
special exhibitions against a background
of art history as well as in the Academy
context.
A training class for new docents met
in summer sessions during June and
July. Its eleven graduates, along with our
twenty-five veterans , turned in a spectacular performance of tours for more
than 7000 museum visito rs during the
Jamie Wyeth exhibition. In November
the docents were entertained by
WOCOM at a Peale Club luncheon
organized by Lucy Stimson . This was a
most welcome treat in the middle of our
busiest season; the menu did not include pigs-in-blankets!
Staff
Docent Jeanne MacAlpine is now a parttime staff member in the Education
Department with the title of Program
Consultant. Her work in planning PAFA's
school tour programs has included a
cooperative venture with severa l other
museums for a series of chi ldren 's tours
called Philadelphia: A Port City. Jeanne
also assists with PAFA docent activities :
briefings, scheduling, and trips.
The department's spring semester
intern was Barbara Link, a high-school
senior from Lower Merion who became
a junior docent , working with docent
22
~I
Ruth Preucel on a sequence of museum
lessons for fifth graders from a nearby
middle school. In September an
Academy work-schola rsh ip student, Lisa
Guercio, kept the education office running smooth ly wh ile all avai lab le docents
(myself in c luded) were involved with
Wyeth tours.
Young art lovers
School Tour Program!?
In 1980 the number of school chi ldren
participating in museum lessons (TR IAD
and specia l exhibition tours) increased
agi'\in . Yearly visits to the Academy have
become standard teaching supplements
for schools that have discovered our
program. The Education Department's
attractive new poster also brought us
many c lients this year. But the biggest
problem in developing our school
audience continues to be the transportation gap. A specia l project in connection
with the Jamie Wyeth show brought this
problem sharply into focus when a
$4000 grant from Sun Company enabled us to offer free busing for school
tour groups. In ten weeks we gave tours
for 1900 additional Philadelphia school
ch il dren, only 3 % of whom could have
come to the Academy without free
transportation. As school budgets
become ever tighter, we can only hope
for another "angel" to provide this
essential link between the museum and
the schools.

REPORT OF
THE DEAN OF THE ACADEMY SCHOOL
Annual Student Exh ibition
Governance of the School
Mayor William J. Green, Dean Ephraim
Weinberg and Shingo Kamiya, recipient of the
.
Mayor's Award.
The year 1980 was marked by a redefinition of appropriate roles for participation
in governance of the School by the
students, faculty, administration and
Instruction Committee of the Pennsylvan ia Academy. Elizabeth Osborne
and Joseph Amarotico served as
Chairpersons of the Faculty Committee
during that period of time and were instrumental in identifying and resolving
issues of concern.
Ford Foundation Faculty Enrichment
Grants, which have been used by the
Academy for sabbatical leaves, were
awarded in 1980 to Elizabeth Osborne,
Arthur De Costa , and Jimmy Lueders.

Awards Ceremonies were held in the
Academy auditorium on May 14.

Alumni Fellowship which awarded
memberships to all Traveling Scholarship

twenty-four states.
Summer School
Looking Ahead
Academy faculty, students, and administration are looking forward in the
coming year to making an intensive
study of the school curriculum in
preparation for a change of physical
facilities and in anticipation of a National
Association of Schools of Art review.

REPORT OF
THE WOMEN'S COMMITTEE
A Breezy Day, Charles C. Curran
The Women 's Committee sponsored two
interesting projects this year: first, the
formal dinner party to preview the Jamie
Wyeth Exhibition on September 16; and a
luncheon and exhibition tour, also at
the Academy, as part of the National
Conference of the American Association
of Museum Trustees held in
Philadelphia.

Jam ie Wyeth Opening
A committee, chaired by Mmes. Charles
J. Webb II and Scott Adamson , arranged
a gala subscription dinner to open the
Jamie Wyeth Exhibition. The valet parking and the red carpet rolled outside the
Academy 's entrance heralded the
excitement in store for guests attending
the black-tie dinner. An aura of anticipation was pervasive throughout the
rotunda and galleries as the guests were
greeted by special hosts Mr. and Mrs.
Jamie Wyeth; Mrs. John Wintersteen,
the Honorary Chairman for the dinner;
Mrs. Dick Thornburgh; Mr. and Mrs.
Henry S. McNeil and the Honorable and
Mrs. Walter H. Annenberg. Members
from the Women 's Committee also
hosted each table and welcomed the
400 people who attended . Among those
who came to honor Mr. Wyeth was his
friend Andy Warhol, as well as others
distinguished in the art community .
Many prominent members of the Wyeth
family , their friends, associates and
colleagues also attended.
Guests received an illustrated catalogue
and a poster of Mr. Wyeth 's A Very
Small Dog in a special edition signed by
the artist.
Accolades go to the Co-Chairmen as
well as Mmes . Robert W. Preucel, Henry
S. McNeil , J. H. Ward Hinkson, Arthur C.
Kaufmann, Harrison Therman, James W.
Cooke and to all the members of the
Committee who worked through the
summer to make this event a great success. Expecial thanks must be given to
Mrs. Alexandra M. Dial, our Treasurer,
who manages the financial affairs for
our committee in a most professional
way.
Meetings Hosted by Women's
Committee
In preparation for the National Conference of the American Association of
Museum Trustees, hosted by the
Women 's Committees of five
Philadelphia museums , our Women 's
Committee held a luncheon in the rotunda of the Academy in March. Dr.
Thomas W. Leavitt , Director of the
Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at
Cornell University, spoke to volunteers
from the five museums about legislation
in the arts. Mrs. Herbert F. Schiffer arranged the luncheon, followed by a
docent tour of the Washington Allston
Exhibition. At the three-day conference
in October , the Women's Committee
also hosted a luncheon, followed by a
tour of the Jamie Wyeth Exhibition. Each
of the 240 Trustees from all parts of the
country, many of whom had never seen
the Academy , received a souvenir document gift from Mr. McNeil.
Another highlight was a cocktail
reception and subscription lecture by
Gloria Braggiotti Etting at the home of
Mr. Henry Mcilhenny. This event was
underwritten and arranged by Mmes.
Avery B. Clark and Evans Randolph.
Concerts
We are indebted to Mrs. Robert W.
Preucel for organizing the annual series
of Sunday afternoon concerts in the
Academy rotunda , enjoyed , without
charge, by hundreds of members and
visitors.
Special Projects
Mrs. Charles J. Webb II, Jamie Wyeth,
Phyllis Wyeth, and Mrs. Scott Adamson
Andy Warhol and friends at the Jamie Wyeth
Preview Party
Acade my Students' and
Women's Comm ittee
We award many student scholarships
from funds raised by our special events.
We provide luncheon for students and
members of the faculty when student
work is on view in the Peale House
Galleries. Mmes. Harleston R. Wood,
Richard J. Fox, Evan Randolph, Newlin
F. Davis, frederick W. G: Peck , Marcy
W. Behr and Hans Ludvig Lorentzen
have assisted at these luncheons, where
students can exchange ideas and
develop a sense of camaraderie among
their faculty and peers . We are grateful
to Mr . James Lulius , Superintendent of
Peale House , who so imaginatively
plans and supervises the preparation of
the menus.
We contribute substantially to the program "Education through Exhibitions,"
which includes art shows in the Peale
House.
Mrs. Boudinot Stimson arranged a
luncheon for the Women's Committee
and the docents.
The annual Christmas party was held in
the Academy for the entire membership,
their children and the staff. The beautiful
huge tree at the top of the stairs was
decorated once again by Mmes . J. H.
Ward Hinkson, E. Robert Thomas and
John C. Keene .
A new ad hoc "long-range" planning
committee, chaired by Mrs. Lathrop B.
Nelson, Jr., and including Mmes. Robert
W. Preucel, James W. Cooke, Richard J.
Fox, Mary MacGregor Mather, and
Marcy W. Behr, distributed a questionnaire to all members of the Committee.
The results were compiled and are
presently under discussion.
Safaris
Our famous Safaris continued under the
superb direction of Mrs. Albert M.
Greenfield, Jr., with Safaris to
Washington in February and November.
Several national exhibitions were seen
on each occasion and private hospitality,
as only Mrs. Greenfield can provide,
were highlights of these trips. A private
visit and tour at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. David Lloyd Kreeger was a rare
privilege.
A Safari in May to "Pokety," the
country estate of the late Col. and Mrs.
Edgar William Garbisch on Maryland 's
Eastern Shore , was quickly arranged for
100 Academy members when it was
learned that the home would be
dismantled and auctioned within a few
weeks .
A trip to New York in June to see the
Picasso retrospective at the Museum of
Modern Art was oversubscribed and the
two bus loads of Academy members felt
fortunate, indeed, that the Women 's
Oommittee obtained the much-soughtafter tickets.
The Art Safari to Ireland and Scotland
in September included members from
the Delaware Valley area as well as
Georgia and Virginia. Visits to museums,
great houses , palaces , gardens and
castles were all part of the grand design.
Mrs. George Reath and Mrs. Scott
Adamson helped Mrs. Greenfield plan
the trip.
Local color was showcased when an
art trip to "Garberland" in May was
arranged by Mrs . Kenneth W. Gemmill
prior to the opening of the Daniel Garber
exhibition. The day in Bucks County was
thoroughly enjoyable and I was fortunate
to be able to arrange a visit en route to
the Huntingdon Valley studio of one of
Mrs. Garber 's former students, the wellknown Academy artist Arthur Meltzer
and his artist wife , Paulette Van
Roekens. They recounted many tales of
life at the Academy in the days of Mr.
Garber and other former teachers.
We sadly report the death of one of
our longtime members, Mrs. James
M. R. Sinkler. Her daughter; Mrs. Peter
J. Knop, is now an Associate Member.
We were delighted to welcome Mrs.
Henry Mitchell as a new member.
We look forward to our next major
project - a subscription party on
September 16 to open the Contemporary
American Realism Since 1960 Exhibition.
The chairman of the gala opening, Mrs.
Harry R. Neilson , Jr., is arranging the
reception and dinner parties in honor of
the artists and lenders.
We also enjoy visiting students '
studios, docent briefings on new exhibitions, and of greatest importance, being
an integral part of the Academy. To
each of the dedicated members of the
Women's Committee and the members
of the Academy who are so loyal in supporting our functions, I wish to extend
my sincere thanks .

REPORT OF
THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT.
MEMBERSHIP AND PUBLIC RELATIONS
The accomplishments of anyone of the
many responsibilities of the Development Department would make 1980
noteworthy. As a total picture , the 175th
anniversary was a year that augurs well
for the future.
Membership
Elaine Breslow
Stiff competition in a city with so many
cultural institutions was not an issue. We
counted six + new members for every
working day. The excellence of the
Academy's programs and services are
interpreted as the reason for the overwhelming increase in the total number of
new members.
Membership events attracted
increased numbers of persons because of
their variety and originality. We have and
will continue specialized tours , talks,
subscription dinners during specific exhibitions , trips , vault and conservation
laboratory visits, invited celebrities, and
opening receptions to our special and
contemporary exhibitions.
We owe the vitality of this department
to the unique brand of hospitality offered
by Mrs . Josephine Evans, Membership
Coordinator, and Mrs. Anna Mang ,
Membership Secretary.
Public Information
Susan Rappaport , Public Information
Coordinator , achieved publicity for the
Academy in many new areas: the
175th Anni versary Block Party received
media attention allover Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania; the Jamie Wyeth exhibition was publicized by nationally known
magazines and by television and radio
programs such as the "Today Show"
(NBC) , with Tom Brokaw interviewing
Jamie Wyeth in the galleries; "Sunday
Morning " (CBS), with Heywood Hale
Broun touring the show with the artist;
and by "Voice of America ," which
beamed interviews with the artist and
with Richard Boyle to twenty-nine countries. Local television and radio were
generous in coverage of Academy
events, and where would we be without
The Inquirer and The Bulletin.
28
A la Campagne, Alfred Stevens
The result has been doubled attendance, a greatly increased membership,
new funding opportunities and more requests for information and features
about the Academy. The 175th year at
the Academy notably increased its
" public relations."
Fund Raising
The year was dramatic for the Academy,
which raised $982,500, or just under
three times more than the previous
year's $333,700. This is directly attributable to participation by board
members who made special efforts in
their own giving and to open doors in the
categories of individual giving, corporate
giving and foundation giving . It is attributable also to the intense and spirited
cooperation of every member of the
Development Department - fund raising, membership, and public information .
Of course, without curatorial and educational staff vitality and originality, the
above attributes could not have taken
place.
Creative concepts were funded by
Smith Kline Corporation and Rohm and
Haas . For the first time some very important and ongoing programs and
services were funded by The Sun Company, The Reliance Insurance Company,
Provident National Bank and The Pew
Memorial Trust. We owe them much.
Mentioned in this report are the many
other corporations and trusts who gave
as never before and generously to what
one corporation donor described as the
"eye-opener" of the year. Another corporate executive said , "and come back
next year; we'll do better."
In 1980 we tried an annual drive to
match four government grants. Its
1 + 1 = 2 theme proved amazingly
successful both as a concept and financially. A special nod of appreciation
must be extended to all who helped us
with their double-duty dollars. We also
owe a great deal to our coterie of
volunteers who gave hours of dedicated
service which we are unable to evaluate.
I am extremely grateful to Mrs. Mary
Hall, Mrs. Eleanore A. Thomas, and Mrs.
Joy S. Harbeson for their sensitive and
thoughtful assistance in the execution of
this program.

REPORT OF
THE ADMINISTRATOR AND AUDITOR'S OPINION
On the brighter side , our investment
portfolio has benefited to the extent of
unrestricted capital gains of $102,959
and an additional $253 ,086 of gains in
our endowment fund.
Note 2 to the financial statements
points up the fact that the market value
of our stocks and bonds exceeds their
carrying value in the financial
statements at December 31 , 1980 by
$2,474,486 while at the same time
generating somewhat higher yields
compared to the prior year .
Adm inistration
Harvey Gold
Finances
Financial results for the Academy 's
fiscal year ended December 31,
1980, reflect in the statement of activity
an excess of $18,484 of support and
revenue over expenses after capital
transactions. We are still troubled,
however, by insufficient unrestricted
support and revenue needed to meet
day-to-day operational needs, as
evidenced by the $165,011 deficiency in
the current unrestricted fund.
In line with our continuing efforts to
establish organizational consistency and
to provide better controls and more
accurate information to management,
we have now begun to fully integrate the
Peale Club operation with the other
Academy activities .
Similarly, our Business Office has
taken on the responsibility of the Bursar
functions of the School , including
financial compliance with the
appropriate federal and state agencies
relating to the various programs of aid to
students.
In recapitulating the Academy's
activities for the year, it seems
appropriate to express gratitude for the
help and invaluable advice given to this
office by the Chairmen and members of
the Finance, Properties and Peale Club
Committees, with special thanks to our
Treasurer and Legal Counsel.
Finally, I would like to record my
personal appreciation for the dedicated
efforts of the staff of the Administrator 's
Office, Business Office, Peale Club,
Museum Shop, School Store , and
personnel in Reception, Cashier,
Security and Maintenance departments
of both our buildings who have been
faithfully providing necessary supporting
services to the Museum iJ.nd the School.

Aud itors' Opin ion
To the Board of Trustees
of the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts:
We have examined the balance sheet of
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts (Academy) as of December 31,
1980 and the related statements of
activity and of changes in fund balances
(deficit) for the year then ended. Our
examination was made in accordance
with generally accepted auditing
standards and, accordingly , included
such tests of the accounting records
and such other auditing procedures as
we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
In our opinion , the accompanying
financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Academy as of
December 31,1980 and the results of
its operations and changes in fund
balances for the year then ended , in
conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis
consistent with that of the preceding
year , except for the change , with which
we concur , to an alternatively
acceptable reporting format for donorrestricted funds, as described in Note 1
to the financial statements.
Our examination was made for the
purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a
whole. The supplemental schedule of
expenses is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements .
Such supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the examination of the ba~ic
financial statements and, in our OpiniOn,
is fairly stated in all material respects
when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole .

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1980
• Current Funds - unrestricted and
restricted resources, represent that portion of the Academy's expendable funds
available for support of the Academy's
operations.
• Plant Fund represents resources expended or restricted for acquisitions of
property.
1. CHANGE IN REPORTING FORMAT AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Change in Reporting Format - Th e Academy
in 1980 has changed to an alternatively ac·
ceptab le presentation for reporting donorrestricted contributions , grants , gifts , etc.
whereby it recognizes as revenue the full
amount of such resources when received. In
the prior year, the Academy recognized such
restricted revenues only to the extent that
related expenses had been incurred. At
December 31 , 1979, $715,599 of received but
restr icted revenues were included in the Cu rrent (Operating) Fund as deferred revenue. At
January 1, 1980, this amount was reclassified
to fund balance in the Current Fund Restricted. For the year ended December 31,
1980, the $165,073 excess of restricted
revenue over related expenses is included as
revenue in the accompanying statement of
activity.
Th e accompanying financial statements of
the Academy have been prepared on the
accrual basis . Th e 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 self-balancing
fund groups as follows:
• Endowment Fund represents funds subject to restrictions of gift instruments
requiring that for specified amounts of
time or in perpetuity the principal be invested and generally 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.
Investments - Investments in marketable
equity securities are carried at the aggregate
lower of cost pr market. Investments in bonds
and other debt instruments such as U.S.
Treasury notes are carried at cost. Real
estate he ld 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 -lin e basis over the lives of
the respective fixed assets.
Memberships - Memberships are recognized as revenue when payment is received.
Memberships paid in advance are classified
as deferred revenue.
Restricted Contributions - Contributions
restricted by the donor are recognized as
revenue in the Current Fund-Restricted or as
an increase in the Endowment Fund balance
when recorded as a receipt or pledge.
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 acqu iring art work are recorded as Current Fund-Restricted revenue.
The cost of all art objects purchased or acquired by gift, less proceeds from deaccessions of art objects , is reported in the statement of activity as a separate program
expense.
Functional Expense Allocations - Expenses
of various programs and other activities have
been summarized on a functional basis in the
statement of activity. Accordingly, certain expenses have been allocated among the pro-
grams and supporting services. (See Note 7
for certain items not allocated.)
Capital and Other Additions - Amounts
classified as capital or other additions represent gifts, grants or bequests restricted by
donor to Endowment or Plant Fund eithe r permanently or for a period of time. These 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
The Academy has a limited retirement plan
covering certain retired employees and three
other employees. Based on' the date of the
latest actuarial evaluation , January 1, 1979,
the present va lue of future benefits payable
was approximately $340,000. Pension expense for the year ended December 31, 1980
was $35,782 .
6. AGENCY FUNDS FOR FINANCIAL AID
The Academy is acting as an Agent for a
federal Basic Educational Opportunity Grant
(BEOG), a Supplementary Educationa l Opportunity Grant (SEOG), the College Work Study
(CWS) aid program and a state grant program
of the Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Authority (PHEAA). Authorizations
in the amount of $141,607 were approved to
the Academy during 1980. These amounts
are to be used over two terms, Fall term
1980 and Spring term 1981 . Payments are
made to those approved students who have
successfully completed an eligibility report.
The balance of the grants remaining,
$33,446, represents funds reserved for the
Spring term of 1981.
7. ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES
Certain expenses , such as payroll , insurance ,
retirement , security, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, etc., are classified in ad·
ministration expenses.
8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to year·end, the Board of
Trustees authorized and signed a letter of intent to purchase the Oliver Bair Building at
1820 Chestnut Street for approximately
$1 ,300,000. The Academy intends to purchase the building with money to be borrowed
from the Endowment Fund. The proceeds
from the anticipated sa le of its Chestnut
Street real estate (Peale House) wi ll be ap·
plied to reduce the advance from the Endowment Fund.

Philadelphia 1805 ... The Schuylkill had
been spanned by the Market Street
Bridge. The Society of Friends built a
large meeting house at 4th and Arch
Streets. Believe it or not, ships from the
Port of Philadelphia in 1805 were
actually trading with countries and cities
as far away as China, the East Indies,
Bordeaux, Antwerp, Liverpool, London,
Lisbon, and Versailles . One Oliver Evans
was experimenting with the propulsion of
vehicles by steam , and the sensational
Oructor Amphibolis (generally known as
the Amphibious Digger) had been
devised for cleaning docks. The tolls for
bridges and roads had to be raised, and
the fledgling postal service was observed to be improving! Philadelphians
were busy building and creating a city.
This, then, was the setting for the founding of the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts, oldest museum in America,
one of the oldest in the world, and
America's first and innovative school for
the instruction of students in art.
The Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts was founded in 1805 by some
of the nation's most creative influences,
led by Charles Willson Peale , William
Rush, and Thomas Sully. During that
time, Charles Willson Peale wrote to his
friend Thomas Jefferson who was in the
then "Oval Office": "We hope to begin a
building," and in 1806 the building at
10th and Chestnut opened, Benjamin
West was appointed first honorary president, a cast collection was obtained, and
the great George Clymer, who had
signed the Declaration of Independence,
toiled away as the first President of the
fledging Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts.
Henry S. McNeil with Mrs. Richard
Thornburgh ahd Uta Schubert, recipient of
the Governor's Award
PAFA 1805 -
1980
Yes, we've come a long way. One hundred seventy-five years after its founding, the school teaches more than 450
students from the majority of the states
and more than a dozen foreign countries. The faculty is internationally
known, and one of the five best collections of American art is housed in the
restored Furness building.
In 1856 the Academy celebrated its
50th anniversary. By that time it had a
vital exhibitions program, an expanding
collection, and an excellent school ; it
had come through a disastrous fire and
an enlargement of the building , which
had been mortgaged to acquire its first
work by Benjamin West.
The new and present building at
Broad and Cherry Streets opened in time
for the Centennial. In 1905, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the
American artist William Merritt Chase,
long associated with the school , called
the Academy the most important art
institution in America. The years 1876 to
1905 saw the peak of Academy prestige
and influence. Annual exhibitions showed
the best artists of their times. Thomas
Eakins became Director of the school.
Important additions were made to
the collection.
From 1905 until 1980, the Academy
has continued to build upon its rich
heritage. The building was restored in
1976 and the collection was expanded
further. Contemporary exhibitions were
held of national scope; additional
facilities were added.
Happiness comes with success, but
today 's success doesn't guarantee our
future. Our past merely provides us with
a fantastically successful, historical
pattern to pursue.
Exhibitions and Events 1980
During the 175th Anniversary Year
Our Main Gallery exhibitions were
highlighted by Man of Genius: The Art of
Washington Allston, the 79th Annual
Student Exhibition, and The Art of Daniel
Garber, which was officially opened by
members of the Garber family, and the
first full-scale retrospective East Coast
Exhibition of Jamie Wyeth, another
distinguished member of the Wyeth
family who have been so much a part of
PAFA's history.
Other exhibitions and events were the
creative Morris Gallery exhibitions,
showing native Philadelphia talents; the
Peale House Gallery exhibitions, often
showing works by students and faculty ;
Sunday afternoon concerts; gallery talks
and tours; and our 175th Anniversary
Birthday Block Party, which closed off
Broad Street to the consternation of a
handful of drivers and to the happiness
of the 15,000 men, women, and children
who were our guests.
Membership, Board of Trustees,
and Women's Committee
An all-time record in the general
membership and in the Peale Club has
been achieved. The Charles Willson
Peale Society, with its distinguished
group of significant contributors to the
Finance Report
Henry S. McNeil and John Garber
arts , continues to grow at the Academy.
The brilliant collective minds of 1805
created an American art tradition whose
continued vitality is matched only by its
longevity.
Daniel Dietrich II, John Gribbel II,
Donald E. Meads , and Bertram L. O'Neill
have stepped down from the Board of
Trustees, abiding by the rules of the
rotation of the board. However, we are
fortunate to have now the advice of Mrs.
Elliott R. Detchon, Jr., James Biddle,
Samuel M. V. Hamilton, Mrs. Meyer P.
Potamkin, William L. Grala, Henry F.
Harris, and Mrs. Kenneth Gemmill.
The old advertisement ran, "Never
underestimate the power of a woman."
How well this applies to the Academy .
Planning receptions, staffing events ,
bringing our school and museum to the
attention of the public, the ever-popular
"Safaris," their financial support - all
these are integrated with what we
proudly and appreciatively call "The
Women 's Committee."
The Finance Report provides you with
the fact that the difficult year of 1980
has passed with a relatively miniscule
deficit in cash flow. What it doesn't
recognize, however, are the many other
important facets of the diamond ... the
great benefit of the museum to
Philadelphia, and the impending student
output... the enormous value of our
collection ... and particularly the
important works which far surpass the
deficit and which were donated by
equally important figures in the art
world.
In regard to overall project support,
we happily recognize the specific
generosity of the Pew Memorial Trust,
The Sun Company, Reliance Insurance
Company, Provident Bank, and
Smith Kline Foundation . I would also like
to specially recognize fellow board
members Mr. and Mrs . Samuel M. V.
Hamilton, Mrs . John Wintersteen, and
Mr. and Mrs. Bertram L. O'Neill, who
made our anniversary year a great
success. To Mrs. Ben Wolf go many
thanks for establishing the Morris
Blackburn Memorial Scholarship.
Finally, and on the personal side, my
privileged years as President of the
Pennsylvania Academy have been
interesting, creative, and made
successful by teachers, staff, students,
supporters, committee members, and all
those who share my enthusiasm, regard,
and appreciation for the contribution this
175-Year-Old Lady of Broad and Cherry
Streets makes to our society. Thank you.
May ou r next 175 years be evaluated
by the discerning as even more exciting
than the first.

Changes in Board and Staff
Structure
Accredi tation:
The School and the Museum
The School of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts received accreditation from the National Association
of Schools of Art in 1978. In 1981, the
Museum of the Academy is due for reaccreditation by the American Association
of Museums, whose special Commission
granted accreditation to the Academy in
1973. Accreditation is important both to
the museum concerned and to the profession in general , and I quote from the
Commission's letter to me: "The application of resources to the fulfilling of a
museum's purposes and responsibilities
is a continuing commitment, and the
maintenance of standards is as important as an initial conformity to the profession's efforts to maintain and improve
standards .... the reaccreditation
procedures are designed to point out
major changes in your institution since it
was originally accredited." Therefore ,
before discussing the significant events
of 1980, the Academy's 175th year, let
us review briefly the above " major
changes," some of which occurred
during 1980 - or were approved in
1980 for implementation in 1981.
Criticism by the AAM Commission in
1973 included the general physical state
of the Broad and Cherry building with
particular emphasis on the basement
storage areas, which at the time looked
like a scene straight out of Les
Miserables, and the lack of adequate
climate control and air conditioning . The
AAM Commission also was critical of the
existence of "stockholders ," a
nineteenth-century anachronism in
organizational practice; the lack of a
Richard J. Boyle
In 1974, the Stockholders generously
voted to turn in their shares of stock in
the Academy and the Board of Directors
was renamed Board of Trustees. In 1977
an organization chart was developed,
designating various positions of Board
and Staff. A personnel manual was
developed in 1980, as well as a partial
salary administration scheme, kindly provided by the Provident Bank. Although
more work is needed for that project, it
was consistent with the Academy 's aims
to increase the salary level of our
employees.
Staff Benefits
proper organization chart and a
generally low salary level in comparison
with other art institutions.
Completion of Building
Restoration
If it were not for the Academy's ambitious and ultimately successful plans to
restore its building , our institution very
likely would not have been accredited.
But restore it we did , and in 1976, after
being closed for two years , a sparkling,
practically new building was reopened to
the public. It is a building that had
undergone both historical restoration
and necessary modernization such as a
renovated storage area, air conditioning,
climate control and the latest " state of
the art " in fire protection . In late 1975
our building was designated a National
Historic Landmark by the federal government and was the subject of a special
article in The New York Times by its
architecture editor , Ada Louise Huxtable .
Although the building was reopened during the Bicentennial,. work continued and
the last of it - exterior cleaning - was
finished this year. For the implementation and completion of the project,
thanks are due to many people and

In 1980, the Academy's Board approved
a benefits package of medical and major
medical insurance , life insurance and
retirement benefits for full-time staff and
faculty for implementation in the 1981
budget. It was the first time that such
sweeping reforms in the area of staff
benefits had been proposed in the
history of this venerable institution. They
were the result of a study of the problem
by the firm of Alexander and Alexander ,
most generously funded by the Dietrich
Foundation. In summary, then, we can
look forward with a certain amount of
pride to the on-site visit of the
reaccreditation committee of the AAM
in 1981.
Members' Opening .....
Exhibitions
Significant events in the Academy's
Museum in 1980 included the very important exhibition of the work of
Washington Allston, in collaboration with
the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and
the work of Daniel Garber, with the
generous collaboration of the Garber
family. Both of these exhibitions were
funded in part by the Pew Memorial
Trust. And there was the Jamie Wyeth
exhibition . This exhibition, entirely
funded by the Sun Company, opened to
a general wailing and gnashing of teeth
by the Philadelphia art critics , but nevertheless to the warm response and
delight of the general public. Toward the
end of the year and through the
generosity of the Smith Kline Foundation ,
we began a series of special exhibitions
from the permanent collection. The Morris Gallery exhibitions continued our
policy of showing the work of relatively
unknown contemporary artists with emphasis on artists from Pennsylvania and,
in particular, the Philadelphia area.
These exhibitions have been aided immeasurably by grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
School
Academy school exhibitions, at Peale
House, are organized by the Academy
faculty as part of the curriculum and are
directed primarily toward our students.
Exhibitions in 1980 included the
Fellowship (Alumni) exhibition, The Pennsylvania Academy Schools: Part /I
1876-1900, guest curator, David Sellin ,
and the work of Saul Schary and Harry
Rosin, the former an alumnus and the
latter a distinguished former instructor of
sculpture. These exhibitions are funded
in part by the Women's Committee of
the Academy.
The Academy School's Saturday
classes for talented children from the
Philadelphia school system, funded by
the Merit Gasoline Foundation , the Fels
Foundation, and the Philadelphia Foundation , continue to be a popular form of
"outreach " in the community and a
source for future students for our school.
The Dead Man Restored to Life by Touching
the Bones of the Prophet Elisha, 1811-1813
Peale House
In addition , our President, Henry S.
McNeil, had appointed a special committee to review the condition of the Peale
House. That report was to determine the
future of the Peale House as to whether
we should renovate or dispose of it and
it led to the decision to look into the purchase, ultimately consummated in 1981,
of the Oliver Bair building directly across
Chestnut Street from the Peale House.
Further details on the school are
covered in the report of the Dean.
175th Anniversary Year
Since 1980 was the 175th anniversary
year of the Academy, the single biggest
event in regard to that magic number
was a mammoth birthday block party on
June 8, when Broad Street between
Arch and Cherry Streets was closed off
to accommodate the various activities in
connection with the celebration. At that
time, the Academy honored Robert
Crawford, Philadelphia's Commissioner
of Recreation who has consistently
helped the cultural institutions of
Philadelphia. Commissioner Crawford
read a proclamation from Mayor Green ,
which was heard by roughly 15,000 people who attended the festivities. Special
thanks are due to the City of
Philadelphia and especially to the
Philadelphia Police Department and the
Department of Streets, without whose
help that memorable Sunday would have
been impossible.
Also in connection with the
Academy's birthday year, the U.S. Postal
Service printed a stamp showing our
Broad and Cherry building. It honored
the architect, Frank Furness , who , prior
to the restoration of our building , was
virtually unknown nationally.
However, no event in any area of our
endeavor is possible without a talented
and dedicated staff, all of whom have
made valuable contributions to the
organization. The Academy's Registrar,
Janice Stan land , has been el!?cted
Chairperson of the Registrar's Committee of the AAM, and the executive staff
continues a tradition of Academy visibility by serving on various organizations
throughout the city.
Staff changes include Gale Rawson,
who has replaced Melinda McGough as
assistant registrar. Paul Hagan has
resigned as Chief of Security; his
replacement, Andrew Berko, will be
hired in 1981. Kathleen Foster has
assumed permanent status as Assistant
Curator and Linda Bantel is the guest
curator for two exhibitions, a massive
showing of our sculpture collection in
1984 and a major retrospective of
William Rush in 1982, the latter as part
of our contribution to the city's
Tricentennial in that year .
My report, therefore, is both a summary of the past and a look into the
future . And although the future means a
greater push for financial support, a
problem we share with most of our
sister institutions , it is hoped that the
vitality of our programs and the support
of our community will be very much a
part of the momentum that began with
our accreditation for museum and
school in 1973 and 1978.

REPORT OF
THE CURATOR
Curator Frank Goodyear in the galleries with
Walt Whitman by Thomas Eakins
Annual reports are traditionally the time
to assess the year gone by and to thank
the hundreds of persons - trustees,
staff, volunteers, donors and advocates .
of all sorts - for their special contributions to the overall needs of the museum
program. In the past five years I have
dutifully followed this format, proudly
noting the stature of the Academy as a
museum of American art. Along this line
I hope it is not too forward to say that
the Academy has assumed a position of
leadership among museums in America
in the areas of scholarly and innovative
exhibitions and publications, conservation and acquisition of contemporary
works of art.
This year I hope you will pardon me if
I forego the usual summary of events
format (detailed in the opening pages of
the Annual Report) and rather project
briefly where, in my opinion, the
Academy's museum should be headed
in the decade of the 1980s. What are
the crucial issues and needs facing us?
Of course, we must continue to demand only the very best in every sense
for the permanent collection. It must be
protected and used wisely. We also
must continue to lend real support to the
artistic community, local and national.
We cannot just be a museum of yesterday's art but of yesterday's and today's.
What we also need to address ourselves
to is a new set of concerns:
We must begin the long overdue job
of publishing scholarly catalogues of
the permanent collections (some of
this has been set in motion already
with our plans to publish catalogues
on the American works of art on
paper in 1984 and on American
sculpture in 1985).
Staff of the Museum
12
We must increase the amount of
gallery space available for the exhibition of the permanent collection
(presently we can ol']ly exhibit ten per
cent of the permanent collection at
anyone time and, of course, less
when temporary exhibitions are
William Bailey, Monte Migiana Still Life,
Acquisition, 1980
installed). What we badly need is temporary exhibition galleries so that the
present Academy galleries can be used
exclusively for rotating exhibitions
of the permanent collection . We don't
want the museum to lose its intimate
scale, but we do want to serve our
collection and in turn the public.
We must make the Academy a vital
educational institution that is accessible, meaningful and popular to a
diverse constituency.
None of these are easy objectives
(and there are others as well). The
solutions to these problems will determine in large measure the future role
of the Academy's museum .
I can 't forego (nor would I want to) the
happy responsibility of thanking the
many dedicated persons who worked
hard fo'r the Academy's museum in
1980. Charles E. Mather III, Chairman,
and the other members of the Collections and Exhibitions Committee
provided the museum s,taff with wise
counsel and enthusiastic support. The
museum's program was aided immeasurably by the generous ·support of
.the Pew Memorial Trust, Sun Company,
the National Endowment for the Arts and
the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts . We

depend heavily on such enlightened support to carry out so much of our program.
The museum staff, of course, is one
of its greatest assets. It is impossible for
most of you to know the level of professionalism and loyalty each of them
brings to his job. I cannot detail that
commitment here, but I can assure you
of it. I would personally like to commend
the following persons for their excellent
work in 1980: Kathleen Foster, Linda
Bantel, Joe Amarotico and his staff,
Virginia Naude and her staff, Elizabeth
Kolowrat, Jeanne MacAlpine and the
docents, Janice Stanland and Gale
Rawson, Cathy Stover, Robert Harmon,
Roman Tybinko and Jim Conboy, and
Elizabeth Romanella, my unflappable
assistant, whose dedication to details
has been known to save the day.
Finally, it may be easy in this day of
"shrinking every things" to deny the importance of museums and concomitantly
to reduce our own expectations of what
museums should , can and can't do. This
is false reasoning and rhetoric. Rather
we must require more of our museums,
always looking for ways to serve . The
Academy is ready to meet these
responsibilities.

REPORT OF
THE MUSEUM EDUCATION DIRECTOR
(I
Docents
Elizabeth Kolowrat
Accolades for individual docents almost
never appear in this year-end roundup of
Education Department activities . If they
did , my report would be a li st of praise
too lengthy to print. But this year I would
like to express special thanks to docent
emeritus Eileen Hinkson and to docents
Alice McGovern and Joan Mossey as
they are leaving the Academy.
PAFA docents are remarkable for
many excellent qualities, and the most
demanding aspect of their work is its
continuing variety. The 1980 exhibition
schedule took us from Washington
Allston through Daniel Garber to Jamie
. Wyeth: styles as different as the eras
that produced them and the persona lities of the artists themselves.
Docents were required to study these
special exhibitions against a background
of art history as well as in the Academy
context.
A training class for new docents met
in summer sessions during June and
July. Its eleven graduates, along with our
twenty-five veterans , turned in a spectacular performance of tours for more
than 7000 museum visito rs during the
Jamie Wyeth exhibition. In November
the docents were entertained by
WOCOM at a Peale Club luncheon
organized by Lucy Stimson . This was a
most welcome treat in the middle of our
busiest season; the menu did not include pigs-in-blankets!
Staff
Docent Jeanne MacAlpine is now a parttime staff member in the Education
Department with the title of Program
Consultant. Her work in planning PAFA's
school tour programs has included a
cooperative venture with severa l other
museums for a series of chi ldren 's tours
called Philadelphia: A Port City. Jeanne
also assists with PAFA docent activities :
briefings, scheduling, and trips.
The department's spring semester
intern was Barbara Link, a high-school
senior from Lower Merion who became
a junior docent , working with docent
22
~I
Ruth Preucel on a sequence of museum
lessons for fifth graders from a nearby
middle school. In September an
Academy work-schola rsh ip student, Lisa
Guercio, kept the education office running smooth ly wh ile all avai lab le docents
(myself in c luded) were involved with
Wyeth tours.
Young art lovers
School Tour Program!?
In 1980 the number of school chi ldren
participating in museum lessons (TR IAD
and specia l exhibition tours) increased
agi'\in . Yearly visits to the Academy have
become standard teaching supplements
for schools that have discovered our
program. The Education Department's
attractive new poster also brought us
many c lients this year. But the biggest
problem in developing our school
audience continues to be the transportation gap. A specia l project in connection
with the Jamie Wyeth show brought this
problem sharply into focus when a
$4000 grant from Sun Company enabled us to offer free busing for school
tour groups. In ten weeks we gave tours
for 1900 additional Philadelphia school
ch il dren, only 3 % of whom could have
come to the Academy without free
transportation. As school budgets
become ever tighter, we can only hope
for another "angel" to provide this
essential link between the museum and
the schools.

REPORT OF
THE WOMEN'S COMMITTEE
A Breezy Day, Charles C. Curran
The Women 's Committee sponsored two
interesting projects this year: first, the
formal dinner party to preview the Jamie
Wyeth Exhibition on September 16; and a
luncheon and exhibition tour, also at
the Academy, as part of the National
Conference of the American Association
of Museum Trustees held in
Philadelphia.

Jam ie Wyeth Opening
A committee, chaired by Mmes. Charles
J. Webb II and Scott Adamson , arranged
a gala subscription dinner to open the
Jamie Wyeth Exhibition. The valet parking and the red carpet rolled outside the
Academy 's entrance heralded the
excitement in store for guests attending
the black-tie dinner. An aura of anticipation was pervasive throughout the
rotunda and galleries as the guests were
greeted by special hosts Mr. and Mrs.
Jamie Wyeth; Mrs. John Wintersteen,
the Honorary Chairman for the dinner;
Mrs. Dick Thornburgh; Mr. and Mrs.
Henry S. McNeil and the Honorable and
Mrs. Walter H. Annenberg. Members
from the Women 's Committee also
hosted each table and welcomed the
400 people who attended . Among those
who came to honor Mr. Wyeth was his
friend Andy Warhol, as well as others
distinguished in the art community .
Many prominent members of the Wyeth
family , their friends, associates and
colleagues also attended.
Guests received an illustrated catalogue
and a poster of Mr. Wyeth 's A Very
Small Dog in a special edition signed by
the artist.
Accolades go to the Co-Chairmen as
well as Mmes . Robert W. Preucel, Henry
S. McNeil , J. H. Ward Hinkson, Arthur C.
Kaufmann, Harrison Therman, James W.
Cooke and to all the members of the
Committee who worked through the
summer to make this event a great success. Expecial thanks must be given to
Mrs. Alexandra M. Dial, our Treasurer,
who manages the financial affairs for
our committee in a most professional
way.
Meetings Hosted by Women's
Committee
In preparation for the National Conference of the American Association of
Museum Trustees, hosted by the
Women 's Committees of five
Philadelphia museums , our Women 's
Committee held a luncheon in the rotunda of the Academy in March. Dr.
Thomas W. Leavitt , Director of the
Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at
Cornell University, spoke to volunteers
from the five museums about legislation
in the arts. Mrs. Herbert F. Schiffer arranged the luncheon, followed by a
docent tour of the Washington Allston
Exhibition. At the three-day conference
in October , the Women's Committee
also hosted a luncheon, followed by a
tour of the Jamie Wyeth Exhibition. Each
of the 240 Trustees from all parts of the
country, many of whom had never seen
the Academy , received a souvenir document gift from Mr. McNeil.
Another highlight was a cocktail
reception and subscription lecture by
Gloria Braggiotti Etting at the home of
Mr. Henry Mcilhenny. This event was
underwritten and arranged by Mmes.
Avery B. Clark and Evans Randolph.
Concerts
We are indebted to Mrs. Robert W.
Preucel for organizing the annual series
of Sunday afternoon concerts in the
Academy rotunda , enjoyed , without
charge, by hundreds of members and
visitors.
Special Projects
Mrs. Charles J. Webb II, Jamie Wyeth,
Phyllis Wyeth, and Mrs. Scott Adamson
Andy Warhol and friends at the Jamie Wyeth
Preview Party
Acade my Students' and
Women's Comm ittee
We award many student scholarships
from funds raised by our special events.
We provide luncheon for students and
members of the faculty when student
work is on view in the Peale House
Galleries. Mmes. Harleston R. Wood,
Richard J. Fox, Evan Randolph, Newlin
F. Davis, frederick W. G: Peck , Marcy
W. Behr and Hans Ludvig Lorentzen
have assisted at these luncheons, where
students can exchange ideas and
develop a sense of camaraderie among
their faculty and peers . We are grateful
to Mr . James Lulius , Superintendent of
Peale House , who so imaginatively
plans and supervises the preparation of
the menus.
We contribute substantially to the program "Education through Exhibitions,"
which includes art shows in the Peale
House.
Mrs. Boudinot Stimson arranged a
luncheon for the Women's Committee
and the docents.
The annual Christmas party was held in
the Academy for the entire membership,
their children and the staff. The beautiful
huge tree at the top of the stairs was
decorated once again by Mmes . J. H.
Ward Hinkson, E. Robert Thomas and
John C. Keene .
A new ad hoc "long-range" planning
committee, chaired by Mrs. Lathrop B.
Nelson, Jr., and including Mmes. Robert
W. Preucel, James W. Cooke, Richard J.
Fox, Mary MacGregor Mather, and
Marcy W. Behr, distributed a questionnaire to all members of the Committee.
The results were compiled and are
presently under discussion.
Safaris
Our famous Safaris continued under the
superb direction of Mrs. Albert M.
Greenfield, Jr., with Safaris to
Washington in February and November.
Several national exhibitions were seen
on each occasion and private hospitality,
as only Mrs. Greenfield can provide,
were highlights of these trips. A private
visit and tour at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. David Lloyd Kreeger was a rare
privilege.
A Safari in May to "Pokety," the
country estate of the late Col. and Mrs.
Edgar William Garbisch on Maryland 's
Eastern Shore , was quickly arranged for
100 Academy members when it was
learned that the home would be
dismantled and auctioned within a few
weeks .
A trip to New York in June to see the
Picasso retrospective at the Museum of
Modern Art was oversubscribed and the
two bus loads of Academy members felt
fortunate, indeed, that the Women 's
Oommittee obtained the much-soughtafter tickets.
The Art Safari to Ireland and Scotland
in September included members from
the Delaware Valley area as well as
Georgia and Virginia. Visits to museums,
great houses , palaces , gardens and
castles were all part of the grand design.
Mrs. George Reath and Mrs. Scott
Adamson helped Mrs. Greenfield plan
the trip.
Local color was showcased when an
art trip to "Garberland" in May was
arranged by Mrs . Kenneth W. Gemmill
prior to the opening of the Daniel Garber
exhibition. The day in Bucks County was
thoroughly enjoyable and I was fortunate
to be able to arrange a visit en route to
the Huntingdon Valley studio of one of
Mrs. Garber 's former students, the wellknown Academy artist Arthur Meltzer
and his artist wife , Paulette Van
Roekens. They recounted many tales of
life at the Academy in the days of Mr.
Garber and other former teachers.
We sadly report the death of one of
our longtime members, Mrs. James
M. R. Sinkler. Her daughter; Mrs. Peter
J. Knop, is now an Associate Member.
We were delighted to welcome Mrs.
Henry Mitchell as a new member.
We look forward to our next major
project - a subscription party on
September 16 to open the Contemporary
American Realism Since 1960 Exhibition.
The chairman of the gala opening, Mrs.
Harry R. Neilson , Jr., is arranging the
reception and dinner parties in honor of
the artists and lenders.
We also enjoy visiting students '
studios, docent briefings on new exhibitions, and of greatest importance, being
an integral part of the Academy. To
each of the dedicated members of the
Women's Committee and the members
of the Academy who are so loyal in supporting our functions, I wish to extend
my sincere thanks .

REPORT OF
THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT.
MEMBERSHIP AND PUBLIC RELATIONS
The accomplishments of anyone of the
many responsibilities of the Development Department would make 1980
noteworthy. As a total picture , the 175th
anniversary was a year that augurs well
for the future.
Membership
Elaine Breslow
Stiff competition in a city with so many
cultural institutions was not an issue. We
counted six + new members for every
working day. The excellence of the
Academy's programs and services are
interpreted as the reason for the overwhelming increase in the total number of
new members.
Membership events attracted
increased numbers of persons because of
their variety and originality. We have and
will continue specialized tours , talks,
subscription dinners during specific exhibitions , trips , vault and conservation
laboratory visits, invited celebrities, and
opening receptions to our special and
contemporary exhibitions.
We owe the vitality of this department
to the unique brand of hospitality offered
by Mrs . Josephine Evans, Membership
Coordinator, and Mrs. Anna Mang ,
Membership Secretary.
Public Information
Susan Rappaport , Public Information
Coordinator , achieved publicity for the
Academy in many new areas: the
175th Anni versary Block Party received
media attention allover Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania; the Jamie Wyeth exhibition was publicized by nationally known
magazines and by television and radio
programs such as the "Today Show"
(NBC) , with Tom Brokaw interviewing
Jamie Wyeth in the galleries; "Sunday
Morning " (CBS), with Heywood Hale
Broun touring the show with the artist;
and by "Voice of America ," which
beamed interviews with the artist and
with Richard Boyle to twenty-nine countries. Local television and radio were
generous in coverage of Academy
events, and where would we be without
The Inquirer and The Bulletin.
28
A la Campagne, Alfred Stevens
The result has been doubled attendance, a greatly increased membership,
new funding opportunities and more requests for information and features
about the Academy. The 175th year at
the Academy notably increased its
" public relations."
Fund Raising
The year was dramatic for the Academy,
which raised $982,500, or just under
three times more than the previous
year's $333,700. This is directly attributable to participation by board
members who made special efforts in
their own giving and to open doors in the
categories of individual giving, corporate
giving and foundation giving . It is attributable also to the intense and spirited
cooperation of every member of the
Development Department - fund raising, membership, and public information .
Of course, without curatorial and educational staff vitality and originality, the
above attributes could not have taken
place.
Creative concepts were funded by
Smith Kline Corporation and Rohm and
Haas . For the first time some very important and ongoing programs and
services were funded by The Sun Company, The Reliance Insurance Company,
Provident National Bank and The Pew
Memorial Trust. We owe them much.
Mentioned in this report are the many
other corporations and trusts who gave
as never before and generously to what
one corporation donor described as the
"eye-opener" of the year. Another corporate executive said , "and come back
next year; we'll do better."
In 1980 we tried an annual drive to
match four government grants. Its
1 + 1 = 2 theme proved amazingly
successful both as a concept and financially. A special nod of appreciation
must be extended to all who helped us
with their double-duty dollars. We also
owe a great deal to our coterie of
volunteers who gave hours of dedicated
service which we are unable to evaluate.
I am extremely grateful to Mrs. Mary
Hall, Mrs. Eleanore A. Thomas, and Mrs.
Joy S. Harbeson for their sensitive and
thoughtful assistance in the execution of
this program.

REPORT OF
THE ADMINISTRATOR AND AUDITOR'S OPINION
On the brighter side , our investment
portfolio has benefited to the extent of
unrestricted capital gains of $102,959
and an additional $253 ,086 of gains in
our endowment fund.
Note 2 to the financial statements
points up the fact that the market value
of our stocks and bonds exceeds their
carrying value in the financial
statements at December 31 , 1980 by
$2,474,486 while at the same time
generating somewhat higher yields
compared to the prior year .
Adm inistration
Harvey Gold
Finances
Financial results for the Academy 's
fiscal year ended December 31,
1980, reflect in the statement of activity
an excess of $18,484 of support and
revenue over expenses after capital
transactions. We are still troubled,
however, by insufficient unrestricted
support and revenue needed to meet
day-to-day operational needs, as
evidenced by the $165,011 deficiency in
the current unrestricted fund.
In line with our continuing efforts to
establish organizational consistency and
to provide better controls and more
accurate information to management,
we have now begun to fully integrate the
Peale Club operation with the other
Academy activities .
Similarly, our Business Office has
taken on the responsibility of the Bursar
functions of the School , including
financial compliance with the
appropriate federal and state agencies
relating to the various programs of aid to
students.
In recapitulating the Academy's
activities for the year, it seems
appropriate to express gratitude for the
help and invaluable advice given to this
office by the Chairmen and members of
the Finance, Properties and Peale Club
Committees, with special thanks to our
Treasurer and Legal Counsel.
Finally, I would like to record my
personal appreciation for the dedicated
efforts of the staff of the Administrator 's
Office, Business Office, Peale Club,
Museum Shop, School Store , and
personnel in Reception, Cashier,
Security and Maintenance departments
of both our buildings who have been
faithfully providing necessary supporting
services to the Museum iJ.nd the School.

Aud itors' Opin ion
To the Board of Trustees
of the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts:
We have examined the balance sheet of
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts (Academy) as of December 31,
1980 and the related statements of
activity and of changes in fund balances
(deficit) for the year then ended. Our
examination was made in accordance
with generally accepted auditing
standards and, accordingly , included
such tests of the accounting records
and such other auditing procedures as
we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
In our opinion , the accompanying
financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Academy as of
December 31,1980 and the results of
its operations and changes in fund
balances for the year then ended , in
conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis
consistent with that of the preceding
year , except for the change , with which
we concur , to an alternatively
acceptable reporting format for donorrestricted funds, as described in Note 1
to the financial statements.
Our examination was made for the
purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a
whole. The supplemental schedule of
expenses is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements .
Such supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the examination of the ba~ic
financial statements and, in our OpiniOn,
is fairly stated in all material respects
when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole .

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1980

restricted resources, represent that portion of the Academy's expendable funds
available for support of the Academy's
operations.
• Plant Fund represents resources expended or restricted for acquisitions of
property.
1. CHANGE IN REPORTING FORMAT AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Change in Reporting Format - Th e Academy
in 1980 has changed to an alternatively ac·
ceptab le presentation for reporting donorrestricted contributions , grants , gifts , etc.
whereby it recognizes as revenue the full
amount of such resources when received. In
the prior year, the Academy recognized such
restricted revenues only to the extent that
related expenses had been incurred. At
December 31 , 1979, $715,599 of received but
restr icted revenues were included in the Cu rrent (Operating) Fund as deferred revenue. At
January 1, 1980, this amount was reclassified
to fund balance in the Current Fund Restricted. For the year ended December 31,
1980, the $165,073 excess of restricted
revenue over related expenses is included as
revenue in the accompanying statement of
activity.
Th e accompanying financial statements of
the Academy have been prepared on the
accrual basis . Th e 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 self-balancing
fund groups as follows:
• Endowment Fund represents funds subject to restrictions of gift instruments
requiring that for specified amounts of
time or in perpetuity the principal be invested and generally 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.
Investments - Investments in marketable
equity securities are carried at the aggregate
lower of cost pr market. Investments in bonds
and other debt instruments such as U.S.
Treasury notes are carried at cost. Real
estate he ld 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 -lin e basis over the lives of
the respective fixed assets.
Memberships - Memberships are recognized as revenue when payment is received.
Memberships paid in advance are classified
as deferred revenue.
Restricted Contributions - Contributions
restricted by the donor are recognized as
revenue in the Current Fund-Restricted or as
an increase in the Endowment Fund balance
when recorded as a receipt or pledge.
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 acqu iring art work are recorded as Current Fund-Restricted revenue.
The cost of all art objects purchased or acquired by gift, less proceeds from deaccessions of art objects , is reported in the statement of activity as a separate program
expense.
Functional Expense Allocations - Expenses
of various programs and other activities have
been summarized on a functional basis in the
statement of activity. Accordingly, certain expenses have been allocated among the pro-
grams and supporting services. (See Note 7
for certain items not allocated.)
Capital and Other Additions - Amounts
classified as capital or other additions represent gifts, grants or bequests restricted by
donor to Endowment or Plant Fund eithe r permanently or for a period of time. These 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.
