Preface .

The year 1 90 3 being the centennial of the Louisiana Pur

it l chase, seemed to me that such an historic date shou d be associated with the production of a census of the Americ an s P o Student in aris , together with biographical sketches of th se

artists who in the mother city of the Fine Arts , by their achieve

n e the ments , are augmenti g th ir laurels and adding lustre to

fair name of their native land .

The P bei n t o student population of aris g j a certain extent ,

s an ever changing one , it has been found impossible to make thi census absolutely complete ; but there will be found in it the

8 r names of at least 0 pe cent . of the American Students who have

. studied there at some time durin g the year 1 90 3 . With this census is published short histories of the Ameri

i n . : can institutions the French capital , viz The four American

A c churches , the American Art ssociation , and the Ameri an

’ Students Club for Women . m It is to be regretted that while artists , both men and wo en ,

have provided for them comfortable homes , in the form of

en c ur their clubs , the students of music have no protection or o a m n ff ge e t o ered to them .

The merit of authenticity is claimed for the biographies herein published ; as each person has personally given his or her

biography and their photograph with their signature thereon .

This work will not have been undertaken in vain i f able

8 ’ merican t den ts Cen sus Paris . A S u , a n d ambitious young Americans are inspired by these examples t o attempt and t oemulate the achievements of their fellow coun

r men t y .

In taking the census of the American students in Paris this

“ e I w co- y ar , wish to ackno ledge the operation of the Paris e New Yor k H erald c dition of the , of the various Art S hools , a n d of the Professors of music .

o I e c To C untess Mario Venturini b g to dedi ate this , the

3 i o t he A 1 0 ﬁrst ed ti n of merican Students Census , Paris , 9 3 , “ a n d ho e her p worthy act of assistance , which has made pos sible the publishing of this book as a souvenir of the greatest p eaceable transfer of territory ever made from one nation to a nother may be duly appreciated and ﬁnd many imitators . ’ ’ American S tudeii C ts en sus,P ari s .

d e a Gilbert Motier, marquis Lafayette quittant vingt ans ' sa femme arman t a com j eune , une frégate ses frais pour aller ' re battre les Anglais dans les rangs des insurges américains , venant en France chercher d u secours pour se battre a nouveau

— a contribué puissamment a fonder les Etats Unis .

Mais ainsi que le reco n n ai t le professeur John Seeley, la

. ’ ’ toute puissance de l Amé rique est venue des possibilités qu elle l a eu de se grouper en groupe compact e long d u littoral . Si les

E e d is ers es e un s s tats avai nt été p , separ s les des autre par des

’ c olonies etrangeres j amais ils n euss en t conquis cc beau titre ’ - d E t at s Unis . Ce fut Napoléon qui en vendant la Louisiane aux Etats

’ a l Un i on et Unis , permit de se développer de devenir la grande

’ - le s puissance qu elle est maintenant , telles sont propres expres s ions d u professeur John Seeley .

Bonaparte n e prit pas s a résolution a la legere . Ce fut la

’ “ crainte de voir les Anglais s empar-er de la Louisiane et couper ” ’ - les Etats Unis qui l en gagé ren t a la vendre . Quand Monroe arriva en France il trouva les négociations

’ e ntamées pour l achat d u territoire de la Nouvelle Orléans . Le

- ministre des Etats Unis en France, Robert Livingstone les avait d éja entamées .

It is impossible not to recognize the fact t hat F ran c e has aided by her many acts in the foundation of t he great American

“ he fought against the English! Returning to Franc e for recruits to succor the courageous combatants ﬁghting for their rights , he again joined the American forces and contributed greatly t o the formation Of the United States . “ Professor John S eeley says : But it is also n ecessary to recognize that the all — powerful America understood how to group together her own forces and to form them compactly along the

I ” “ t was Napoleon , thus continues Professor John Seeley , who in selling Louisiana to the United States , permitted the develop ment of the Union and to become the great and powerful country ” - that she is to day .

’ Bonaparte s resolution was taken after deliberation . He was a fraid that the English w o uld seize and take possession of Louisi “ ” so ana . thus dividing the States , cutting them up , to speak ; hence his decision to sell Louisiana .

million francs . The delegates from the United States not having f the authorization for such an important sale , o fered ten millions ,

territory for sixteen million francs — eleven million being repre

- Speak in such terms to day . I give this information as I receive it from Ameri can s u F f o rces , our rench historians a ﬁrm that Napoleon sold Louisi

e The lat President Benjamin Harrison , at a banquet given l th in Paris at the Hotel Continenta , July 4 , said these words that went to the heart and touched deeply every Frenchman pres “ : ent If America ever forgets all that France has done for her, she will be unworthy an international friendship . We have many

‘ in America can well bear comparison with that Of Older coun tries . Without the vast and impo rtant accumulations of musical

- wealth possessed by all Europe , and without the traditions upon

1 620 which to found their labors , the work accomplished from

I 0 ffe e to 75 was in e ct , and in fact , the sam as had occupied cen t uri es t hou hful of development in Europe . The g student will ﬁnd that the musical culture of America of to — day is a tree of native growth ; that it ﬁrst struggled through the uncongenial soil of the earliest se ttlements of New England amid the most adverse and unsympathetic conditions , and had its origin With the stern prosaic

Pilgrims and Puritans of the early days . The Bay Psalm Book as used in the churches Of Salem and Ipswich as early as 1 667 and in 1 68 2 was adopted by Plymouth and was the on ly work used in the churches of New England . It passed through some thirty editions , the last of which was printed

1 6 0 printed in Boston , in 9 , and was Without bars except to divide t h e lines .

1 1 2 In 7 , Rev . M r . Tufts , pastor of Newbury , published the first practical musical instruction book printed in America . The music was purely choral , the only style at that day in use , and out of the thirty- seven tunes all but one were in the common m eter .

I 1 2 1 . s n 7 , Rev Thomas Walker , of Roxbury , Mas , pub “ lished a singing book entitled The Grounds of Music Ex ”

plained , which was the ﬁrst music printed with bars in America .

‘ As early a s before the War O f the Revolution there had been

O peratic pieces given in New York, by companies from the Old

\N 1 b ut e or d , these did not m et with the approval of the Pilgrim f athers .

1 - P In the season of 793 94, a new theatre was opened in hila d elphia , by an Operatic company from London . Operas were n o w also becoming more popular in New York .

1 2 In 74 the first organ was built in America . It was con s B ro mfi eld 1 tructed in Boston , by Edward ; and in 773 a band was Of established in Boston , consisting fifty performers , by , Io s iah Fa Flagg, with which he gave public concerts at neuil

a The ﬁrst noted Americ n composer was William Billings ,

who t h 1 . was born in Boston , on the 7 of October , 749 He , by

m . any, is regarded as the founder of American church music However it was not until about 1 779 that he became fairly and e ff e u ectively mbarked pon his work, which , crude , unreﬁned

a n d even commonplace as it was , marked a great advance upon

a n ything that had preceded it . m In William Billings we ﬁnd the ﬁrst original co poser , and

t he m pioneer of a new era of usical progress , which continued

1 8 0 0 . until his death , in

Following closely after , and even succeeding William Bil

l . l . ings , we ﬁnd Dr Lowell Mason , the founder of nationa music

charge Of the work . This may be regarded as the Magna Charta of musical edu in m cation A erica .

a e At the of twenty he had his ﬁrst compositions published , g m which passed through so e seventeen editions .

‘ One Of his le ctures On the subject of the elevation of music

was e for public worship , published and received such favorabl

years of age . At the present time composers of works conceived upon a large scale are nearly as plenty as composers of symphonies in

Germany . Among the earliest compositions of note by American com “ n e posers , may be mentioned the Arcadian Sympho y , by Georg 1 8 F . Bristow , ﬁrst produced in 74 . “ e e Next cam the Cent nnial Cantata , by Dudley Buck . This cantata was composed t o celebrate the 1 0 0 t h an n ive r

sary of American Independence , and was performed for the ﬁrst

and science , and when the same year , it was proposed to devote

a program entirely to American composition , it was with some

f Ho di ﬁculty that this proposition found a proper response . w e e b ver , such rapid strid s have een made in composition , by the

A - merican composer , that to day their compositions are to be

found included in t he repertoire of the best European artists .

e u American compositions of note includ every form of m sic ,

from the song or piano piece to the oratorio or symph o ny .

Though America cannot boast of a Wagner , Beethoven or

U o 1 8 pon his return from Eur pe , in 79 , he settled at Boston , where he soon made a reputation as a masterly colorist . He was a man of very independent views , resolved , in his own words , “ ” to see nature with his own eyes . His best known portraits are t those of Washing on, which is in the Boston Athenaeum ; of

o i was break the Revolutionary War , and it was not until peace

— restored that it be gan t o re assert itself . Hitherto native artists lfad devoted themselves almost exclusively to portrait painting .

o f It was John Trumbull , who had taken part in the War Inde

e f ro m ’ o rt rait W st in London , made a transition p painting to the gloriﬁcation Of his country i n pictures representing the warlike

t he achievements Of her sons . Inﬂuenced and encouraged by

s P uccess of his brother artist , Copley , Trumbull wrote to resident “ Washington Offering to preserve the memory of every national ” e ac vent by a monumental work . This patriotic proposal was

c e ted p , and how well Trumbull carried out his idea is shown by t he series Of mural paintings which embellished the Capitol of 1 8 1 Washington in 7 , and the subj ects of which were pages from

the histo ry of the War of Independence .

1 8 1 8 In , Washington Allston returned to Boston from ’ n Of Londo , where he , too , had been a pupil West s , and became

known as a painter of Scriptural and historical scenes . He also

achi eve d /c elebrit as a ainter of portraits and landscapes , and y p “ r H e was much lauded fo his poetic vein . has been called the A ” merican Titian . With the death of Allston , which took place

W urt em Copley was Emmanuel Leutze , an American , born at i . t berg It was sa d of him hat he was , in art , more royal than

o the King But he had been trained in the German scho l , and

s o the great was his fame that , because of circumstance of his u n st dies having been made in that cou try , Germany , for a time ,

took the place , hitherto occupied by Italyand England , as an art

school for Americans . Among those of these latter who studied

1 11 e : H w the German schools w re enry Po ell , Henry Gray , and

E o dward White , all of whom empl yed their talents upon his

ri t o cal pictures . Another remarkable American painter was William Sidney

Mount . He began life as a farmer . When he eventually dis a l c rded the plough for the brush , he adopted the ife of American

n e ro e-s n country folks and g , traveli g about the place in a studio b l e uilt on whee s , s lecting as he went such scenes and subj ects as most appealed to hi s sense o f art ; and as the most original work produced by American artists in those days was done in the ﬁeld

o f landscape , he was probably Wise in his generation Among the prominent landscape painters of may be i men t On d : . . .

o f Till that date , although America had produced a number th . e artists of talent , it had no school of painting But ambition to stand on a level with other nations in the realm of art w as f the ast gaining ground in New World . When Paris ﬁrst commenced to be regarded as the center of

Of had e rt , the theories Courbet and Fontainebleau not yet becom

r B u r au l . o e e popu a in France g had j ust made a name , and

Ge o . I r me had become a household word t was , therefore , only natural that the Americans who came to Paris should turn t o

n these masters . O e of the earliest of the young Americans to h enter the atelier of Gerome was Arthur Bridgman . Among t e f e : . O o others were Julius L Stewart , also a pupil G r me ; Henry d Humphrey Moore , Alexander Harrison and the late E win Lord

Weeks . “ s n o With wonderful instinct these young men , re trained by artistic traditions sought out the masters destined to rule the “ fo llo wm art of the future , and g the instinct born of the eternal

ﬁt n es s o f e u an d things , plac d themselves nder their guidance ,

a n l bored with the characteristic e ergy of their race , bringing to bear upon their work the technical ability that always distin " uishes caree r an d g the genuine American student in every , made for themselves in Europe names destined , sooner or later , to bring a rich return to the land Of their birth . P But aris has remained the Mecca for American students ,

as as , indeed , it is for the students of every country . As early

1 86 P E x os i 7 the section devoted to American art , at the aris p 1 8 8 O f . tion , occupied three sides a small gallery In 7 America was represented by a still larger number of pictures that were , . O i 1 88 also , of a superior merit . At the Exposition 9 the Ameri can art section was one of the best on view .

I 1 0 0 P Of n 9 , the Director General of the aris Exposition

the United States section was but a brilliant annex of the French ” “ c se tion , and that , the ambition of American artists is , evidently , to interpret the world of to - day ; but that they have come to us ” “

et . to g their method of expression He added , It would b difﬁcult to -mention many men who do not draw their i n spi rat o n ” directly from French masters .

uh However , much of the success of the American artist is d oubtedly due t o the public spirit and gene rous aid given by the foremost institutions of art and to those connoisseurs , who have h by means of sc olarships , both at home and abroad , encouraged an d enabled students of art to realize all that is best and highest in m their do ain .

“ forming the bulk of the membership . While , however , the great

The ﬁrst home of the association was at 1 3 1 Boulevard s P A . . . n Montparnas e , aris , which was selected by M r A Anderso , the founder of the association and its ﬁrst president . Having P th once been a aris art student himself , and not forgetful of e l Of oneliness his student days , he generously bent his efforts to the e t b th s a lishing of this suitable home for student life , where , with e aid he of a few Paris friends , he succeeded in duly installing t

’ Am erican Studen t s Club for Wom en .

’ The American Art Students Club for Women , better known

’ 1 8 1 perhaps , as the American Girls Club , was founded in 9 , by ’ V V hit law . f . e the joint e forts of M rs Reid , and M rs William

Newell .

- The club consisted originally of a reading room , a library , an d - t o an afternoon tea room , and was open daily all American

at 1 R ue women students in Paris . It was then situated 9

Vavin t o , close the Boulevard Montparnasse , and in what has “ ” been called the AmeriCan corner of the Quartier Latin Placed

' fre uen teE as it was , within easy distance of many of the most q

u n ll e c i f u st dios , the club soo fulﬁ ed the exp tat ons o its genero s

an d ec f o r en d ez — vous o f founders , b ame a av rite for the students

r e o e the Quartie , as well as for thos m re distant ones who w re o ll attracted by its reputati n for comfort and quiet , as we as , prob

l - l . e ux ab y , by the fame of its afternoon tea Besides these hom “ v l w ries , re igious services ere held in the club on Sunday evenings ,

fﬁ n . o the Rev William Newell o ciati g , and the congregati n on these occasions being fo rmed of both men and women students .

a it s the club Between two and three ye rs after foundation ,

in e Vav . R ue de C e e was transferred from the Rue to No 4 h vr us ,

n t as in the same eighborhood . The scope of the ins itution w

u e e of then enlarged , thro gh the continu d generosity and int rest

. e all M rs Whitelaw Reid . Hith rto the club had achieved that the name implie s ; but hence-forth it was to acc ommodate boarders

’ — as as well . A handsome table d hote dining room w added to the

- - library and tea rooms already existing , and thirty eight girl stu d o ents were l dged in the club .

" e The resid nts at No . 4 Rue de Chevreuse are chieﬂy art stu

e the u dents , and , ind ed , by rules of the institution , only fo r

students of music are accep ted . The reason fo r this regulation is that the American girls who come to Paris to study are more

’ n n ts Cen sus aris . Ameri ca Stude , P

u n merous in the art section than in the musical ; therefore , as the t accommoda ion at the club is limited , when there is a vacancy ,

h r f - c t e e eren ce . , p is given to the art student But the well sto ked library is free to any American w omen students who give suit able credentials as to their nationality and work . w During the slack season , that is to say, hen some of the

s s students are ab ent on their summer holiday , American ladies ,

P u . passing through aris , are received as paying g ests ’

On . the ground adj oining the club is St Luke s Chapel , in connection with the American Church of the Holy Trinity , l ’ lm A a . Avenue de . The Rev Isaac Van Winkle is the minister ' f in charge o St . Luke s Chapel . The Rue de Chevreuse is one of the most quiet streets in

o f Paris , and the club has more the aspect of a private house than a public institution . This latter characteristi c is particularly evi d ent when the visitor has passed the threshold and fai rlv entered

- the establishment , and seen the home like air that is apparent u s pon every side , and the pretty garden , with its secluded seat d an . benches , inviting the tired students to repose or read

Of The Directress the club , Miss Ackley, is a popular mem l m be r of the American co ony in Paris . She is a lady of handso e

. eu in rue de Grenell Here , after services , she served tea and co ur e ag d a social hour among those in attendance . As the months passed by the interest in these meetings in

f h e creased . At the beginning o t e second year it b came necessary to secure larger accommodations and for several days M rs . Van

P O f P Pelt , accompanied by Rev . Dr . axton , hiladelphia , drove

vo i tur e about the Latin Quarter in a hired , in search of more

commodious quarters in which to hold these services . They

R . ﬁnally engaged the Académie Vitti and e v. Dr Paxton took charge and held these Sunday evening meetings in the same roo m where many of the students had spent’ the past week at work in the school .

i vm Dr . Paxton . entered the work heart and soul , g g it his entire time and attention , with the result that the interest and attendance steadily continued to increase , and it was unanimously regretted by both pastor and congregation when Dr . Paxton was recalled to Philadelphia .

Among other ministers who have succeeded Dr . Paxton was ’

. . n Dr Davis , of St Paul , M in , and Rev . Sylvester W . Beach , the

i n present pastor, who has succeeded still improving on the suc c ess of his predecessors .

’ Dr . Beach took charge of the Students Atelier Reunions in 1 0 1 December of 9 , and has continued to hold these weekly Sun day Evening Services at the Académie Vitti during the past three years . 93 ’ Ameri can Stu den ts Cen s s Pari . u , s

By his untiring energy and efforts he has succeeded in in d ucin g the best American and French artists in Paris to weeklv furnish a musical programme at these meetings for the beneﬁt

the of students and their friends .

The services thus include a ﬁ rst — class concert and a good h l t . e o and wholesome sermon by Dr Beach , which ps prepare the

’ students for the coming week s work . ' I n e . : Sp aking of his labors , Dr Beach says Every State in

‘ re re the United States and almost every important city , are p

— V sented by students in the line of arts in its arious branches ,

m e . usic , lan ua , etc “ g g Most of them will return home sooner or later , and upon their character depends in large part the future of art and culture

i n America .

“ " The ministries of a clergyman as friend , counsellor and

h o elper , are manifold , and a work like this should str ngly appeal

to the patriotism of American people . Loyalty to our own should lead us to follow our students ’ colony in Paris not only with the

’ a rm G but of our overnment s protection , also with the benign ” r ministries of Christian sympathyand se vice .
