First Draft of a System of Classification for the World's Columbian Exposition (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from First Draft of a System of Classification for the World's Columbian Exposition
I am satisfied that more is expected of the Chicago Exhibition than of any previous undertaking of the kind, and that a pronounced de parture from traditional methods and the introduction of features new, useful and improving are the conditions of a magnificent success.
Since 1876 a notable change in the theory and practice of exhibition administration has taken place. Magnificent as was the success of the Philadelphia exhibition in its day, if it could be reproduced exactly in Chicago in 1892, it would probably not be considered at all a remark able affair.
