So-Called Dollars

WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION
1892-1893
CHICAGO, IL

Purpose: To commemorate 400th anniversary of Discovery of America by Columbus and "to tell the story of the world's progress through those four centuries."

Organization: Our third largest exposition; distinguished by direct Federal sponsorship similar to U.S. Centennial 1876. When first suggested, rivalry among cities was keen, some­times bitter. Congressional Acts 1890 settled issue; set up National Commission to work with World's Columbian Exposi­tion (Company), chartered April 1890. Public subscribed to $10,000,000 stock and bonds of latter; special city bond issue of $5,000,000; Federal grant of $5,000,000.

Site: Almost 700 acres on shore of Lake Michigan, mainly Jackson Park, then barren area. Only Fine Arts Palace remains. Rebuilt in limestone, by private gift of $5,000,000, it now is Museum of Science and Industry, called by many "a permanent World's Fair."

Dates, Attendance: "Dedication" Oct. 21, 1892 (correspond­ing to Oct. 12, 1492); 125,000 present; lunch served to 70,000! Officially opened May 1, 1893 by President Cleveland; closed Nov. 2, 1893. Attendance over 27,500,000; 21,500,000 paid.

Participants: President Harrison invited "all the nations of the earth to take part…by sending such exhibits…as will most… fully illustrate their resources, their industries and their pro­gress in civilization." All states and territories and 50 foreign countries represented, 36 of former and 17 of latter erecting own buildings. Total exhibits exceeded 50,000; numerous Federal displays included Mint Exhibit.

Comment: Twelve major exhibition Palaces plus 200 other buildings brought "250 acres under roof," creating spectacular "White City." Neo-classic architecture gave "breadth, freedom and largeness of scale to all future planning and design of World's Fairs"; influenced design of public buildings for decades; Manufactures Building was "greatest on earth." Elec­tricity was in infancy; first exposition use for "lavish illumina­tion." Among features were Edison's phonograph, linotype, Pullman cars; initial showing of Westinghouse A. C. generator, basis of future lighting and power; first Ferris Wheel was equaled as attraction "only…by Fair itself"; was greatest single enterprise on grounds.

Medals: Official Medals below were struck in Mint Exhibit on grounds. Exposition was "well commemorated in metal." For Pax Dollar, see Part I, Louisiana Purchase Exposition--1904.
