Abstract
The World’s Congress Auxiliary of the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 consisted of a series of meetings, run by 19 departments, on almost every scholarly and cultural topic, and ran concurrently with the Fair from May 15 to October 28, 1893. This collection consists of circulars, addresses, reports, and other materials generated by the Departments’ Committees on Arrangements and Organization.
Biographical/Historical
“Not things, but men; not matter, but mind.”
The World’s Congress Auxiliary (WCX) of the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 consisted of a series of meetings on almost every scholarly and cultural topic affecting the rapidly changing society of the 1890s. The congresses were held in the newly built Art Institute of Chicago, and ran concurrently with the Exposition from May 15 – October 28, 1893. The Auxiliary consisted of 19 departments: Woman’s Progress, Public Press, Medicine & Surgery, Temperance, Moral & Social Reform, Commerce & Finance, Music, Literature, Education, Engineering, Art, Government, Science & Philosophy, Labor, Religion, Sunday Rest, Religious Societies, Public Health, and Agriculture. Within these 19 departments, scores of the most prominent national and international leaders in the arts, sciences, business, and theology convened over 200 individual Congresses consisting of thousands of addresses, meetings and symposia.
The task of organizing the World’s Congress Auxiliary, often compared to organizing a great university, fell on Chicago judge, Charles C. Bonney, who served as the Auxiliary’s President. Other officers included Thomas B. Bryan, vice President; Lyman Gage, Treasurer; and Benjamin Butterworth, Secretary. The Woman’s Branch of the Auxiliary was headed by Bertha Honore Palmer as President, and Ellen Henrotin as Vice President.
The World’s Congress Auxiliary was organized as a permanent tribute to the principles of the Exposition, i.e., to promote understanding, intelligence and industry in the rapidly approaching 20th century. In the general announcement circulated by the Committee for World’s Congresses, the organizers of the Auxiliary wrote: “...to make the Exposition complete and the celebration adequate, the wonderful achievements of the next age, science, literature, education, government, jurisprudence, morals, charity, religion, and other departments of human activity, should also be conspicuously displayed as the most effective means of increasing fraternity, progress, prosperity, and peace of mankind.”
Participants, invited from all over the world to take part in the congresses, took up the questions addressed by the departments with enthusiasm, scholarship, and an eye to the social, educational, moral, and cultural changes that were reflected in the exhibits and themes of the Fair. Among the many notable participants in the congresses were: Susan B. Anthony, Jane Addams, William Jennings Bryan, Louis Sullivan, Mary Baker Eddy, and Clarence Darrow.
