Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catholic Educational Exhibit, World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893: Circular of Information and Directions, May 1, 1893 Other communities sent assurances of co-operation. The subject of a Catholic educational exhibit at the Columbian Exposition was fully discussed. Its many advantages were pointed out. It was the unanimous sentiment of the meeting that those engaged in the work of Catholic education should make the best possible use. Of this most favorable occasion to show the world what the Catholics in the United States are doing for'educa tion. It can not be doubted that much of the prejudice we have to encounter springs from ignorance of what we are and what we are doing. Such an exhibit as the Catholic schools can make will surely serve to enlighten the-public and to allay prejudice. The conference agreed that the work of preparation should begin as soon as possible, and to this end a board of directors was named, and a committee, consisting of Rev. E. A. Higgins, S. J., President, St. Ignatius College, Chicago; Professor Maurice F. Egan, LL.D., Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, Ind., and William J. Onahan, LL.D., Chicago, was appointed to draw up a Circular of instructions for the guidance of educators in preparing for the Exhibit. This pamphlet was issued in December, _ 1890, and mailed to Catholic schools, academies, colleges, etc. Meetings of the board of di rectors were subsequently held in Chicago, Ill., in.the rooms of the Columbus Club on July 1, 1891, and in St. Louis, mo., at the Lindell Hotel on November goth, 1891, and at the latter meeting it was resolved that a report of the board of Directors be submitted to the Most Reverend Archbishops, representing that the board had concluded its labors, which were merely prelimi nary, and suggesting the appointment of competent Executive Officers, and the providing of funds for the proper installation and all other matters connected with the Catholic Educational Exhibit in 1893.
