Thenceforth this narrative concerns itself mainly with the more important incidents. But it should be carried in mind that as a Class and as a whole the special events staged on this grand stage had a deep educational importance. The range of subjects was large, and formed a review of recent accomplishment and contemporary thought. Men set forth, in carefully prepared addresses, the most pertinent matters about the various lines of endeavor they represented - nothing less than descriptions bearing upon the commercial and industrial organization of society, and its larger social characteristics and needs, in the distinct lines of service that were being honored by the formal ceremonies in the Court of the Universe or the Court of Abundance or in Festival Hall, or the Musical Concourse when Festival Hall was too small to hold the audiences.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II LIFE IN THE GROUNDS AFTER the Exposition season began there was a long series of ceremonies and functions, marking the dedications and formal openings of foreign pavilions and State buildings, and the reception of men of eminence whose visits were made the occasions of great gatherings of people to hear discussions of important national and international questions. These occasions were invested with ceremonial observances of impressive character, arranged as we have elsewhere stated, by the Department of Special Days and Events. The 828 special days that were celebrated at the Exposition, and the 966 special event attractions, appealed to a tremendously wide range of interest?there were more days, in fact, than there were in the season; a minor form of miracle achieved by making several days fall on the same date, as, for example, Massachusetts Day, Oklahoma Day, Kansas Day, Hartford, Conn., Day, Atlanta Day, Shriners' Day, Christian Endeavor Day, Optometry Day, and Asiatic Institute Day, all of which fell on June I9- Artd on this day there was a United States Championship Outdoor Swim, an organ recital in Festival Hall, there were concerts by Sousa's Band and the Boston Band, and there was a flight by Art Smith. We have sampled the day, at random. There was an average of six celebrations and special attractions daily, and the Department of Special Days and Events was busy with both hands. The scope of these affairs was broader than any exposition ever attempted before. Nations, States, cities, counties, societies, fraternities, industries, organized families, propagandas, fads, subjects of research, universities, phonograph jobbers, and Scottish clans had days appointed for their especial celebration, exploitation or divertisement.

Download or read book The Early Public Garages of San Francisco written by Mark D. Kessler and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the quarter century from San Francisco's devasting fire of 1906 to the beginning of the Great Depression, as automobiles exploded in popularity, new buildings had to be conceived and constructed to provide parking space and repair facilities. This book studies a number of the resulting public garages that featured facade designs based on historical architectural styles. Considering the garages' function, the facades exhibit a surprising grace and nobility. Through an analysis complemented by photographs (including sixty by noted architectural photographer Sharon Risedorph) and drawings, the author dissects the architectural and cultural factors that lie at the heart of this unexpected merit. Addressing the discrepancy between the buildings' beauty and the assumption that old garages are unsightly and disposable, the book examines them as cultural artifacts of the dawn of the Motor Age. The garage is presented as a new form of transportation depot, employing architectural symbolism to celebrate the ascendancy of the automobile over the train. Today, the surviving buildings are vulnerable to real estate development, in part because their quality is misunderstood. The book--a fresh perspective on the value of older utilitarian buildings--concludes with a call to preserve these structures and adapt them to compatible new uses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Realizing the century-old dream of a passage to India, the building of the Panama Canal was an engineering feat of colossal dimensions, a construction site filled not only with mud and water but with interpretations, meanings, and social visions. Alexander Missal’s Seaway to the Future unfolds a cultural history of the Panama Canal project, revealed in the texts and images of the era’s policymakers and commentators. Observing its creation, journalists, travel writers, and officials interpreted the Canal and its environs as a perfect society under an efficient, authoritarian management featuring innovations in technology, work, health, and consumption. For their middle-class audience in the United States, the writers depicted a foreign yet familiar place, a showcase for the future—images reinforced in the exhibits of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition that celebrated the Canal’s completion. Through these depictions, the building of the Panama Canal became a powerful symbol in a broader search for order as Americans looked to the modern age with both anxiety and anticipation. Like most utopian visions, this one aspired to perfection at the price of exclusion. Overlooking the West Indian laborers who built the Canal, its admirers praised the white elite that supervised and administered it. Inspired by the masculine ideal personified by President Theodore Roosevelt, writers depicted the Canal Zone as an emphatically male enterprise and Chief Engineer George W. Goethals as the emblem of a new type of social leader, the engineer-soldier, the benevolent despot. Examining these and other images of the Panama Canal project, Seaway to the Future shows how they reflected popular attitudes toward an evolving modern world and, no less important, helped shape those perceptions.
