"The assemblage of produEls of the world* s thought and industry were vain, if it were done but to call forth pride in the ac- complishment of 'Today. 70 the degree that it inspires loftier ideals and nobler purposes, and to the extent that it stimulates not only material, but spiritual growth- to such extent and to such degree alone can the measure of its success attain. The effeEl wrought upon human progress and world betterment by the Panama- Pacific International Ex- position, whose gates have but recently closed at San Francisco, the legacy that it has bequeathed to the chil- dren of men, and the heritage of the millions who came to drink inspiration from the fountains of this great world-university, have been pointed out by thousands of thinking men and women of national and interna- tional importance^ who have written to us in expression of their interpretation of the lessons which the Expo- sition has inculcated. Their letters, full of the deepest feeling^ of the profoundest understanding, and of rare literary charm, were so forceful, so compelling, that it is to be regretted that more could not be here presented. W^e are able to publish the epitome of a few, only, of the thousands received. There were many, whose use is prevented by lack of space, that clearly indicated that the writers had been permeated by the spirit of the Ex- position : that they saw and understood the foundation upon which was built this labor of love, for which great sacrifices were made, and great energy and effort ex- pended for the advancement of man in the broadest sense. Acknowledgment can perhaps properly be made here of the all too generous praise lavished by the writers upon the President, Directors and other officials of the Exposition for their part in this international mosaic. While these kindly words are most gratefully received and cherished, they cannot be given place in an inter- pretation of an accomplishment into which no thought of individuality must enter. Hence all reference to Ex- position officials has been omitted. In likemanner senti- ments from Calif ornians have not been here presented^ save in afew, exceptional cases ^ lest it be thought that their tone of enthusiasm was the result rather of local pride than of disinterested analysis. There has been no attempt to segregate the sentiments published. They are herewith printed in the alphabeti- cal order of their respeSlive authors. In the hope that the prophecies therein contained may be fulfilled^ and that all may walk in the light thus shed upon the pathway^ this book is presented to the reader. CHAS. C.

ALLEN D . ALBERT President, International Association of . Rotary Clubs, Minneapolis, Minnesota. IF WHAT the Exposition has done for the good of all the arts and sciences may be measured by what it did for Insurance within my own knowledge, then, indeed, has it become the Headlight of Progress of this century. YOUNG E. ALLISON Editor," Insurance Field," Louisville, Kentucky. AT ALL times exhibitions of the arts and industries and the gathering together of men of all nations for the discussion of scientific and literary objects is a step toward bringing about a better understanding among mankind. May the Panama- Pacific International Exposition, closing as it does amidst the cruel and devastating war, yet be the harbinger from the New World to all nations of an era in which all international hatreds shall cease and be replaced by a friendly competition for the betterment of mankind, securing of equal rights for all men, the removal of unjust discrimination against any people because of race or creed and the carrying of justice and liberty to the uttermost ends of the earth! CYRUS ABLER President, The Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Gave Wings to Men's Spirit Headlight of Century' s Progress Harbinger of Equal Rights for All Men C ^ )e <j& ac y ftbe Exposition * San Francisco, Impressively Utters Peace Sentiment Powerful Factor in Patriotic Growth Prophesies Future of Untold Peace Vitality Aids to Preserve Civilization Expresses Fraternity and Idealism THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition stands as a monument to progress, patriotism, and world service. It is a glowing tribute to the arts of peace. The sentiment for peace needs not defense; it needs utterance impressive and re- peated utterance. ALFRED G. ALLEN Member of Congress, Cincinnati, Ohio. IN ADDITION to fulfilling its avowed mission as a fitting cele- bration of the completion of the Panama Canal, the Ex- position has, under the unusual conditions which have pre- vailed during the past 'year, contributed more than any one factor to the increase of patriotism and unification of the great American people. L. M. ALLEN Passenger Traffic Manager, Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway, Chicago, Illinois. TT TITH an embattled world upon the heart of humanity, we * * turn to the grandeur and serenity of the great Expo- sition and are relieved by the faith that what service, instead of selfishness, has created in the past to heal wounds and recreate patriotic devotion, is here made prophetic of a future of untold peace, honor and progress for all humanity. LOLITA S. ARMOUR Chicago, Illinois. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been of great service to the world. This remarkable achieve- ment will be recorded in history as a vital element in the preservation of civilization, which in the year 1915 was hang- ing in the balance. MRS. FANNIE FERN ANDREWS Secretary, American School Peace League, Boston, Massachusetts. / T^HE world's achievements have found expression and its *- future has been foretold in the eloquence of arts and of words and of deeds in the Panama-Pacific Exposition. May the fine internationalism of the future realize the fraternity and idealism there expressed! w. o. ALLEN President Doane College, Crete, Nebraska. 8xposition * San Francisco, '"T^HE Exposition has marked mankind's material progress -*- and triumph; it has delighted the aesthetic and ministered unto the spiritual; it has typified and incarnated the blessings of honorable peace, and thereby, at this critical posture in the world's events, has rendered a service of commanding im- portance to all Christendom. HENRY F. ASHURST United States Senator, Prescott, Arizona THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition proclaims that a great people at peace with all the world flings wide the gateway of the oceans to the commerce of the nations, but locks and bars it forever against the rapacities of war and the cruel- ties of conquest. EDWIN A. ALDERMAN President, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia. TT HAS been a temple of peace, an arena of the free. It has - been the Ark wherein have been preserved the art, science, genius, culture and industry of a wrecked world. Here the altars of Liberty have been kept aflame with hope. Here the shrines of Humanity upon which the fires have not gone out, here the achievements of a mighty age, have been gathered in friendly rivalry and competition. ALVA ADAMS Former Governor of Colorado, Pueblo, Colorado. / ~T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition probably has -*- been the most wonderful collection of the world sciences that has ever been gathered within four walls. We who have had the privilege of sojourning daily for several months or more within the gates realize that in no other way could we have seen the latest achievements of science, such wonderful col- lections of art, such horticulture, and such lighting effects. It has brought people east of the Rockies and west of the Rockies into personal contact, and reminds us that no matter where we are in the United States of America, it is our country. FREDERICK W. ARMSTRONG Representing Bureau of Conventions of the Association of Commerce, Chicago, Illinois. Incarnates Blessings of Peace Hails Commerce but Rejects War Ark That Preserves World's Ideals Pride of Country Fostered by Exposition fthe Sxposition * San Francisco, Demonstrates Pacific Coast Importance Portrays Loftiest Hopes of Human Race World Progress Greatly Benefited THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has not only testified to the unity of America, but it has served to bring to the national consciousness the truth not yet ade- quately realized, that the Pacific Coast with its western out- look is as important as the Atlantic Coast with its eastern outlook, and that it is as essential to the interests of America to establish and maintain friendly relations with Japan, China and India toward the west as with the European nations toward the east. LYMAN ABBOTT Editor-in-Chief of "The Outlook," New York City THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has recorded the accomplishment and portrayed the loftiest hopes and worthiest ambitions of the human race. It has pictured pure achievement and left unmixed with mediocrity records, pat- terns and ideals for the future of mankind. The Exposition has been to those privileged to attend what the senses are that link the individual with his environment, but the vision has been immensely broadened and the hearing quickened to catch voices wafted across continents and oceans. Not merely the senses, but the sensibilities, have been refined and exalted by the examples of marvels wrought and lessons taught in co- operative effort to advance the human race. Greater than all that have gone before in those things that make an exposition great, this last Exposition leaves us with wide-open eyes and clear vision looking confidently into the future with the as- surance that yet greater things are in store for us. F. J. ALEXANDER President, American Optical Association, Albert Lea, Minnesota. THE Exposition is an achievement which must have a most beneficial and enduring influence in a thousand different ways upon human betterment and world progress. F. J. AREND President, The De Laval Separator Company, New York City, New York. Exposition * San Francisco, E thoughtful mind, recognizing what has been done all over the world, cannot be closed to the fact that each new discovery, each new invention, each new development, is only the beginning of greater and more important work. Thus, this wonderful Exposition, like all preceding exhibitions of this kind, far from marking the end of finished work, rather opens new fields to the inventor and discoverer, and gives new sub- jects of thought to the thinker and philosopher. It will stand out more powerful and prominent than any other that came before, or any other that may come after. It demonstrated to the whole world that true progress and happiness lie in the works of peace alone, and that no betterment of the human race can be expected until the sword of battle has been sheathed. The efforts of the human mind were here directed to build up and improve, not to destroy and devastate. In place of the wail- ings and heart-rending cries of widows and orphans, we could raise the hallelujahs of industrial and commercial progress. Instead of destroying the works of art and science of former centuries, we pointed the way to further development, better- ment and happiness. WILLIAM c. ALPERS President of The American Pharmaceutical Association, Cleveland, Ohio. PENNSYLVANIA College for Women begs to join with other educational and civic bodies in expressing its apprecia- tion of what the Exposition has meant in the accomplishment of human betterment. From the purpose and scope of this great enterprise, we are persuaded that no similar exposition has been fraught with greater results tending toward human enlightenment and progress. JOHN c ACH ESON President, Pennsylvania College for Women, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. TTooD College, Frederick, Maryland, heartily joins in con- * -* gratulations to the Panama-Pacific International Expo- sition upon the splendid success it has achieved, and expresses the hope that, true to its name, it may prove to be the ex- ponent of international peace and prosperity. May its in- Opens New Fields to Discovery and Invention Excels in Aid to Human Progress To Prove Exponent of International Prosperity of the Exposition * San Francisco, Leaves Heritage of Creative Harmony Great Life Currents Are Put in Touch Takes Glorious Place in History fluence continue and spread until it ushers in the day when our great oceans shall be the bearers of commerce, not calam- ity, and our famous canal shall but emphasize the neighborli- ness of the world and the real brotherhood of man ! JOSEPH H. APPLE President, Hood College, Frederick, Maryland. BEAUTIFUL in situation, glorious in architectural conception, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has shown its visiting millions how man can create vastness and yet give it the highest beauty in both form and color. Such heritage of creative harmony must continue to make for human happi- ness and betterment. EDWARD E. ALLEN President, American Association of Instructors of the Blind, Watertown, Massachusetts. WHATEVER the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has accomplished or may accomplish will not be found in the products of science and literature and art that have crowded its spacious buildings, but in the great life currents that have been brought through national channels into touch with each other; and in the fact that these currents of life have found like interests and sympathies and aspirations that have crys- tallized into a lasting fraternalism, and have contributed to a deepening sense of the brotherhood of man, if not to the pro- founder conviction of the Fatherhood of God. As the Nations thus come together under peaceful skies and with their exhibits of their legitimate industries, and thus come to know each other better, the world will improve and make progress. There will be a healthy rivalry, but at the same time a spirit of mutual interest and co-operation developed, that will make for world progress and Christian civilization. PERRY S. ALLEN President, Presbyterian Ministers' Fund, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. IN THE completion of the Panama Canal, the dream of Colum- bus, who sought a " trades route to the East by way of the West," has been happily realized, thus achieving for the com- ftbe Exposition * San Francisco, merce and intercourse of all nations and all peoples the most momentous event of the twentieth century, in every sense world-wide in character and importance. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition fitting celebration of this stupen- dous achievement closes its gates and passes into history; and we feel sure that a glorious page awaits the record that this has been the greatest, the most complete, the most artistic and the most wonderful Exposition of all time. i WALTER P. ANDREWS Atlanta, Georgia. TT MAY be said justly that the Panama-Pacific International -* Exposition belongs to history, but it also belongs, as a pleasant and enduring memory, to those who had the good fortune to visit it. The Exposition intended to display to the world not only the products of man's labor, the activities that contribute to the comfort and refinement of life, but also to present as far as possible the social forces that stir, the moral forces that appeal to, the heart and will of mankind. The movement for the abolition of child serfdom is one of these forces, and the occasion was offered us to present our work to the considerate appreciation of our fellow-citizens. As for the Exposition in its entirety, the grandeur of conception that characterized the whole, the enchanting beauty of many of its details, will long stay with me as a delightful recollection. I was struck especially with the pulsation of life in it all, the sense of a great creative effort in the American people strug- gling to express itself. But more than all, I was consoled by my visit to the Exposition just at the time when this frightful war was raging abroad, to realize our happy remoteness from the scene and the causes of quarrel, and, by contrast, the multi- form blessings of peace. That this Exposition, so successfully brought to a close, may leave on the mind of the people an enduring prepossession in favor of peace, is my earnest wish. DR. FELIX ADLER Chairman, National Child Labor Committee, New York City, New York. Expression of Great Creative Effort f f ^ e Exposition * San Francisco, Teaches That Nothing Is Impossible World's Greatest Peace Example Magnificent Picture of Progress Antithesis of Idleness and Destruction As A conception of artistic beauty the Exposition is a master- piece, and as an educational factor its value is immea- surable. It has exemplified the great truth that nothing is impossible. It has played an important part in the advance- ment of ideals by bringing together in friendly council the representatives of every class, creed and nationality. j. N. BISSELL, Managing Editor, "Woman's National Weekly," St. Louis, Missouri. /COMMEMORATIVE of the completion of the Panama Canal, ^-^ the greatest achievement of man, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been far-reaching in its accom- plishments. It not only served to bring the people of America into closer personal contact, but portrayed to the world our nation's progress. The Exposition impressed one as the world's greatest exemplification of Peace it imbued one with tranquillity and harmonious state of mind and conscience. It leaves the lasting impression that it stood for world's progress and peace unto man. TARLETON BROWN Editor, "Western Insurance Review," St. Louis, Missouri. Panama-Pacific International Exposition is the crown- * ing achievement of exposition makers a magnificent pic- ture of modern progress and business accomplishments. T. W. BLACKBURN Secretary and Counsel, American Life Convention, Omaha, Nebraska. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition is symbolic of the fruits of industry, in displaying the highest attainment which has been reached in the useful and beautiful; in present- ing the beneficence of organization for social welfare, making for the betterment of physical and moral life, the comfort of the individual, and civic unity the antithesis of idleness and of destruction and waste through strife and bitterness of hate. DR. A. W. BITTING Representative of National Canners' Association, Washington, D. C. 8 C ^ }e <jg ac y fthe Exposition * San Francisco THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has a deep significance in that it was held to celebrate the opening of communication between the people and nations of the world, bringing them together not only in commerce, but in friendship, sympathy and respect for each other. May it bring together the hearts of all the people as well as link the bonds of trade! In the homes of every land may the lessons of love and friendship be instilled in the minds of children to bear rich fruitage when to them come the duties of manhood and womanhood! MRS. A. A. BIRNEY Corresponding Secretary, National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations, Washington, District of Columbia. IN THESE times, when the face of so large a part of the world has been miserably turned backward toward barbarism, I believe that the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has done much to turn the face of humanity toward the larger era of international co-operation and good-will that is surely coming. With the nations of the world today being rapidly brought together by the new agencies of communication, com- merce, and politics, one of the supreme tasks of the age is to bring about a better understanding and spirit of co-operation between these nations. Let the Exposition be a herald, an- nouncing to the world that peace and prosperity can come only with righteousness and brotherhood and are to come on those terms. Let the old narrow spirit of exploitation be banished by the new broad spirit of service throughout the earth! c. j. BUSHNELL President, Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has marked a forward step in the progress of the world and has added largely to the sum total of scientific knowledge, and of inter- national comity and to the welfare of the people. E. B. BURRITT Secretary, American Electric Railway Association, New York City. Will Link Human Hearts Herald of Peace and Prosperity Adds to People* s Welfare f the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 Proclaims Man's Service of Man Concrete Expression of Loftiest Sentiments AMONG all the multiplicity and variety of impressions which impinged upon my mind, there was none so strong as a deduction I made in the quiet of my own room, the result of this turbid, roaring swirl of impressions a deduction of a dis- tinctively moral order, namely, man's service of man. I saw it in the great and small machinery whose vast and in- finitesimal wheels whirred off the labor of a million men at the cost of the wage of a thousand men and at a saving of millenniums of time. I saw it in the devices in multiplied thousands designed to contribute to the legitimate pleasures of life. I saw it in the art and architecture which serve to make full and perfect human character. I saw it emphatically in the vast indications of educational, religious, missionary and eleemosynary activities. I saw the great, fine, strong minds of the world laboring and collaborating, giving their rarest powers in the service of their fellows, and giving thus at the sacrifice of comforts and pleasures, often of home and friends and other objects which the heart of man holds dear. I have prayed that we may see the day when the genius and talent represented in this vast volume of service, which is in large measure unconscious or in a sense involuntary, may be vol- untarily and deliberately consecrated to the service of God and man may be set to the solving of the problems of poverty, under whose galling burdens so- many millions of our race are crushed. EV A BOOTH Commander Salvation Army, New York City. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition is a concrete expression of the loftiest sentiments of our American people. It is an object lesson of the best in our American life. It has displayed in a practical and attractive way the things that are dearest to our American thought. It has concentrated attention on the vast resources and the great versatility of the unequalled genius of the American people. M. G. BRUMBAUGH Governor of Pennsylvania. IO of the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 THE trail of War leaves crime, poverty, misery, destruction and death. The Panama-Pacific International Exposi- tion most wonderful, beautiful, successful and most educa- tional exhibit the world has ever seen is a living demonstration that the path of Peace brings life, strength, health, courage, valor, harmony, happiness and prosperity. LUTHER BURBANK Santa Rosa, California. AY the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, symbolic of the best there is in the twentieth century spirit of prog- ress, go down in the golden pages of history as the wonder- achievement of a new and higher and nobler civilization! It has shown in the most convincing and practicable manner that the achievements and heroes of peace ever stand out above and beyond the glories of the red-strewn battle-field. It marks an epoch in the march of industrial, social and moral progress which cannot be too highly emphasized. Above and beyond the sentiment of patriotism, it has shown to the world the glowing light of a human brotherhood which shall know no barrier of race, or creed, or flag. JOE BRANDT Secretary, The Universal Film Manufac- turing Company, New York City, New York. T AM convinced that the Panama-Pacific International Expo- *- sition has accomplished more along the lines of its purpose and done more for human betterment and world progress than any other exposition ever held on this hemisphere or in the world. The unusual conditions that have existed during its life have caused America to become a world power. The won- derful success of the Panama-Pacific Exposition under these unusual conditions has caused it to become a mile-stone in the pathway of progress of all nations of the world to which they will look back with pride and satisfaction. JAMES H. BRADY United States Senator, Pocatello, Idaho. II Illuminates the Pathway of Peace Kindles Light of Human Brotherhood Mile-stone in Pathway of Progress fth e Exposition * San Francisco, Peace Blessings Made Paramount Largest and Best of All Lights Highway of the Race Puts World Dwellers on Equality IN MY judgment the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has had a most beneficent effect in directing attention to the arts and achievements of Peace in a period of gloom and depression resulting from wide-spread conflict. It has em- phasized, as only such an Exposition could, the blessings of Peace at a time when the world was being made especially conscious of the savagery and horrors of War. JOHN EDWARDS BRAY State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Carson City, Nevada. E Exposition has been far more than a fitting commemo- ration of the joining of the two great oceans. The asser- tion may confidently be made that this latest Exposition has been the largest and best of all. It will afford an enduring impetus to the arts and sciences, promote commerce and in- dustry, and in its largest aspects will render potent aid in creating good-will and a better understanding among the nations. THEODORE E. BURTON Former United States Senator, Cleveland, Ohio. 'T^HE Exposition has lighted the highway of the race and is *- entitled to universal gratitude for showing the develop- ment of the educational, industrial and scientific progress of humanity; and for teaching that faith, strength and firm con- fidence can make a beautiful ideal a grand complete realization. GEO. A. BARTLETT Former Representative in Congress, Carson City, Nevada. TT TE VENTURE to hope that the spirit of international co- * * operation, which all scientific organizations foster, may have been advanced materially by this great Exposition, which has been the means of bringing together on equal terms repre- sentatives of the peoples of many countries. -*k CHARLES P. BERKEY Secretary pro tern., The Geological Society of America, New York City, New York. 12 fthe Exposition * San Francisco, THE spirit of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has done much to bring together the ends of the earth. May that spirit grow and prosper till the whole round earth be bound by the chains of charity about the feet of God! JAMES M. BROGAN President, Gonzaga University, Spokane, Washington. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has more firmly impressed upon the nations of the world, and more particularly upon the people of our own country, our natural resources, the skill of our workmen, and our capacity and ability to compete in the world's markets. It has shown that we have progressed far in art and genius; but greater than these, it so strikingly impressed upon all who have seen or read of the Exposition, the glorious works of peace and upbuilding, contrasted with the devastation and destruction of war. The Exposition has typified in the highest degree the unity of the American people and their co-operation with each other and with the peoples of the globe. w G BIERD President, Chicago and Alton Railroad Company, Chicago, Illinois. \ s THE Exposition brought solace and relief to many hearts ** aching in sympathy for their compatriots fighting on the battle-fields of Europe for the betterment of humanity and world progress, so may its memory, indelibly impressed as it must be on the minds of those who participated in its beauties, serve to preserve that peace which will be attained when victory rests upon the banners which have been raised in the cause of justice and righteousness to be rendered all nations. Peace has its triumphs as well as war, and in the realm of the arts and of science, the educational value of this wonderful display, which in ensemble has never been excelled on this continent, must endure in a lasting benefit to the world. F. S. BARNARD Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Unites Ends of Earth Expresses Highest Degree of American Unity Brings Solace to Many Hearts fthe Exposition * San Francisco, Unites Nations in Common Effort Broad Appeal Strikes Universal Note Vital Exponent of Universal Progress Beyond Compare with Previous Expositions THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition: a panorama of the nations of the earth united in common effort toward one end the advancement of mankind, and a pledge of progress and fellowship yet to be! ROSAMOND K. BENDER National Corresponding Secretary, The Needlework Guild of America, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. E Exposition in its entirety has struck a universal note. In its broad appeal it has constituted an educational factor of the greatest importance, exemplifying and summing up the march and progress of modern life. It has voiced and created new and higher aspirations. Its loftiest message is surely this: that the arts of Peace and the service of our common humanity challenge all that is strongest and best in man's nature, de- manding the exercise of his fullest powers; and that in those broad channels his energies and ceaseless activities will find their truest expression and man himself his deepest happiness. MARTIN BURRELL Minister of Agriculture for Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. E great Panama-Pacific International Exposition served as a vital exponent of universal progress in the useful arts. I hope that with the closing of this great congress of interna- tional institutions, the spirit which has governed its action will not lie dormant, but will eventually consummate in a better understanding and more complete appreciation of all its efforts for the betterment of mankind, j. j. BROWN Wheeler Condenser and Engineering Company, Carteret, New Jersey. T BELIEVE that the Panama-Pacific International Exposition * is by far the greatest affair of the kind that has ever been conceived. It is so far superior to all the others that there is no chance for comparison. It is my sincere wish that it will go far toward the actual bringing about of hasty and permanent world peace. LAWRENCE BRUNER Professor of Entomology, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska. f the Exposition * San Francisco, "IT THEN we look back over the Panama-Pacific International * * Exposition we note with pride that it has stood bravely in all its many lines of activity, in thought and action, for the ideal of America peace and the betterment of the human group thruout the nations. To women, the great accomplishment of this Exposition was that it made clear, as had never been done before, the new solidarity which now obtains amongst the women not only of our own land but, beyond the seas, with the women of all the countries of the globe. (MRS. O. H. P.) ALICE E. BELMONT President, Political Equality Association, New York City, New York. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition shows that the world is growing in its appreciation of beauty, and in its expression of beauty, as is evident in the buildings and at- tractions, and that human skill and usefulness are being rapidly multiplied, as is evident by the exhibits. WM. H. BLACK President, Missouri Valley College, Marshall, Missouri. To THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition, salutation and gratitude for its wonderful interpretation to the world of the highest type of activity of twentieth century life! Its beauty will remain a benediction; its organization a marvel; its co-operative spirit a formative impulse toward a new social ideal. MARY c. c. BRADFORD State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Denver, Colorado. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has made pos- sible the most splendid educational advantages along all lines, which must surely serve in bringing about great world improvement and understanding as well as a closer relationship and deeper appreciation between the East and West of our own country.

The collec- tion presented of the innumerable products of human work- manship enabled visitors to the vast display to learn just what improvement every country was making in all pursuits, and to profit by the lesson. The landscape gardening of the grounds, the striking grouping of the buildings and their impressive architectural charm afforded a feast for the eye that sent a thrill of admiration through those who beheld them, and which cannot fail to develop in all a love for the beautiful in life. B. F. BUSH Receiver.The Missouri Pacific Railway Company, St. Louis, Missouri. 'T^His Exposition has stood as a blazing and glorious evidence -*- of the kinship of the peoples, a splendid example of the arts of peace, a standing rebuke to those who are ceaselessly preaching the gospel of force. It has been a great preparation for peace, and as such it has been a better defense for our land and its institutions than all the dreadnaughts that are now afloat or that our money could buy. WARREN WORTH BAILEY Representative in Congress, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. / T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has accom- *- plished much in the interests of education, social progress and human welfare. It has taken first rank in the history of our country and even the world. At a time when the world has been torn asunder by war and conflict, when the best powers and resources of the nations have been used for de- structive purposes, how gratifying it is to the American people that there was strength and energy to complete a task which has contributed so much in a constructive way to the better- ment of human life ! M L BURTON President Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts. 16 fthe Sxposition * San Francisco, N o GREATER educational scheme was ever projected, none ever more truly consummated. The entire world must profit in many ways. WM. P. BEST, M. D. Recording Secretary, National Eclectic Medical Association, Indianapolis, Indiana. 'HRHE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has brought -*- together, exhibited and demonstrated educational prin- ciples, practices and opportunities in a manner that has never been equaled on any other occasion. The Exposition has been an educator from the beginning of its organization to the closing of its gates. It has left a picture of beauty in structure, ar- rangement, illumination and conduct which adds a new chapter to art, science, education and business. To visit the Exposi- tion and take advantage of the opportunity offered there for study and investigation, has provided within itself a liberal education for those who came and were privileged to remain to see and hear and feel. The Panama-Pacific Exposition will live on in education after its doors are closed. E. c. BISHOP President, Department Rural and Agricultural Education, National Education Association, Ames, Iowa. THIS Exposition has demonstrated that America and Ameri- cans, in spite of stress of unfortunate circumstances and a war without parallel, have held the greatest Exposition of all the ages; have been able to elicit exhibits from warring nations and have shown that the triumphs of peace are greater than those of war; that "Peace hath its victories no less renowned than War" is clearly proven, if it needed such proof. The arts and sciences have shown at the Exposition that humanity pros- pers in peaceful pursuits, and convince us that war and its ravages are to be avoided when it can be done with national honor. God speed the day when international sentiment will forbid the arbitrament of arms except as a last resort! EARL BREWER Governor of Mississippi, Jackson, Mississippi. Entire World to Reap Profit Has Provided Liberal Education Humanity Prospers in Peaceful Pursuits ftbe Exposition * San Francisco Points Out Nation 1 s Supreme Opportunity Stimulates World's Industrial Activities Gives Broader View of Future Possibilities Millions Influenced by Architectural Beauty E Exposition teaches that peace between Nations, as be- tween individuals, is largely a matter of disposition. Good- will between men is the condition precedent to peace on earth, and our Nation, because of its kinship with all the other nations, is in position to lead in the movement for universal peace. With this supreme opportunity comes an unparalleled responsi- bility. That it may live up to this responsibility must be the prayer of all patriotic citizens.

TT^ROM a national standpoint the Exposition has emphasized -- the tremendous possibilities of our vast resources, and the vital importance of our inter-communications by rail and water, as well as the immense advantage that must accrue to the Pacific Coast through the construction of the Panama Canal. From an international standpoint it has marked the inevitable progress of modern civilization in the arts and sciences; and has served to still further stimulate the industrial activities of mankind through friendly competition and rivalry, and by pro- moting the pursuits of peace. GEO w. BOYD Passenger Traffic Manager, Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Philadelphia, Pa. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has given the -*- people of this country an opportunity for a higher and broader view of the possibilities of the future and, I believe, sets a splendid example of the profit and uplift to be gained in the pursuit of peaceful arts and sciences. W. B. BIDDLE Receiver and Chief Traffic Officer, St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad, St. Louis, Missouri. E Exposition's greatest significance lies in the aesthetic influence of a masterly representation of the art of archi- tecture upon almost twenty millions of people. The Carnegie Institute was glad to add its mite. JOHN W. BEATTY Director of Fine Arts, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 18 fthe Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has brought together the forward movements of many people and the brotherly co-operation of many nations working to a common end in world service. In its very inception, the Exposition is different from the other World's Fairs, as it looks toward future accomplishment, rather than celebrating past achievement. It is the foreword of the great internationalism which is the hope of the world. E. BARTHOLOMEW "Keith's Magazine," Minneapolis, Minnesota. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been a mighty influence in strengthening Pan-American friend- ship and in preparing the way for greater Pan-American com- merce. Pan-America has made use of its splendid facilities to show to the world Pan-American resources and potentialities, and the nations of Asia and Europe have responded with exhibits intended to attract the attention and the trade of Pan-America. Surely, an Exposition that has thus marshalled the forces of all the world will live in history as one of the most notable mile- stones of human progress. JOHN BARRETT Director-General, Pan-American Union, Washington, District of Columbia. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has brought to -*- the attention of the civilized world the achievements and possibilities of the western part of the United States. Never again perhaps in the world's history will there be another expo- sition that will so effectively combine artistic design in build- ing construction with the assembling of the material progress of the nations of the world. The buildings combine architectural harmony with local color, without producing the feeling of monotonous duplication. The wonderful assemblage of exhibits has epitomized the world's progress in productive development and material achievement. The whole world must gain in energized content as a result of this great International Ex- position, w. B. BIZZELL President, Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, College Station, Texas. Foreword of Great Internationalism Lasting Benefit to Pan- America World Gains in Energized Content Sxposition * San Francisco, 1915 Gives World New View of Our Progress Visible Sign of Better Things Congresses Achieve Memorable Result THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has given a new view to the world at large of our progress in the arts and sciences and in all that goes to add to the comfort and well- being of our people. This memorable event inevitably suggests the awful contrast between its peaceful activities and the scenes of carnage now going on in other countries. Peace without justice is a vain dream, and a nation that loves peace must be prepared to defend and maintain justice, without which peace would be a mockery and delusion. Let us hope that the Expo- sition has made this lesson plain. THOMAS BURKE President, Chamber of Commerce, Seattle, Washington. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been the outward and visible sign of better things. It has taught that the greater triumphs of mankind are those of peaceful con- quest over the forces of nature. The achievements of science in the fields of Medicine, Electricity, Chemistry and Engineering; the genius which has developed the applied and ornamental arts; the advances in education, housing and other subjects bearing upon the material welfare of humanity all have been shown in a manner to impress the imagination and stimulate still greater efforts. j^ o . B. BERRYMAN First Vice President, Crane Company, Chicago, Illinois. ONE of the memorable results of the Panama-Pacific Inter- national Exposition has been brought about by the numer- ous national and international celebrations and meetings. They have confirmed the unforgettable fact that in the arts and sciences, in the promotion of the general welfare and kindly re- lation between man and man, all peoples of all lands are striving for a common end. Thus, the cementing of brotherly ties will hasten the day when universal Peace and Brotherhood shall prove the parent of universal Happiness. RUDOLPH BLANKENBURG Mayor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 20 fthe Exposition * San Francisco, 'T^HE pioneers of Old New England and their children's chil- dren send greetings to their kinsmen and patriotic friends and to all true New Americans on the splendid achievement of the Exposition and yet a prophecy of still greater things in the arts of peace. HOSEA STARR BALLOU Secretary-Treasurer, The Starr Family Association, Boston, Massachusetts. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition blossom of -- beauty on the edge of the New World, springing from the virgin soil of American political, social and industrial life, watered by the two great oceans of earth, fragrant with the hopes and aspirations of youth, eloquent of achievement, and prophetic of the coming brotherhood of man and the enfolding power of commerce and civilization ! WM. P. BORLAND Representative in Congress, Kansas City, Missouri. E sentiment of a higher type of Internationalism must appeal to every sane-thinking inhabitant of this western hemisphere: the type of internationalism exemplified by our own national policy and supported by an overwhelming ma- jority of our own people; a type of internationalism which keenly desires peace, but only peace with honor never with dishonor and that will strive mightily to attain and hold it. To my mind the Panama-Pacific Exposition stands for more than this: it commemorates the bringing closer together of all the nations of the earth, but particularly the nations of this western hemisphere, most of whom need the help of this great republic. The stronger nations of the south temperate zone, uniting with the English-speaking nations of the north tem- perate zone in the western hemisphere, should between them be able to evolve a type of internationalism which will appeal to the nations of the old world and set an example for them to E.

A TAY THE link which has been so successfully welded by this -L* J- Exposition forever bind the Americas into one land and one nation America! HENRY BRUCKNER Representative in Congress, New York City. THE American people have given to the world names in every walk of life that will never die; and they have shown that liberty and power and wealth can go hand in hand. And in nothing is this marvelous progress more admirably or perfectly reflected than in the gigantic Exposition, one of the most bril- liant accomplishments of which history has any record, which has, for the past year, been entertaining and instructing the World. MARTIN BEHRMAN Mayor, New Orleans, Louisiana. THE marking of a new epoch in progress by the Panama- Pacific International Exposition, the supremest in world- history, is a fit legacy to be bequeathed by the young peace- loving giant among nations; and ages hence, when the history of this fateful year to European nations is read, many will be the students who will stop to ponder the amazing peace victory won at San Francisco while nearly every other nation of earth was blood-mad and blind. May the loom of Time push fast the shuttle of Progress set going by the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposition, and let it cease not to fly, back and forth, till all mankind is clothed in one ideal garment of government, where they shall stand, as nearly as may be, one for all and all for one ! GARRETT BROWN Editor, "Insurance Leader-" St. Louis, Missouri. 22 f the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition is one of the -*- largest educational efforts and achievements of this genera- tion. It has been a great melting pot of international standards, ideals, and sentiment; a marshalling together of industrial, en- gineering, educational, and creative strength from the nations of the world; a place where men and nations received inspira- tion for higher living, as well as impulse and vision for common brotherhood by the bringing together of the peoples of the earth at this beautiful and instructive Exposition. Through its many congresses, exhibits, demonstrations, and illustrations, it has resulted in establishing a higher standard through which all men and nations will seek their betterment and reinforcement. o. H. BENSON Agriculturist in Charge, Boys' and Girls' Extension Work, Washington, District of Columbia. TT HAS been a great privilege to have been a part of the wonder- * ful Exposition that is just drawing to a close, and we ex- press our belief in the great good which has been accomplished for individual advancement and national co-operation. We know that these benefits will grow rather than diminish as time goes On. THORPE BABCOCK Secretary, West Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Association, Seattle, Washington. \ UTHENTIC human history records no single enterprise of ** such magnitude as the building of the Panama Canal. It is a work of transcending importance in the world's progress and development; it unites the peoples of the world in a closer relationship, and will exert a potent influence for the peace, progress and betterment of all the nations of the earth. Hence, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, of nineteen hun- dred and fifteen, will take its place in history as a splendid human achievement; a great celebration, held in suitable com- memoration of a tremendous world event; and as typifying the true spirit of America.

'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been the -* greatest feature in bringing the commercial interests of the world together. It will give all the people, whose interests have been intermingled during the period of preparation, a great impetus towards better methods of utilizing the resources at hand, as well as bringing together the natural wealth of all corners of the world, where they may be better known and used, breaking down the barriers of prejudice and suspicion; enlarging the field for the development of commerce and the invention of machinery; the utilization of steam and electricity and the application of science in many spheres of the world's work; augmenting the work of men's hands by the products of their God-given intellects. The Exposition has stimulated a love for the beautiful and pure in art, making of it an education in itself, gathering together the best available from the four points of the compass. ALFRED H. BECKMANN Secretary National Wholesale Grocers' Association of the United States, New York City, New York. "XT EVER shall I forget the impression made upon me when I * ^ saw the beautiful Exposition. It was an idealistic scene a dream picture almost representing the highest achievement of man in Exposition annals. The sadness of it all is that its gates will be closed and the beautiful city will vanish from the earth. But its memory will remain. It will stimulate, and its lasting effect will make for, American advancement in art as well as in industrial efforts. EDWARD LYMAN BILL Editor, "Music Trade Review," New York City, New York. fth e Exposition * San Francisco, TN THE name of Peace the Panama-Pacific International Ex- ^ position bade all mankind welcome, when chaos covered the face of the deep and civilized man seemed retrograding to savagery. This Exposition stood as a lighthouse upon the shores of free America; a beacon in time of storm; evidence that our Government is founded upon a rock and cannot be moved. The Exposition focused the eyes of all the world on this country, its devotion to peace, its commercial supremacy, and its leader- ship in the exemplification of human rights. C. W. BRANDON President, Columbus Mutual Life Insurance Company, Columbus, Ohio. PEACE on Earth, Good-will toward Men, may well be ac- claimed as the high sentiment most truly symbolized by the Exposition itself. In that sentiment the representatives of Art and Science, of Commerce and Government, of Learning and Religion, and of all nations and races may heartily join, as well as in the prayer for the speedy dawning of the Day of Universal Human Brotherhood. c M BISHOP President, Southwestern University, Georgetown, Texas.

THE great pity is that such a marvelous spectacle should cease to exist and be blotted out forever, but the memory of it will endure in the minds of all who have witnessed it, and its influence will extend to the remotest ends of the earth. Its graceful, classic towers with resplendent, harmonious lines sub- limely lighted at night presented a scene of thrilling grandeur hitherto unparalleled in the world's experience. The exhibits from home and abroad in variety and extent eclipsed all pre- vious Expositions, and reflected the marvelous advancement and perfection attained by all the participant nations in the various fields of education, invention, the -sciences and indus- trial arts. This was the greatest Exposition that the world has ever seen. w A CLARK Former United States Senator, Butte, Montana. 28 of the- Exposition * San Francisco, 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition is ending physically, but not spiritually.

CLINK Secretary-Treasurer, International Federa- tion of Commercial Travelers' Organiza- tions, Chicago, Illinois. IF, IN admiration of the glories of the Exposition, one might call it the eighth wonder of the world, we should still have to remember that the seven of classic lore was each for its own period and people, while the Panama-Pacific International Ex- position has stood for "World Service, World Peace, World Patriotism." It was a vision of splendor; its memory will be a cherished treasure of the heart. It engendered an increased reverence for human capacity, and was a prophecy of the har- mony that is to be between the most distant and diverse peoples when we find their common tie on the one hand in their common struggles on their path of evolution, and, on the other hand, in the Divine Order where all have the same Source and the same Destiny. CLARA BEWICK COLBY Corresponding Secretary, Federal Suffrage Association of the United States, Washington, District of Columbia. THE Panama-Pacific Exposition has linked more closely the Orient and the Occident, has strengthened the bonds of union between the States, and has quickened the patriotic pulse of their sons.

CURRELL President, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina. f the 8xposition * San Francisco, THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has, in the face of apparently almost unsurmountable difficulties, not only been successful, but has paved the way for the highest type of internationalism, progress and business enterprise.

It re- *- suited in general human betterment. It gave men of all lands a wider outlook upon life indeed, a greater life. It served to make note of wonderful progress and to inspire to renewed energy in every direction that makes for the greatness of men and nations.

ALBERT B. CUMMINS United States Senator, Des Moines, Iowa. THE frowning fortresses that now mark the boundaries of the nations will be dissolved in the light that has been cast upon the progress of civilization in this incomparable Exposi- tion, which has played a part in history quite as significant as the construction of the great canal itself, which this celebration has so impressively commemorated an event of today, looking fearlessly forward to the future, with no regretful reminiscence of a day that has passed. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition is the first of its kind in history to typify the pulsat- ing present and reflect the spirit of the new civilization which has been so gloriously revealed in the luminous glow of the forty-eight search-lights, diffused in perfect oneness, symbolizing the union of the States "now and forever, one and inseparable." JOE MITCHELL CHAPPLE Editor, "National Magazine," Boston, Massachusetts. TT THAT the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has ac- * complished for education in its best sense can never be expressed, because the influence of this great demonstration of human achievement has already affected the lives of millions of people and from them will affect millions more; but that which will be remembered longest after the physical grandeur and beauty have passed will be the spirit of the nation that made it: a spirit which will not rest with this achievement, but will be ever ready for the next great work to be done.

A T THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition there has ** been produced the most perfect combination of art, archi- tecture and engineering which has yet appeared upon the earth. There has been made a worthy celebration of the great world event, connecting together by water the two great oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific. As a part of this celebration these two great oceans have also been connected together by the human voice carried across the North American Continent by wires and then carried back again through thousands of miles of space without the use of intervening wires. While the physical em- bodiment of the Exposition's ideals may disappear, the vision of their beauty and the memory of their worth will endure as a potent force urging men forward to yet greater achievement.

" Such notable achievements as the Panama Canal and the Exposition will make the year 1915 memorable for its peaceful accomplishments. This year also commemo- rates the completion of 100 years' peaceful occupation of the continent of North America by two great nations, with no semblance of offense or defense along a boundary of over 3,000 miles. Such will be the history read by future generations. R. CREELMAN General Passenger Agent, Canadian Northern Railway, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

IN BEAUTY of location, in architecture, in color scheme and in illumination, the Exposition has never been excelled. It would be impossible for any one to adequately describe the prog- ress represented and displayed in these buildings, in art, science, manufacture, agriculture, horticulture and in all the useful arts and varied industries of the world and the progress made by man. It certainly has demonstrated to the world that the United States of America is a nation of progress and a lover of peace and good-will to the entire world. J. D. CONNER, JR.

" The lustre this International Exposi- tion has shed on our country, on the arts, sciences, commerce, manufactures, and insurance, particularly the splendid service it rendered for human betterment and world progress, must surely, like the forget-me-nots of the Angel of Peace, in time blossom to also effect a higher type of Internationalism and the realization of more harmonious and peaceful relations, even between the now warring nations of Europe.

JACOB M DIC KINSON Receiver, Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company, Chicago, Illinois. THE Exposition has helped greatly to hold our faith to the idea of an ultimate triumph of world peace and good-will, at a time when events abroad tended to destroy that faith.

DAVIS President, Hunter College of the City of New York, New York City, New York. WITH half of the world at war, the Panama-Pacific Exposi- tion stands out as the great beacon pointing to the triumphs of peace. It has said: "Behold the fruits of industry, the work of man at his best, and not as a destroying agent. " It has strengthened our faith in man's better nature.

It has shown that co-operation not conflict; peace not war, is the true destiny of nations. Back of this physical contest between the nations, there is another war, the war between two ideas the idea of nationalism on the one side and the idea of internationalism on the other. This deeper struggle is an intellectual and spiritual one, and it will continue long after this war has come to an end. It must continue until the basis of fair internationalism is estab- lished. By its position during this contest, America has made a great contribution to this, the supreme cause of mankind, and the Panama-Pacific Exposition has embodied this idea in con- crete form. CHARLES WM. DABNEY President, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition is the most -1- complete and realistic representation of the progress of the nations of the world in every phase of human endeavor.

FREDERICK W. DALLINGER Representative in Congress, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been the greatest mart of this kind. Nations from all quarters have displayed their choicest wares; but by far the most impressive spectacle was the array of the wonder- ful achievements, of the invaluable contributions to civilization of this mighty country, the United States of America. The Federation of the French Alliances in the United States and Canada has deemed it its greatest pleasure and honor to have contributed to the magnificent success obtained by the Expo- sition.

In emphasizing this feature of Congresses, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition recognized the importance of those large social and educational movements with which the great majority of these organiza- tions are concerned. When, in addition, we consider the generous amount of space allowed for educational and social welfare exhibits, we must realize that all that has been contributed in the fields of modern, scientific social work was painstakingly assembled and displayed. Surely, no more consistent endeavor for human betterment could have been essayed. ERNESTINE B. DREYFUS Executive Secretary, Council of Jewish Women, Kansas City, Missouri. I ORDERED the annual cruise of the Annapolis Midshipmen to rendezvous at the Exposition because I felt that it offered the greatest educational opportunity of the times. At no other international exposition have the marvelous results of electrical discoveries been so fully exhibited. The world at large has learned the lessons of the latest scientific development from the demonstrations, exhibits and discussions at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. It has witnessed in the Exposition a worthy celebration of the "mightiest deed the hand of man has done," the construction of the Panama Canal.

THE Exposition will endure as a conspicuous mile-post in in- dustrial progress: a fitting monument to human brother- hood at a time when old civilizations seem to have forgotten or buried the instincts of fraternity which should bind mankind in a society whose benefits would reach every clime and permeate every race. St. Louis and Chicago welcome San Francisco to full fellowship in the association of Universal Exposition cities of America. DAVID R.

KEYSER FRY President, Reading Rotary Club, Reading, Pennsylvania. *E presence at the Exposition of ships of the United States Pacific Reserve Fleet has been of great benefit to the Navy and to our country in bringing officers and men in touch with the representatives of foreign countries and with the commis- sioners from the different States of the Union. This intimate acquaintance and delightful, personal intercourse with distin- guished men from all parts of the world, must have proved to them that the Navy of the United States will always loyally applaud and conform to the policy outlined by President Wilson in a recent address, in which he declared that our military and naval forces are maintained "not for attack in any quarter, not for aggression of any kind, not for the satisfaction of any politi- cal or international ambition, but merely to make sure of our security." In contributing to a proper understanding of the peaceful policy of the United States, the Panama-Pacific Inter- national Exposition has done much to promote human better- ment and world progress. w.

"XJo CONSTRUCTIVE factor in this generation has done more to * ^ overturn the traditional point of view of our people than the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Along every line of human activity the seeker for the best received a stimulus and incentive beyond anything in recent years.

A. B. FARQUHAR President, Pennsylvania Conservation Association, York, Pennsylvania. TN A land of opportunity the Panama-Pacific International Ex- *- position has displayed marvelous achievements; in a land of freedom it stands as an example of united effort and brotherly love. But beyond all this it has risen above a common display of marketable products and has become for all time a realization of the dreams of the practical idealist; a city, restful and beauti- ful; a masterpiece of fine art, a product of which the Greeks themselves would be justly proud; a constant source of inspira- tion for every teacher to place before the new generation. ROYAL B. FARNUM Chairman, Conference of Art and Manual Training Teachers, Albany, New York. 'T^HE Exposition has given proof of the development of the -*- human mind, that divine instrument, which it tells the world to appreciate while it furnishes a vision of its possibilities. It has emphasized the international character of commerce and trade, the close relations of all peoples, the interdependence of nations, and has opened the way for better understandings and mutual good- will. It has strengthened the ties of sympathy and affection between all portions of our common country as it showed the accomplishment of people who love liberty in a land where "every man is set free to do and be his best."

E Exposition has disclosed in a manner truly wonderful the progress of the world in the arts, sciences and peaceful pur- suits. The nations, organizations and institutions participating in the Exposition have performed a service which will be ap- preciated throughout the world, when the present unsettled con- ditions shall have passed away. JAMES A FARRELL President, United States Steel Corporation, New York City, New York. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition stands out be- fore the world as a wonderful symbol of peace, progress and prosperity during the dark months of 1915, and presents a lasting and striking monument of encouragement and hope to all workers for that universal brotherhood of which the poet dreamed. c H F ESSENDEN Secretary, Esperanto Association of North America, Newton Centre, Massachusetts. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been a liv- -- ing example of all that may be won by the arts of peace, but which the demon of war can only destroy. The dominant feature in this Exposition is educational. Other world fairs have overwhelmed by bigness; this one has taught. And not least of all, hundreds of thousands of Americans have come to know more of the greatness of their country and its place among the nations. JOHN C. FUTRALL President, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas. 60 ^e <j?g ac y of the Exposition * San Francisco, OUR first great Exposition, in 1876, displayed to the world the possibilities of the great Republic as a member of the family of nations; that of Chicago in 1893 pointed to a new world in art and industry; that of Buffalo to the march of science and art as affected by the application of electricity; that of St. Louis, to the stride of education as applied to all departments of human activity. But it was left to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition to embody in a completed whole all these elements, with the added feature of the emphasis of the aesthetic. The dominant note of this last great World's Fair seemed to me to be expressed in the beauty of design, the per- fection of form in execution and the charm of satisfying com- pleteness as an effort worthy the admiration of all. The entire nation will be glad to point to it as a possession belonging to the United States of America, a national heritage. s. D. FESS Representative in Congress, Yellow Springs, Ohio. THIS Exposition has marked an epoch in the world's progress and it has proven that the United States of America is indisputably in the lead in achievements of peace. I hope and pray that we may never be called upon to show our mettle in warlike accomplishments. LOUIS H. FIBEL President, Great Eastern Casualty Company, New York City, New York. T CONGRATULATE the Panama-Pacific International Exposi- -*- tion on the splendid display which it has made of the forces that go to the upbuilding and progress of Humanity. Other expositions have exhibited the successive stages of the marvel- ous material progress which civilization has made, but the Panama-Pacific Exposition was the first, I believe, to emphasize, at least in a broad and effective way, the forces that make for social betterment and uplift, and the wonderful achievements which may be made by social co-operation and brotherhood. OLIVER C. FARRINGTON President, American Association of Museums, Chicago, Illinois. 61 Nation Glad to Claim It as Heritage Marks Leadership in Peaceful Achievements Shows Benefits of Social Co-operation Exposition * San Francisco, Cements Relations of Western Republics World Taught at International University Makes Appeal to the Individual THE magnificent Exposition has assuredly been one of beauty and excellent creation, cementing in closer relations all our Western Republics. It will long be remembered by its many visitors. L- R FUHRMAN Mayor of Buffalo, New York. THIS is the day of the concrete and the personal; men demand to see and to feel; therefore, expositions are a necessity. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been a great get-together meeting, a mammoth international university where the nations and people of the earth have entered as learners. Products, inventions, ideas, triumphs, and achievements have been compared and studied, mutual needs and advantages dis- covered, personal and national friendships formed and plans suggested and made for world betterment, world progress and world peace. Never before has it been so brought home to the minds and hearts of men that the whole world is only one great country and that the goal of the highest and best type of inter- nationalism is a "United States of the World." The education, the better understanding, the friendships, the great object les- sons of mutual need and helpfulness and co-operation achieved by our nation through this great Exposition now closing con- stitute a necessary, great, and glorious contribution to the sum- total of all that makes for world peace. R. L. FRITZ President, Lenoir College, Hickory, North Carolina. E visible beauties of the great Exposition, the color, light- ing, greenery, and the architecture of the buildings have been made known throughout the world by means of the graphic arts. Only those who were privileged to be in the sessions of the vital conferences which took place during the Exposition and to meet the thinking people of the world can best appre- ciate this other phase of the Exposition activities. The story of the personal side of the Exposition probably would make as interesting and inspiring a tale as that recounting the outward 62 fthe Exposition * San Francisco, magnificence of grounds, buildings and displays. Both public and more intimate phases went together most successfully. The individual never felt lost, for numerous appeals to one's special interests were in constant evidence. Nothing better testifies to the success of the Exposition than just this blending of large public appeal with a message for every individual visitor, whatever his special interests may have been. A. LINCOLN FILENE General Manager, William Filene's Sons Company, Boston, Massachusetts. THE fortunes of war brought the Exposition in a year when the world needed, above everything else, to learn the essen- tial unity of human interests and the futility of all but con- structive co-operation among nations. The Exposition has done much to teach this lesson to men of all countries. WILLIAM T. FOSTER President of Reed College, Portland, Oregon. THOSE of us who have been so fortunate as to visit the Expo- sition have been edified and instructed by the beautiful grounds, the architecture of the buildings, the exhibits therein contained and the magnitude of the whole undertaking. I con- sider that it has been a wonderful object lesson in demonstrating so forcibly what all ought to realize, namely, that service to others, progress in education, the pursuit of the peaceful arts, strides in invention and the development of manufactures, all of which make for peace, bring to any country advantages vastly superior to those which can be attained through turmoil and war.

E Exposition has, in my judgment, furnished a most won- derful educational opportunity in the arts, sciences and in- dustries of this and other nations, not afforded in any way other than by the assembling together of the latest accomplishments in all these lines for the examination and study of the thousands upon thousands of persons who have thronged the buildings. In- cidentally, all of these people have acquired a much broader knowledge of the growth and development, as well as the mag- nificent size, of the United States of America, across which they must necessarily travel to reach the Exposition.

"PROBABLY no exposition of the past will be so long remem- *- bered as the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco, California, which closed its doors December 4th, 1915. Other exhibitions and fairs have represented the material progress of one or more communities, sections, or na- tions, and even of the world as a whole, but if any previous exposition has ever represented an idea, none ever embodied so impressive, noble, and enduring a principle as the monument to the joining of the ends of the world in social and economic 6 4 f the Exposition *San Francisco, 1915 peace and unity.

T TANDICAPPED by industrial depression at home and the * * appalling international war abroad, the crowning event of the American people in 1915 has been the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Great lessons have been learned from this wonderful Exposition, which has expounded and displayed the wisdom of the arts and sciences during a period of American peace and tranquillity, in decided contrast with a horrible war which has brought destruction and suffering in foreign lands. w. w. GRIEST Representative in Congress, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. \ s ONE of those who were privileged to attend the Exposition, ** I wish to say that I regard it as a marvelous achievement, exquisitely beautiful in design, thoroughly successful in the manner in which its purpose was carried to a triumphant issue. I know of nothing in recent years that has served so effectively to draw the widely separated sections of our vast country into the bonds of a common brotherhood. What was true of the United States was equally true of the nations represented there. It illustrated the generous rivalry of peace not the bitter strife of war; not the destructive results of racial jealousies and of national hate, but the gathering together of those marvelous constructive agencies that make for world betterment and racial uplift.

Its foundation was laid on achievements that are history, and it was constructed with a vision of world progress that must some day be fulfilled, typifying predictions and expectations: a herald of a greater and better tomorrow.

W ILLIAM w. GUTH President, Goucher College, Baltimore, Maryland. THIS great Exposition has been a light unto the world and from it all people have profited much. It represented the fulness of all work of all men of all time and will stand forever as a monument to the progress of mankind. It has been the best institution of its kind the world has ever seen and has contrib- uted much to the future of art, science, industry and agriculture. CHARLES WINSLOW GATES Governor of Vermont, Montpelier, Vermont. FROM an educational standpoint, the Exposition has been of nation-wide value, and I make the statement, without fear of contradiction, that the country joined in a sigh of regret when it was brought to a close. GILBERT H. GROSVENOR Director and Editor, National Geographic Society, Washington, District of Columbia. THE creating of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition is a step in the direction of the establishment of a Federa- tion of the Americas. Such a federation would link together all of the twenty-one American Republics and establish a prece- dent for the formation of a federation of Europe, and a federa- tion of Europe and of the Americas would logically be followed by the federation of the World, resulting in permanent peace.

The Panama Canal is in these days of strife between nations significant. It should do much to promote those intimate international relations which are the only substantial foundation for world peace. The Pana- ma-Pacific International Exposition, on the border line as it were between the Occident and the Orient, cannot fail to exer- cise a powerful influence in the direction of maintaining peace between the peoples of the West and the East. FRANK J. GOODNOW President, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition has symbolized the industrial spirit of the entire world by a peaceful coming together of representatives of all nations, with tributes to edu- cation and thrift, in spite of the fact that many of these nations are today engaged in the most terrific military conflict the world has ever known. It means the ultimate triumph 'of edu- cation and industry in establishing permanent peaceful inter- national relations. The very fact that the nations of the world in such a critical moment have brought together, in this concrete material fashion, the accomplishments of educational institu- tions and industrial organizations, will leave a lasting impres- sion on young and old and will stimulate further progress in these essential factors, indispensable to a higher type of inter- nationalism.

Upon many occasions the publishers rep- resented in the federation of Trade Press Associations have had the privilege of viewing the splendors of the Exposition, and the sentiment universally expressed is one of commendation and true gratification. It has set for us an advanced mark from which we will strive earnestly to go forward. The world will be bigger and better for the effort.

W, GRAYSON, M.D. Secretary, American Academy of Medicine, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition answered fully in its exhibits, grounds, buildings, and in its art, music, edu- cational and scientific gatherings every question relating to the progress of the human race made in the first decade of the twentieth century. It pointed out in clear illustrations the achievements of the race in the decade to come as regards com- munication and transportation in air, on land and sea; and gave an inspiring glimpse into the coming electrical age, whose power and marvels are but now just opening to view. It typi- fied man's love for peace, patriotism, progress and human ser- vice, at a time when the turmoil and ravages of war cruelly rent the nations. It created a sympathy between and united the East and the West of our own country as no other thing has ever before done. It pointed the way for a world-wide social service, stricter sanitation, purer food, and a better race of men and women, and, with these, a higher and a clearer sense of international understanding.

WM L GRAYSON Grand President, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Kansas City, Missouri. THE cup which the Exposition drains on its closing day is a cosmopolitan one, and in the Exposition garden the ends of the world have met to typify the broader progress for which humanity is striving. The world's congratulations are due it. HENRY J. GIELOW New York City, New York. BEGINNING with 1876, our people have held expositions, the first at Philadelphia, then at Chicago, then at St. Louis, and finally at San Francisco. Primarily, each has served to celebrate the anniversary of some great event; fundamentally, they have served to show the useful results obtained by man- kind engaged in peaceful pursuits. I consider it fortunate for the peoples of the earth that, notwithstanding the fearful strife obtaining throughout the Eastern Hemisphere, here in the Western Hemisphere there should be held a great exposition of the products of Peace. EDWARD F. GOLTRA Member, Democratic National Committee, St. Louis, Missouri. IT WAS the most successful Exposition in our country's history. It was an undertaking conceived and carried out in entire harmony with the spirit of the great achievement it commemo- rated.

By reason of it mutual respect has followed better acquaintance between the nations, and a feeling of enlightened interest has been awakened.

HAWLEY Former Governor of Idaho, Boise, Idaho. IN THESE turbulent times, when European civilization appears to be tottering and the statesmen, scientists and industrial leaders of the old world are devoting all their intellectual, physical and natural resources to forward the deadly work of mutual destruction in which their peoples are engaged, it is our privilege to turn our eyes to San Francisco, where Peace and Progress have found their highest form of expression in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Here Productive Science, Industry, Commerce and Education unite in one stu- pendous demonstration, unequaled in the history of the world, that our civilization is built upon a firm foundation; that it is not destined to be overthrown, and that " God's in his Heaven all's right with the world !

T T TONDERFUL as an index to the twentieth century spirit and * * to the industries of the civilized world, the Panama-Pa- cific International Exposition was essentially indicative of Amer- ican enterprise, energy and ability.

It will be a great blessing to mankind. I doubt very much if those who took part in this Exposition will ever see any other its equal. GEO. w. HAYS Governor of Arkansas, Little Rock, Arkansas. WHILE the Exposition itself has ended its work, the effect of its education upon the minds of the people of the world will be apparent for many years. Every one has admitted that the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been the great- est of the world's expositions and has been a wonderful factor in educating the people as to the development and progress of science, art and industry. It has been a great educator, not only to the people in the central and eastern sections of this country, but to many in foreign lands, of the wonderful develop- ment that has transpired in this country in the past and the magnificent possibility for greater development and attainment in the future.

It has been said and believed both here and abroad, that although the United States was a great country in a business way, it had not yet reached a state of development where it could either appreciate or express the higher ideas of art and architecture, and that for education in these finer things the people of this country would still have to go to Europe. But no other exposition here or abroad has ever displayed so much artistic and architectural loveliness. It has shown what America can do in the way of Art and Architecture. If America will do what it can do, the principles and policies which created the Exposition in all its practicability and artistic beauty will be applied in public buildings in all parts of our country. Civic centers will be built which will perform all their useful functions and be made at the same time objects of beauty which will not only educate our own citizens at home, but attract visitors from afar. Thus the Exposition will prove to have offered an example, and to have set a standard which will be imitated everywhere throughout our land and which will produce innumerable evidences of the higher development of our people. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST New York City, New York.

JOHN HAYS HAMMOND New York City, New York. THIS great and wonderful Exposition surely has inspired a vast number of people who enjoyed it to higher ideals, and many master minds in the world's arts will develop from it, insuring progress for all nations.

As A member of the National Council of the World's Insur- ance Congress, knowing what the Exposition has accom- plished for the betterment of insurance and its allied activities and in the promotion generally of industry, peace and progress, I join with thousands of others in acclaiming the magnificent results accomplished. The effects will be far-reaching, and, in many phases of business and social endeavor and in art and literature, will be felt throughout the world. BAYARD P HOLMES President, Hooper-Holmes Bureau, New York City, New York. PARTICULARLY at this time of war and turmoil, it is inspiring to witness the friendship of other nations, great and small, toward the United States by their participation and co-opera- tion in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, marking the completion of the Panama Canal; and the result, even though nothing be accomplished other than the indication of such friendship on their part, more than justifies the energy, labor and money expended. It will be through such co-opera- tion that the world's greatest progress will be marked. J. F. HASKELL President, Traffic Association, Topeka, Kansas. 77 Puts Premium on Peace Construction Will Develop Master Minds Benefits to be World-wide World's Friendship for America Indicated of the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 Unique in Beauty of Form and Color Exposition Furthers World Democracy Achievement Distances Human Conception Exposition a Climax of Achievement Reminder of International Co-operation NEVER before in the world's history has so much beauty of color and form greeted the human eye.

G. STANLEY HALL President, Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts. 'T^HROUGH its beauty, which has largely been accomplished * because of the application of the scientific knowledge of our leading engineers, who have used the harnessed forces of nature to reproduce the effects which nature alone can attain, with almost the perfection of nature, the Panama-Pacific Inter- national Exposition has impressed both our own citizens and our visitors from abroad with the remarkable resourcefulness of our people, their culture, and their appreciation for the things which elevate the human mind and soul. Through the exhibits we have again been reminded of the protection and care which Divine Providence has bestowed upon the great nations of the earth, in that there has been provision made for the sustenance and happiness of our peoples. Through the many convocations of learned societies and associations which have had for their purpose the welfare of the human race, it has pointed the way of progress and has offered inspirations to the peoples who have attended. A. w. HENDRICK President, University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada. T T THILE in many parts of the world men are seeking to de- * stroy each other, are creating untold suffering, and are causing a setback to the cause of civilization, this Exposition has brought together from all nations those things which pro- mote peace and harmony and good-will, those things which make for the happiness of the human race, which tend toward a higher and a better civilization. CHARLES S. HOWE President, Case School of Applied Science, Cleveland, Ohio. 80 fibe Exposition * San Francisco, T T UMAN betterment and the world's progress are dependent *- *- upon humanity and the world getting together. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been a great get- together place, where the world has exchanged ideas, ambitions and inventions beneficial to the humanity of today and of tomor- row. The Exposition's enlightening and uplifting influence on civilization must be felt for years to come, wherever news car- ries and wherever men read. ROY w HO WARD President, United Press Associations, New York City, New York. T SAY with Schiller: "Seid umschlungen Millionen!" Ye mil- I- lions of the entire world, all ye fourteen hundred and more millions of our globe, be ye bound together and united! Not only bound together by wireless, steamship and airship with distance annihilated, not only by press and neighborly informa- tion with time obliterated, but bound together and united un- selfishly in strict justice, alleviating our sufferings in mutual charity and promoting the welfare of all mankind without dis- tinction of age, sex, color or creed, forgetting differences and finding happiness in making others happy at our own sacrifice, as beloved and loving children of the same Father in Heaven. Thus may the Panama-Pacific Exposition perpetuate and strongly promote Schiller's glorious words: "Seid umschlungen Milli nen! " F.HEIERMANN.S.J. President, St. Xavier College, Cincinnati, Ohio. npHERE were many wonderful achievements at the Exposition. -*- Probably the two ideas which were most impressed upon me by my visit to San Francisco were, that the Exposition had shown the achievements of and appreciation for women to a far greater extent than any previous exposition; and that the Exposition has probably been the greatest factor in the development of native American art. ARTHUR HUNTER Member, Permanent Committee of the International Congresses of Actuaries, New York City, New York. 81 Uplifting Influence Will be Felt for Years Exposition to Perpetuate Poet* 's Apostrophe Emphasizes Appreciation of Women fthe Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 Illustrates Vital Importance of Peace Imparts Information at First Hand Promotes World Progress in Peaceful Arts Will Live in Support of International Liberties THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition, in its concep- tion and management, illustrates the vital importance of peace, industry, and beauty in the development of mankind, and in the comfort and happiness of men, women and children. w. c. HAWLEY Representative in Congress, Salem, Oregon. THE things we see and the things we hear impress us more deeply than those of which we learn through books, and at second hand. For this reason, if for no other, the Exposition has been one of the greatest instruments ever conceived for the education of our people. The knowledge given to the millions who have seen the Exposition of what is going on in our own and other lands has meant the drawing together in closer bonds of the peoples of the world. From this will spring a larger generosity and a closer brotherhood. N. E. HARRIS Governor of Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia. IT is with a feeling of regret that the realization comes to us that the gates of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition will close forever on December 4th, 1915. I could wish that an exhibit of such beauty and magnitude and of such a world-wide nature could go on indefinitely, to spread its educational advan- tages and continue to promote "World Progress in the Peaceful Arts" and "World Betterment." B. F. HORNER General Passenger Agent, New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad Company, Cleveland, Ohio. T TERE was a great accomplishment for the Arts of Peace while -* * the great powers of Europe were engaged in the bloodiest war of history.

ALEXANDER c. HUMPHREYS President, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey. 82 fthe Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 THE influence for universal peace which the Panama-Pacific Exposition has exercised upon the civilized world can never be estimated. At a time when the nations of the old world are at war, and our nearest neighbor, Mexico, is in the throes of a revolution, and when the spirit of unrest pervades every nation of the globe, the Panama-Pacific Exposition in all its glory stands like the angel of peace with wings out-spread, pleading with the world to behold her beauty a beauty which typifies the ideal when all nations shall lay down their arms and unite for the advancement and the development of the univer- sal brotherhood of man. R A HOLLAND Director, City Art Museum, St. Louis, Missouri. BY MEANS of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the useful and the artistic achievements of the nations have been brought together, while the peoples of the world have come as one body to enjoy the works of peace. They have given appreciation, they have received inspiration. They re- alize, as never before, that man's heart must be at rest if he would give in material form a blessing to the world. They con- trast the quiet of America with the turmoil of Europe, and they go from our western coast eager, yearning to bring to pass the prophecy of old: "Nations shall not lift up a sword against nations, neither shall they learn war any more." j. c. HARDY President, Baylor College for Women, Belton, Texas. IN A year of world happenings it is not too much to say that the Panama-Pacific Exposition has been among the leading factors in developing a higher and finer national consciousness, a more worthy Americanism, a wiser, kinder and truer Inter- nationalism. The American people and the wider Family of Nations were helped and inspired by this great Exposition. GEO. A. HUBBELL President, Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, Tennessee. 83 Stands in Glory Like Peace Angel Unites Useful and Artistic Achievements Develops Finer National Consciousness ftb e Exposition * San Francisco, Man's Mastery Over Self Symbolized Proclaims Possibilities of Human Endeavor East and West Are More Closely Joined Diffuses Encouragement to Strugglers for Liberty THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition is the expres- sion of the progress of the nations and peoples of the world, symbolic of man's mastery over himself and the forces and re- sources of the earth. It is the embodiment of all that makes for the betterment of the human race. It serves as an incentive to every man and woman to bring closer the time when each of the peoples of the earth shall be united in co-operative effort for the benefit of all humanity. R B HARPER President, Illinois Gas Association, Chicago, Illinois. TN THE beauty of its imaginative conception, in the marvelous * perfection of detailed development, the Exposition just clos- ing sets an example to individuals, to states, and to nations, of what possibilities confront human endeavor. FREDERICK A. HALL Acting Chancellor, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. T FEEL sure that the Exposition will have as a permanent -- result the bringing together of the East and the West of our country in a better understanding and mutual appreciation one or the other. JOHN GRIER HIBBEN President, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific Exposition, in its hospitality to all -- nations, typifies the neutrality of the American people in the wars among the foreign powers. More than that, it is a protest against militarism; and in its architecture, its exhibits, and its congresses it is an embodiment of the world's progress in peaceful arts. When peace is declared among the warring nations, America possibly more than any other country will be the storehouse for these ruined and desolate peoples. America's first Exposition celebrated the birth of her liberty; her last Exposition prophesies her encouragement and aid toward those who are struggling to maintain their liberty. MATTIE P. HARRIS President, Virginia College, Roanoke, Virginia. 84 The J^egacy of the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 I HOPE that the work of the Exposition may serve to renew and regenerate that spirit of true fraternity among the peoples, which we Esperantists believe does exist and is struggling to expression, despite the doings of the past woeful year. J. D. HAILMAN President, Esperanto Association of North America, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. OF THE countless thousands who have visited the Exposition, none, I think, can have failed to carry away as a lasting memory the impression of its beauties. However casually the visitor may have examined the exhibits, he cannot fail to have grasped the splendors of the greatest exhibit of all the Expo- sition itself. In another sense also the Exposition has been a notable event in world history through its congresses and meetings of all sorts, and its collections, in which the gathered knowledge, ingenuity, and art of all the world have been so abundantly displayed. It seems to me that it has provided a most fitting commemoration of the opening to the world of new routes of human commerce. MYRON T. HERRICK Former United States Ambassador to France. THE Exposition has proved to be one of the mile-stones in the progress of the American people. HAMILTON HOLT Editor, "Independent," New York City, New York. HERE'S to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which has borne for the year Nineteen Fifteen the same rela- tion to the knowledge of our American citizens that nitrogen does to the growing plant ! Next to the discovery of gold, this has been the one great attraction that has taken many people across the great American continent for the first time. For most of these to see our great country has meant a greater love for it. Thus the Exposition has meant a greatly increased knowledge and an infinitely greater patriotism. ; G HOLLENBECK General Passenger Agent, Missouri Pacific Railway, St. Louis, Missouri.

I have never seen one so instructive and educational, and at the same time so beautiful in its appointments, as this one. E j HILL Representative in Congress, Norwalk, Connecticut. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition is the highest symbol that could be expressed by this great nation, of what America and her ideals stand for. It shows to the nations of the world now struggling in the throes of a bloody and devastating war that "Peace on earth and good-will toward men" is a far better doctrine to preach and practice than that of war, famine, violent death and extermination of mankind. America has forever desired to be at peace with the world since the day of her birth. How well she has done during the past year and a half of war, the world well knows. The Exposition will go down into history as the symbol of a country that stead- fastly stood for peace under the most trying conditions, when all the world demanded war, knowing that the olive branch of brotherly love is far more potent and greater than the sword. EDWIN IRVINE HAINES Editor, "American Gentleman," New York City, New York. THE Exposition sets a new mark for all future demonstra- tions of this character, and easily excels all expositions here- tofore given in this country or in any other country. Words are utterly inadequate to express properly the beauty and grandeur of the grounds and buildings, and the remarkable collection of interesting and valuable exhibits. GEO w HOGLAN National Secretary, American Insurance Union, Columbus, Ohio. E message of this Exposition is: Citizens of this world, unite! You have little to lose but your provincialism, and everything to gain ! JAMES EADS H(?w Chairman, International Brotherhood Welfare Association, St. Louis, Missouri. 86 fth e Exposition * San Francisco, 1915; THE good it has done, the inspiration it has afforded, has justified the existence of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. It has given not only extreme pleasure, but incalcu- lable profit to millions. A c HART Representative in Congress, Hackensack, New Jersey. THROUGH this great International Exposition of Industries and Progress, great benefit will accrue to all of the States of the Union and to the world at large. CHARLES HENDERSON Governor of Alabama, Montgomery, Alabama. THE vast army of pilgrims who turned their faces to the West in 1915, following in the trail of their ancestors, who were attracted by the gold discovery in 1848, found in the Exposition an attraction to be remembered with delight for years to come. This great achievement bound more tightly the ties of love of the American people. Those whose good fortune it was to attend the Exposition carried back to their homes and their friends the glad echo of their vision; and the Exposition played a great part in uniting any divided interests that may have existed in this glorious land, by bringing together in national harmony the people of the North, South and East and the people of the extreme West. It also has emphasized to the world the importance of the Panama Canal and the achieve- ments to be wrought through its use by this and future generations. E H HARMAN Secretary, American Association of Railroad Superintendents, St. Louis, Missouri.

Its exemplification of world progress has been masterful and far-reaching, and while the material portion of this grand institution will soon be razed to the ground, the good that has been accomplished by bringing so artistically to the attention of the world the progress made in the arts and sciences through world-wide peace, will endure forever. E. G. HALLE Manager, Gertnania Fire Insurance Company, Chicago, Illinois.

E Panama-Pacific International Exposition has not only been of great educational benefit, but has been the means of bringing a great number of the citizens of the United States to the realization of what a great country it is.

DAVID STARR JORDAN Chancellor, Leland Stanford Junior University, Palo Alto, California. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition has accom- plished more toward bringing about good-will among the people of the world than any of the other great expositions which have preceded it. It has not been content with being simply an exposition of genius and labor of man, but has, through its fostering of various congresses, conventions, and societies, brought the people closer together under the banner of Human Betterment.

DAVID C. JONES Secretary, The Lunkenheimer Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. THE Exposition has not only advanced the interests of all manner and forms of insurance, but the Insurance Con- gress in connection therewith has raised the standard of all such institutions to a higher and better plane. Moreover, the arts and sciences have been lifted, their promoters benefited and the world at large made better and wiser by reason of this inter- mingling of scientific thought with human labor. JAS. H. JAMISON President, Western Life Insurance Company, Des Moines, Iowa. THERE is no doubt or question in the mind of every American as to all that has been accomplished by the existence of this great Exposition. It has epitomized Peace and Progress, has typified Present Day Civilization, and has truly represented the best type of real Internationalism. All sections of our own country have forgotten Sectionalism have united to make it the wonderful success it is. The foreign nations represented have shown broad, liberal and far-reaching policy and fore- sight; and America, through this greatest of Expositions, should more strongly than ever before cement all existing friendly and commercial alliances.

STODDARD JESS President, First National Bank, Los Angeles, California. 'T^HE great Exposition not only has recorded in compact form *- the greatest achievements of man for the past decade, but has undoubtedly inspired a greater love and patriotism for our own country. No man can have viewed the wonderful Expo- sition and the matchless grandeur of our great American West- ern Wonderland without a resultant deepening of patriotic pride as an American citizen. j M JOHNSON Chief Traffic Officer, The Missouri Pacific Railway, Chicago, Illinois. TT SEEMS to me that the Exposition has served to bring practi- * cally all of the nations of the world into a somewhat closer association with each other, resulting in a pooling of interest, so to speak, and a comparison of the progress and achievements of the respective nations. This should serve the cause of human betterment and the world's progress greatly, in that it is a source of gratification to those nations who have done well, and an in- spiration and an incentive to a greater effort to those nations which have not made quite so much advancement. JOHN JAMES President, Synodical College, Fulton, Missouri. TT WAS my good fortune to witness the glory and majesty of -^ the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Since then I have felt that every man, woman, boy and girl would have benefited greatly, could they have seen the art, skill, science and products of the world at large, as represented there.

THIS Exposition has exemplified the unity of friendship and peace for their neighbors that is so deeply seated in the hearts of the American people. Continuing, as it has, during these days of strife, through which the other nations of the civilized world have passed, it must be to them and to our own people an object lesson of what should always be the true re- lations of man to man, no matter where he may be destined to spend his days. GEORGE A. KNAPP Secretary, National Leather and Shoe Finders' Association, St. Louis, Missouri.

HOWARD KYLE Corresponding Secretary, Actors' Equity Association, New York City, New York. EMPLIFYING in its grandeur the achievements of the world's greatest thinkers and workers, the Exposition's close is but the curtain drawn upon the scene of yesterday. Its close is but the lifting of the curtain on the scene of tomorrow, and on all the wonders yet to be placed upon the stage of time by that world of thought which, in each passing moment, is forcing from nature her most treasured and secret possessions, that Man may reach that greater perfection intended by his Maker.

'T^HE Exposition is a mile-stone in the world's progress. Stand- -- ing here, looking back down the centuries, we behold the product of her geniuses looking forward we behold the dawn of a greater tomorrow in the progress of her people. Surely this Exposition embodies more than beautiful buildings with ter- raced lawns and gardens of flowers, more than products of hands and brains, more than courts and people it embodies a lesson in hygiene and sanitation not payable in gold and bonds but in human lives saved.

I believe the Exposition marks a great epoch for world service. ARTHUR B. KROCK Managing Editor, " Courier- Journal," Louisville, Kentucky. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition gave to the world a group of buildings unsurpassed for beauty of color and form in a matchless setting of mountain and sea an artistic image that will endure as long as memory lasts. It assembled from all corners of the globe an unrivalled display of the works of artist and artisan, inventor and craftsman. It emphasized the constructive genius of the race, the efforts for the ameliora- tion of wrong conditions, the supremacy of the social and spiritual interests of man. It promoted a broad humanity rather than provincialism or a cold neutrality; a broad human sym- pathy, which manifests an interest in all the achievements of man of whatever race or tongue. o E KRIEGE President, Central Wesleyan College, Warrenton, Missouri.

KRAKE Manager, Traffic Bureau, Commerce Club, St. Joseph, Missouri. 'T^HE Exposition, in its completeness, in the fulfillment of its -*- plans, and in the accomplishment of its purposes, has proved to be a mighty educator and teacher. Architecturally, scenically and artistically, it has proved to be superb, and of inestimable delight as a portrayal of the really beautiful. It has enlightened the citizens of the United States as to the scenic beauties and natural resources of their own country. It has brought our own people together the North and the South, and the East and the West; and it has brought about, among them, a greater appreciation and love of their own land. It is not pos- sible to measure, in thought or words, the marvelous, permanent good it has accomplished for the United States and its people, for the peoples of all the world, for the brotherhood of mankind, and for human progress, development and attainment.

The Exposition has clearly exhibited the abundance that could be made to flow forth from the resources of this great nation, thereby filling the home with light, and the heart with joy, of every American citizen. The Exposition symbolizes a nation where the power of thinking and the ex- pansion of knowledge have attained a high standard. Where these powers exist, prosperity and virtue are sure to follow. JOHN A. KOTAL Secretary, United Master Butchers of America, Chicago, Illinois. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been of untold value to the world in this day of enmity and strife. It has given rewards for constructive effort; it has registered the world's upward movement; it has fostered new ideas; it has glorified the beautiful. It has laid the emphasis on labor, not idleness; on intellect, not passion; on love, not hate; on union, not dissension. As its lessons sink into our hearts and its story becomes a treasured memory, we shall see its true significance as a call to universal service and universal brotherhood. J. H. KIRKLAND Chancellor, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee. TT is my sincere belief that the exploitation of human endeavor has been brought to its highest pinnacle in this magnificent Exposition, which has been such a pronounced success. I am confident that a better understanding in an industrial, moral and intellectual way will accrue to the world-wide Brotherhood of Man, together with closer relations which will tend to cement the different nations to each other for a still greater achieve- ment. JOHN B. KENDRICK Governor of Wyoming, Cheyenne, Wyoming. 98 f the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 AMONG the first of the Educators of the new Peace stands the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Dedicated to embody the world's progress in peaceful arts, it has stimulated a feeling of international union rarely manifest in the world today. The American spirit of Peaceful Conquest overcame Nature to build a Canal, and built an Exposition, the embodi- ment of world progress in the peaceful arts. May this spirit, thus manifested, successfully champion such causes as shall preserve Peace and Brotherhood on the Earth! JOHN ADAMS LOWE Secretary, Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity, Hyde Park, Massachusetts. THE magnificent and matchless Exposition has been de- scribed as a brilliant commemoration of America's greatest gift to civilization, the Panama Canal. I trust I shall not be deemed lacking in appreciation of or reverence for that greatest physical achievement in history if I dare suggest that this epoch- marking Exposition has fulfilled an infinitely higher and grander purpose by idealizing the "world peace, world service and world patriotism" for which it has stood, and exerting a world-wide and enduring influence for the betterment of mankind. H. E. LOUNSBURY General Freight Agent.Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company, Portland, Oregon. TT THILE our faith in the essential Tightness and sanity of the * * race may falter during a time when a large part of the civilized world is plunged in ruinous and terrific warfare, let us thankfully remember that the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco rallied under its banner all the arts of peace that make for human welfare and civilization, embrac- ing in its wonderful exhibits the highest achievements in electri- cal service to mankind, and setting this inspiring picture of Progress in an electrical halo of luminous enchantment.

HT^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition, by bringing -- out the world's highest achievements of science, art, and social service, has made a notable contribution to that new internationalism which must be founded upon international re- spect and self-respect. The long march from tribal isolation and hatred of the stranger to the point where the best achieve- ments of all civilizations are blended in a beautiful and harmo- nious display, is most fittingly marked by this splendid mile-stone. The emphasis placed upon the needs of the child, its demand upon civilization to recognize its right to be well-born, to be educated, to be protected from the tooth ahd claw of com- mercialism, to be trained in civic duty and in reverence for the culture and achievements of all races, is a distinctive feature of this Exposition. OWEN R General Secretary, National Child Labor Committee, New York City, New York. REAT and lasting service has been rendered to the world by the Exposition in promoting the cause of peace, progress and patriotism. The Exposition symbolized the pride of the nation in the accomplishment of the greatest engineering feat in history and what it means to mankind in general. The best of the world's best in all that makes for the advancement of humanity was shown in such perfection of detail to those who entered its portals, that the good it has done and will do is beyond calculation. ; H LONGFELLOW Editor, "Pacific Builder and Engineer," Seattle, Washington. IOO ftb e Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 'T^His is the greatest Exposition in the history of the United * States; the most successful and the grandest in scope, architectural and natural beauty.

CHARLES A. LORY President, Colorado Agricultural College, Ft. Collins, Colorado. TT HAS been a particularly inspiring spectacle, in the midst of * a warring world, to observe both belligerents and neutrals taking part together in a celebration of the triumphs of peace. It has been a most persuasive argument for, as well as an illus- tration of, the brotherhood of man. I like to believe that the Exposition's unseen influence in favor of mutual respect and mutual friendship between all nations will be not less powerful than its appeal to the sense of beauty and to the imagination of all who have been fortunate enough to come under its influence.

E. c. LUFKIN President, The Texas Company, New York City, New York. THE greatest of Expositions, it records and marks the greatest triumvirate of all times: the Panama Canal, link- ing the Atlantic and Pacific; Liberty enlightening the World in spirit with the Golden Gate, symbolizing our great country as an incarnation and example; the Origin of Light, Peace and Happiness to the World. j s LESLIE President, The Leslie Company, Lyndhurst, New Jersey. TT^RANCE and Belgium have helped to make this Exposition * memorable. They had promised to participate and, in the face of what seemed insuperable obstacles, they did participate. These nations kept their word to commemorate in a distant part of the world the completion by America of a great work for the benefit of all humanity, conceived and begun by France. These features of the Panama-Pacific Exposition will, in my opinion, make it an inspiration for mankind in after years, by stamp- ing it in history as a manifestation of democratic brotherhood through which alone great human achievements will be possible henceforth. MAURICE LEON Counsellor at Law, New York City, New York. r T^HE Panama-Pacific Exposition is America's best answer to -- the problem of the brotherhood of nations. National peace and harmony have been demonstrated to be possible. America declares herself for the spirit of brotherhood. WALLACE H.

LEE President, Merchant-Laclede National Bank, St. Louis, Missouri. ALL citizens of the United States take pride in the great suc- cess of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, in that it typifies the highest ideals of all our people, east, west, north and south. We join in the toast to a greater America and a more enlightened world. EDWARD D. LIBBEY President, Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, Ohio. THE glorious Exposition grandly typified World Peace and appealingly presented it to millions of visitors. Nothing ever exhibited to the world surpassed in beauty and significance this great enterprise. May the masterpiece thus presented to the world take its place in the memory of mankind, allied with that Divine tradition "Peace on Earth, Good- will to Men!" E. c. LEWIS Chairman, Board of Directors, Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway, Nashville, Tennessee. 'THHE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been the * educator of the American people as to their own great country. Like a beacon light, the Exposition attracted thou- sands of Americans across the continent, showing them the greatness of the intervening territory and sending them home from the Exposition broader and better Americans.

Its memory will linger always as a fragrant and beautiful reminder of achievements in every line of human endeavor. It is the high-water mark of civilization as recorded up to 1915. W. M. LEDBETTER Managing Editor, "Republic," St. Louis, Missouri. A MERICAN Pomology will ever regard 1915 and its distinct ^*- feature, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, as an epoch in its progress, and will attribute to the influences of the Exposition as manifested through itself directly, and through its several attendant and allied conventions, distinct credit for the inauguration of new impulses in the development of our continental pomology. E R Secretary, American Pomological Society, Washington, District of Columbia. THE Exposition typified the beautiful in art and architecture; the useful and modern in the various industries, mechani- cal and agricultural. The lesson it taught and the effect it will have upon civilization cannot be expressed briefly, except in that it marks the limit of thorough and exhaustive instruction and education in all those various things which go to make a higher and more efficient civilization. The memory of the Ex- position, and the lessons it taught, will ever remain. D. F. LAFEAN Representative in Congress, York, Pennsylvania. '"T^His Exposition has drawn the peoples of the earth together *- in the arena of mutual endeavor.

JO H N FREDERICK LEWIS President, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. REAT achievements always have as outgrowths the realiza- tion of succeeding accomplishments of far-reaching im- port. The great Exposition accomplishment is the outgrowth of the building of the Panama Canal, a great achievement, and is foredestined to commemorate something which will lead up to vastly greater good for both the material world and all hu- manity. Notable is the part it has played, in advancing the cause of a brotherly spirit among nations, to make possible a shorter cut to the immortalization and attainment of the high- est aims of civilization.

THE conspicuous success of the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposition, notwithstanding the most dreadful war in the world's history, is the greatest achievement of all and will be most beneficial in inspiring confidence in the co-operation, determination and business ability of the people of America to put through whatever they undertake. R. s. LOVETT Chairman, Union Pacific Railroad Company, New York City, New York. THIS was the most magnificent Exposition, to which neither tongue nor pen can do justice. It is an object lesson to the whole United States, and cannot but impress upon the nations of the world the indomitable energy and ability of the Amer- ican people. To express what has been accomplished is difficult, for the reason that the after effects will be so far-reaching in the years to come the scope of the Exposition will not end on De- cember 4th, but it will only be the commencement of what will be coined into betterment and world progress. JOHN J. MOSSMAN President, The Transportation Club, Buffalo, New York. T HAVE watched, with pleasure, the great success of the Pana- *- ma-Pacific International Exposition. Its architecture, its exhibits, its congresses, and its embodiment of the world's progress in the peaceful arts, I believe will cause the verdict to be universal, that the Panama-Pacific International Exposition marks the greatest epoch for world advancement. JAMES B. McCREARY Governor of Kentucky, Frankfort, Kentucky. 1 06 of the Exposition * San Francisco, TN MY opinion the most immediate and probably the most * lasting result of the Exposition will grow out of the great lesson of architectural beauty it has taught to millions of Amer- ican people. This cannot fail to produce results immediately apparent in the more general adoption of correct principles and a higher standard in the construction of buildings of every nature. Architecture is but one branch of art, even if it is the most important branch; and I believe the Expositon is likely to result in a better appreciation of and a higher regard for all forms of art. MERRILL MOORES Representative in Congress, Indianapolis, Indiana. E Panama-Pacific Exposition is a superlative artistic and material achievement. It has immortalized American spirit and genius as typified by the idealism and courage of the West. W. G. McADOO Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, District of Columbia. TT HAS resulted in a cementation of interests and hearts: in a * bond of sympathy and understanding which shall last as long as memory endures; for every memory of the Exposition that is passing is necessarily pleasant. It is a monument, more lasting than marble or stone, to the best that is in an exempli- fication of the expression that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth. " LUTHER W. MOTT Representative in Congress, Oswego, New York. E whole of the contribution to civilization of this Inter- national Exposition may not yet be seen. As the years in- crease in number it will become increasingly apparent that the Exposition has stood nobly for world industry, world patriotism, and world peace, during these trying times when to take such a stand is well nigh impossible.

And may we not, as a nation, in- dulge the belief that through the new sense of our power and purpose that this Exposition has given to us, we may become a mighty factor in shaping and achieving for a battle-plagued world the destiny of lasting peace? A. C. MILLER Chairman, United States Government Exhibit Board, Washington, District of Columbia. 108 fth e Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition was fathered by Faith, mothered by Hope, baptized by Charity, clothed with dreams, cradled in visions. Grown to glorious manhood, it preached the gospel of good-will to a warring world, and by its lessons filled the souls of countless thousands with sweetness and light. It does not die: it but moves on into a priceless memory for those who made and those who saw it. May that memory brighten and sweeten with age! THOS. R. MARSHALL Vice President of the United States, Washington, District of Columbia. I WAS impressed, first, with the emphasis placed on the things that make for human betterment rather than destruction upon educational, humanitarian welfare schemes, rather than upon warlike instruments and devices. These, while there, occupied a subordinate place. In the second place, I was im- pressed with the appeals for a larger patriotism. The emphasis was laid not so much on nationalism as on internationalism, while the phrase "World Patriotism" was frequently heard. I felt that the Exposition was a potent influence, and will be, in lifting the world into a better life and a true brotherhood. CHARLES M. MELDEN President, New Orleans University, New Orleans, Louisiana. IN ALL ages, contacts of peoples have been the chief contributing factor in the evolution and diffusion of civilization. As long as there was no way of bringing distant parts of the earth near, progress was slow. By immeasurably shortening trade and travel routes, the Panama Canal has therefore removed a mighty obstacle to world progress. By causing all nations to assemble at one time and place, an international exposition likewise contributes in its way largely to the same result. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition thus aptly symbolizes the quintessence of twentieth century civilization.

One of the greatest accomplishments has been to bring thousands of Americans to the Pacific Coast who otherwise would not have been given the impetus to visit the western section of our country. THOMAS w. MILLER Member of Congress, Wilmington, Delaware. No ONE could study this wonderful assemblage of the pro- ducts of nature and of man, its architecture and its land- scaping, rounded out by its Elysian illumination, without becoming a better man and therefore a better citizen.

ALBERT MACRAE Managing Editor,"The Santa Fe Magazine," Chicago, Illinois. THE Exposition has directed attention to the common achieve- ments and the common ideals of various peoples, and has shown how much they are at one in the beneficent pursuits of peace. It has revealed the growing importance of science in the treatment of the great problems of industry that are presented to the world, and has given emphasis to the need of scientific training of the highest and most thorough kind for a nation that is determined not to fall behind. RICHARD C. MACLAURIN President, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, Massachusetts. E Panama-Pacific Exposition, like all good expositions, has been a great means of instruction.

JOHN HUGH MCDOWELL Chieftain, The McDowell Clan of America, Buntyn, Tennessee. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition exemplified, to the lasting benefit of all mankind, beauty, utility, progress: beauty in architecture, grouping and color schemes of the Ex- position buildings, and in a large proportion of the articles exhibited; utility in the infinite variety of the articles exhibited, which are of practical use to the world in every conceivable phase or branch of human activity; progress as illustrated in the new and improved machinery, tools, and products of every kind shown, as compared with similar exhibits in earlier expo- sitions.

WILLIAM H. McGLAUFLIN General Superintendent, Universalist Churches in the United States, Chicago, Illinois. 112 fthe Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 THE Panama-Pacific Exposition has been one of the notable achievements of constructive peaceful activity in 1915. No one can estimate at this time what effect the Exposition will have upon the thought and work of America and of the other nations that participated in making it a success. It has brought closer the nations of the Western World. It has made more intimate the acquaintance of the widely separated sections of the United States. It has stimulated hundreds of thousands with new ideas and a new understanding of the achievements and promises of this country. It has impressed upon many people of many nations the common needs, aspirations and qualities of mankind the world over. The whole world has been bettered by the devotion of vast energy, enthusiasm and imagi- nation to the celebration of the work of peace, at a time when so much energy of life and imagination of mankind is devoted to the destructive aims of war.

THE Panama-Pacific Exposition was a glorious revelation of America to the world. It was also a revelation of America to herself. It was especially stimulating to those of us in the East who were attracted to the far West. It stimulated the unity of America amidst its variety, and above all it visualized in beauty not only America's achievements, but especially its unlimited future. It gave a vision of the possibilities of the great democratic civilization we are building in this country. HENRY MOSKOWITZ President, Municipal Civil Service Commission of the City of New York.

McCORMICK Chairman, Panama-Pacific International Exposition Commission for Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland. 114 ftke Exposition * San Francisco, T TERE had a nation, foremost of the governmental units of - -* this Western Hemisphere, chosen to set up at the thresh- old of its beautiful Golden Gate a forum for the world's plea, and the world's thought, and the world's judgment; a forum dedicated to intelligence and enlightenment. Surely from so wondrous a forum, and dedicated to these gifts of God, there is bound to be acclaimed and heeded those virtues, the predomi- nance of which the world has always found necessary for its well-being Peace, Contentment and Happiness. JAMES C. McCORMICK Treasurer, United Drug Company, Boston, Massachusetts. THE Panama-Pacific Exposition, while fulfilling its immedi- ate purpose, should become a permanent influence for in- ternational enlightenment. HOWARD MANSFIELD Member, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, New York. ONE of the most important accomplishments of the Panama- Pacific International Exposition in its effect on human betterment and world progress is the turning of the eyes and footsteps of the world toward one central point. It has created travel. The broadening effect of travel creates tolerance, and tolerance of others inevitably affects others' attitude toward us. No quality will make as much for universal progress, peace and happiness as tolerance, and the Exposition has helped create it. S. W. MANNING President, Traffic Club of New England, Boston, Massachusetts. SAD to me is the thought that the gates of this beautiful Ex- position are to close. It was a vision of beauty, a dream of man's exquisite taste and genius. It has made us better, for it has brought North, South, East and West together. It will not be forgotten, but will last in our memories as a thing of beauty and an advanced step in human progress. JAMES E. MARTINE United States Senator, Plainfield, New Jersey.

The Eastern States as well as those of the Middle West have been greatly benefited by it, and I feel that it has had a beneficent effect upon the people in general. JOHN H. MOREHEAD Governor of Nebraska. \ MERICA'S mission is to all nations and peoples, and it is a ** message of good-will, helpful service and high aspiration for the well-being of humanity. To accomplish it, our people must come to know, to understand, to enter into full sympathy with, the people whom we would help. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition has aided mightily in this respect by bringing peoples in closer contact, finer sympathy and better understanding one of the other, and thus has advanced the day of universal good-will and world-wide peace.

And such a result will be real progress for this nation and the world. JAMES G. McMURTRY President, Drury College, Springfield, Missouri. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition, typifying, as it does, the latest developments of science, commerce, and international betterment, has in every respect fittingly com- memorated the completion of this country's world gift the Panama Canal. It has further served to promote the feelings of friendship and respect existing between the United States of America and all nations of the earth, and especially to cement more closely the friendly diplomatic and commercial relations which do and shall hereafter exist between this country and the people of Central and South America. SAMUEL MOODY Passenger Traffic Manager, Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

We began these great American Ex- positions in Philadelphia with the Centennial of 1876. They are about to be closed in a blaze of glory at the extreme western boundary of a country that has more than doubled its popula- tion since the centennial year. The finishing touches have been put upon the progress of the nation to date. J. HAMPTON MOORE Representative in Congress, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. / T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition is another link * forged in the chain of international understanding and friendship, and the link will prove all the stronger to have been fashioned during the fires of an unprecedented international war. It is a brilliant light too one of many pointing to true liberty as exemplified in our own beloved Union of States. WM. J. MARTIN President, Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina. E Exposition was a perfect flower. Its fragrance lingers, and will, while memory lasts and men are grateful. It has helped the world to become acquainted with itself. It was a revelation of the spirit and genius of many tribes and nations, a lesson in the brotherhood in the essential neighborliness of all mankind, which none who saw it, or from afar felt it, can forget. It has passed away, but it was planned that it should pass, built that it should be torn down, gathered that it should be scattered; but the creation after all is permanent. It has passed only out of the gates in order to make the whole world into an exposition of the things for which that institution stood and which it has inspired. Its material features have passed, but not into death. They are buried like seeds, to sprout again the seeds of this perfect flower in every country in the world, to grow up in the lives of men, in better houses, better governments, better industry, better art, better life, better am- bitions, better everything.

'T^HE greatest service which the Panama-Pacific Interna- * tional Exposition has rendered is, I think, along educa- tional lines. True, its great object to commemorate the com- pletion of one of the world's greatest engineering feats has been successfully accomplished, but, I apprehend, its broadest though perhaps less apparent influence for good has been to educate not only the peoples of the eastern section of our country but those of the Orient of Japan and China in particular not only along material lines but in a knowledge of each other and of their mutual aspirations. E. w. NICHOLS Superintendent, Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Virginia. A WORLD'S Exposition, such as held in the City at the Golden ** Gate of the West, is one of the best means of enlightening and encouraging humanity to greater endeavor along all lines of activity and progress.

'T^HE deep impression given by the Exposition of the highest -- in civilization, advancement, science, learning, art, the wonderful achievements of our age, and its lesson that all na- tions of the world can join hands in peace, typifying the better and greater interest of all humanity, shall pass on as part of the lives of those who participated there, and shall finally make all mankind better, greater, and stronger for having seen this actual expression of the finer side of life. c j QTJEN Secretary, The Grand Lodge of Theta Delta Chi, Madison, Wisconsin.

ROBERT M. OGDEN Secretary, American Psychological Association, Lawrence, Kansas. '"F^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has marked -- the dawn of a new era, not only for the Pacific Coast, but for the nation. It has awakened the Republic to the fact that the "frontier" had vanished; that every section of the United States enjoys the blessings and the luxuries of a civilization which brings to the door of every home in the land the rich gifts of genius, progress and national aspiration. It has com- manded the admiration of the world; it has symbolized the traditions, the ideals and the glory of the Republic, glowing against the dark background of a war-saddened year as a beacon light of peace, prosperity and good-will. JAMES A. O'GORMAN United States Senator, New York City, New York. 122 f the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 THE Panama-Pacific Exposition is a message to the world that America stands for a brave peace and an equilibrium of what is finest in moral and physical attainment. It is the voice of West and East, South and North, proclaiming one vital nation whose sentiments are for a courageous peace that guar- antees justice, liberty and equality to all of its citizens and a consideration for the welfare and happiness of all the world. CHASE S. OSBORN Former Governor of Michigan, Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition signalizes the most stupendous achievement of American genius and un- conquerable enterprise which has linked ocean to ocean and continent to continent, and, while the olden hemisphere is riven by the clash and crash of war, illustrates in the new the rich and varied fruits and blessed gifts of rational liberty and unifi- cation of all nations in the arts and crafts of peace. May it symbolize and presage to the world the unification of all the children of the Common Father of Humanity in a world frater- nity of nations free and pulsing with the spirit of the Prince of Peace! RE v. ALPHONSUS E. OTIS, s. j. President, Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana. THE products of Nature, Art, Science, Manufacture and In- dustry have never before been shown in such diversity and perfection as at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Never has nature been so skilfully used in supplementing the work of the architect. Never has there been so much beauty and wisdom assembled in such a limited space or time. The countless thousands who have visited the Fair will bring to their homes in this and other lands inspiration and education, the benefits of which to humanity may well be said to be im- measurable. Important as these advantages are, to my mind the crowning benefit to civilization will be the aftermath. After the restoration of peace, the brain and brawn of Europe will be drawn to our shores, where shall arise a civilization whose light Portrays Moral and Physical Excellence Illustrates Blessings of Rational Liberty Aftermath to be Crowning Benefit 123 fth e Exposition * San Francisco, Leaves Eternal Indelible Impress Distinct Advance in World Betterment Monument in Country* 's History shall illumine to the remotest regions of the earth even as the Tower of Jewels sheds its rays over the Exposition. D. F. O'BRIEN President, The A. P. Smith Manufacturing Company, East Orange, New Jersey. THIS luminous record of the world's marvelous progress in the industries, in invention, in the arts and sciences, and in the multiform expressions of man's varied activities in the broad fields of discovery, skill and labor, will leave its indelible impress upon the world for all time. This shining example of the victories of peace, shown to the nations at the very time when a great, destructive, unexampled European war was in its furious progress, a war constituting the crime of all the centuries, has been an illustration noble enough to bring shame to that black era of colossal folly, sin and carnage, and by the striking contrast presented it tells a splendid story of the well nigh immeasurable capabilities of enlightened men and women over all the globe when united in that all-compelling solidarity of peaceful human endeavor which makes for the true destiny of the race. HARRISON GRAY OTIS Editor, "Times," Los Angeles, California. THE successful assembling, in one Exposition, of men's great- est achievements at a time when men's hearts are torn with strife and turmoil, marks a distinct advance in world bet- terment. Out of this great world service will emerge a higher type of internationalism, a new era of peace and prosperity, and with its closing hours will come a quickening of the spirit of universal Brotherhood. w H O LIN President, Seattle Transportation Club, Seattle, Washington.

A. D. PARKER Vice President, Colorado and Southern Railway Company, Denver, Colorado. HAVING had the honor of being officially connected with al- most every International Exposition in America and Europe held since I9QO, and having also had the opportunity of visiting them, I can say that architecturally upon its ideal site upon its wonderfully worked out scheme upon its general effect the Panama-Pacific Exposition surpassed all those pre- viously held. I believe it will have the influence it deserves in developing the interest in and appreciation of good work in the West just as its forerunners did for the East and Middle West of the United States. JOSEPH PENNELL Artist; Honorary Secretary, London Advisory Committee, London, England. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has typified the world's peace, the world's service and the world's patriot- ism during this last year of war and turmoil.

PARKER Assistant Director, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Treasury Department, Washington, District of Columbia.

I would have felt repaid for the cost of my trip just to have had the pleasure of riding about those beautiful grounds at night, set off by the gorgeous Tower of Jewels. JOSEPHINE CORLISS PRESTON Superintendent of Public Instruction, Olympia, Washington. NOTHING more wonderfully emphasizes the marvelous growth and development of our country than the ability to have on our western slope an Exposition of such unparalleled beauty and charm within less than 150 years from the time when the same section was an undeveloped world. Surely the example thus set and the broad and world-patriotic sentiment which has been always in evidence cannot but inspire and help on the great work of international betterment. A. j. PORTER President, The Shredded Wheat Company, Niagara Falls, New York. npHE Exposition has in fact been one of the great historic *- events of our country. It has been a lasting benefit to the world, and the coming together there of the leaders of thought and industry of every section and of every clime will be the means of advancing our civilization.

JOHN L PATTERSON Dean, College of Arts and Letters, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky. T BELIEVE that, more than any one thing in our previous his- * tory, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has awak- ened the people of the United States of America to the great possibilities of this country as a power in the educational and industrial world, and the brilliant success of its congresses has established a standard which may serve for similar conferences for many years to come. BARONESS ROSE POSSE President, Departmental Congress on Physical Education, Inter-Congress of Education, Boston, Massachusetts.

The Exposition has produced a higher type of internationalism. ELWOOD c. PERISHO President, State College of South Dakota, Brookings, South Dakota. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has undoubt- edly done more to unify the different sections of this coun- try than anything that has ever taken place, by bringing the peoples of the North, East, South and West together and mak- ing them realize as never before that they are all part of and make up the greatest nation of the earth. This accomplishment is worth more to our country than any trade expansion or any form of material wealth that may accrue to it by reason of the holding of this Exposition. JOSEPH HYD g PRATT Secretary, American Association of State Highway Officials, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. E Panama-Pacific Exposition will account as not the least of its achievements that, in an era of death and destruc- tion abroad, it has advocated, fostered and advanced the Amer- ican spirit of service, and in no direction or particular more markedly than in the realm of life insurance. For service is the soul of America. What would it profit us to gain the whole world and lose that soul? j D POWERS President, Commonwealth Life Insurance Company, Louisville, Kentucky. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition appears to me to be the most striking illustration we have yet had of the possibilities of human betterment and world progress, and I send from Hobart College congratulations on the remarkable work the Exposition has accomplished, and add to it the happy thought that "The gods send thread for the web begun.

T OOKING at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, * ' where the genius of man flowers in art, commerce and in- dustry, we take fresh hope of the future, and know that peace, not war, is the Great Destiny of humankind. The Panama Canal was well called the marriage of the Great Waters the blending of those seas whose waves lap the continents of the world. Beside the Golden Gate all peoples and all races have met in the celebration of these nuptials : brother builders, brother creators, aiding each other toward the Dawn. The rumble of battle cannot drown the Voice which speaks from out these temples of art and commerce and industry: "God hath made of one blood all nations of men."

'T^HE exhibits of things educational were, without question, -- the most complete of any ever shown in the world, and were an inspiration to hundreds of thousands of school children, lay people and educators. The wondrous beauty of the archi- tecture of the Exposition will probably linger in the memory of the millions who saw it long after the exhibits are forgotten. Many will think of the Exposition as the birthplace of their peace thoughts. May every flash from the Tower of Jewels be symbolic of a ray of peace going out to the people of the world! O. M.

BOIES PENROSE United States Senator, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 130 f the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 E Panama-Pacific International Exposition has given more of beauty to the world than any other event in history; it has given more joy to more people, more education to more seekers of truth, and more material benefit to its participants for a longer period than any other Exposition. EDGAR B. PIPER Editor, "Oregonian," Portland, Oregon. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition was a thing of -- beauty, whose joy and fragrance will long remain with all who witnessed it. The great European war, with its dreadful destruction of life and property and its entailment of debts and sorrow upon future generations, caused this wonderful exhibi- tion to stand out the more grandly as illustrative of human genius and peaceful industry. It is difficult to estimate the value of such an exhibition upon the minds of those who visited it. We may be sure that it has preached an eloquent sermon to the multitudes from all lands who enjoyed its privileges. Let us hope that the sermon will not soon be lost, and that our great nation may avoid that spirit of "Over Seas Commercialism and Territorial Hunger" which has brought such distress to our kinsmen on the other side of the world. C. T. RUSSELL Pastor, New York City Temple, Brooklyn, New York. THE Panama-Pacific Exposition has been a great educator. It has made the world better, brighter, richer, and has added to the sum of human happiness. To visit and study the Panama-Pacific Exposition was in itself a liberal education. The completion of the Panama Canal, the Long Distance Tele- phone and the Panama-Pacific Exposition mark the high points of progress in 1915. These all make for "world peace, world service and world patriotism," for which the Panama-Pacific Exposition has so well stood sponsor. H. H.

This magnifi- cent and impressive celebration has stood as a beacon light of man's noblest ideals, casting its rays of inspiration, encourage- ment and hope into the darkest recesses of the Universe.

ELIHU ROOT Former United States Senator, New York City, New York. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition was conceived to celebrate the bringing together of the Atlantic and the Pacific. Its effect has been to bring together as never be- fore the East and the West of our great country.

THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has given the world a clear view of the extreme limits attained by human research and progress, visualized with photographic accuracy and simplicity and framed with an impressive grandeur, inspir- ing both wonder and pride at its human conception. Celebrat- ing the achievement of the age in the uniting of the world's two greatest oceans, and marking as it does the most progressive and intensive epoch in the world's history, the lessons of the Exposition cannot fail to inspire and accelerate a civilization that, having been dealt a staggering blow by the gods of war, is struggling valiantly to retain its poise and uphold the standard of liberty and justice. j. s. ROWE Vice President, Aetna Life Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been the one world magnet which tended to draw peoples of all nations together. During this awful period of human distress and suffering it has projected across the war clouds which en- velope the Nations of the Old World a great column of light, proclaiming that the twenty-two Republics of the Western World still stood and will always stand for Peace, Commercial Prosperity and Happiness, not only on this Continent but in all parts of the World. Its influence will stand throughout the decades to come for Peace, Prosperity, Commercial Progress, Happiness. Its influence for good will shape the destiny of generations yet unborn. HENRY T.

To assemble representatives of the world's races and reduce their peaceful aspirations and constructive thought to the printed page for the uplift of coming generations; to assemble the handiwork of the world's artisans and artists within palaces, themselves gems of art; to hold out the hand of fellowship and bid all races and kindreds lift up their heads and together enter the portals of equal privilege in a land of opportunity is an enduring monu- ment to the genius, the greatness and the goodness of a people devoted to the one great program, the extension of truth, the illumination of minds long darkened by oppression, the sup- pression of ignorance and cruelty, individual, municipal, state and national unrighteousness. Such I conceive to be the pro- gram of our country, and the Great Exposition has been another decided step toward the fulfillment of her destiny. O. P. RUTLEDGE Secretary, The Insurance Federation of Missouri, St. Louis, Missouri.

As THE happiness and welfare of the individual is the aim and object of all good government, so the promotion and en- couragement of cordial commercial relationships, interstate and international, not only bring the individuals together in true harmonious and peaceful rivalry, but also confer on communi- ties and nationalities the proud honor of a closer contact with each other, without which a greater friendship is impossible; and this must inevitably result in a growing regard for others, which will tend in no small measure to herald the coming of that International Union which will have a permanent and prosperous Peace for its Universal Emblem.

H E SHARRER President, Northern States Life Insurance Company, Hammond, Indiana. THE Exposition's existence and activities have constantly served to remind the nations of the permanent value of our civilization. It has held aloft the banners of industry, applied science, education, art, and humanitarianism. Further- more, it has been a great boon to the people of the United States, for it offered a specific inducement to people east of the Missis- sippi to cross the country and become better acquainted with American resources and life. ALBERT SHAW Editor, "The American Review of Reviews," New York City, New York. THE Exposition has demonstrated the value of an ideal.

Thousands of those who have made the trip West, attracted chiefly by the great Exposition, have not only witnessed one of the greatest creations of its kind ever seen in the world, in the magnificence and beauty of the Exposition itself, but have come to learn in a personal first-hand way something of the beauty and grandeur of our great Ameri- can West, a section of country little known by them before. In this respect alone the Exposition has been of inestimable worth. C. L. STONE Passenger Traffic Manager, The Missouri Pacific Railway, St. Louis, Missouri. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition was the first -*- World's Fair to classify Insurance under the head of Social Economy, to visualize its world-wide workings through rep- resentative exhibits, and to gather its workers and allies into a World's Insurance Congress: thus becoming the first authori- tative public body to direct the eyes of the world to the preg- nant facts that Insurance is a social process even more vitally than it is a commercial process, and that it in particular ex- emplifies today, in practical form and on a world-wide scale, the essence of that true democracy under whose ultimate sway individual manhood will everywhere be united to achieve col- lective efficiency, and sovereign nations will all be united to insure the reign of peaceful civilization.

The Exposition has brought people from the East to the West, where they have been astonished at the wonderful prog- ress which their brothers in the West have made toward the solution of the tremendous problems which are confronting them.

THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition originated in the minds of men as the noblest indication of World's peace among the civilized nations. It was undertaken as a service to humanity by showing the beneficent results of gra- cious amity and glorious brotherhood. It was initiated as a token, from the Great Republic, of the respect and esteem for one another that should be entertained by all races. It was conducted as an agency of good-will now and hereafter and of the promise of the great future for the happiness, the progress and the prosperity of all mankind. It was closed with a bene- diction from on high that civilization may increase its efficiency, manliness may establish its grandeur and that love for fellow men may control now and always all the people of the earth. HOMER H. SEERLEY President, Iowa State Teachers College, Cedar Falls, Iowa. THE Exposition marks an epoch in world progress surpassing any in all the ages past. Of the hundreds of thousands in attendance not one perhaps failed to contrast in his mind the difference between conditions in the United States and in Eu- rope, and to register a vow that his services would be given to the propagation of international fraternity, to the end that the coming together of nationalists as friendly rivals in the pursuits of peace may take the place of armed contests for spotlight positions as the domineering force among civilized nations. De- spite prevailing conditions, the Exposition has given a tremen- dous impetus to human betterment, and this fact will become more apparent with the passing years. HARRY L.

JOHN T. STONE President, Maryland Casualty Company, Baltimore, Maryland. '~pms was an Exposition where all the World was welcome -*- and where men might meet without fear. So vast was its scope and so wide-spread its fame, that they came from every land and clime to behold its wonder. Best of all, they learned its spirit, forgetting strife and unrest and finding that by con- trast this was holy ground, and that peace, good-will and brotherhood are more potent for man's best good than all the might of war. This, alone, was priceless. H. W. STRICKLER President, Midland Insurance Company, St. Paul, Minnesota. 148 fihe Exposition * San Francisco, OF THE great expositions of the world during the past twenty- five years, none can compare with the Panama-Pacific. Its location, its beauty of design, and its spirit give it pre-emi- nence. From an educational point of view, the value of the Panama-Pacific Exposition to the people of this and other countries can hardly be estimated. It seems to me that its every attribute has made it a most notable and successful under- taking. The buildings and the exhibitions will remain a life- long picture. CHARLES M. SCHWAB Chairman and President, Bethlehem Steel Corporation, New York City, New York. great Exposition, like others which have been held, served the country in many ways, but to a much greater extent than any other it caused the people to realize the great- ness of their own country. This was done not only by the magnificent exhibits in the buildings, but by causing people to see, in going to San Francisco, the greatest exhibit of all their country. Surely every man, woman and child who traveled across the continent to the Exposition, or went by the Panama Canal, was made a better American. GEORGE SMART Editor, "Iron Trade Review," Cleveland, Ohio. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition will stand for years as the most remarkable exhibit of the world's marvel- ous progress in art, science, and every effort of human skill that makes for the betterment of civilization. No American could visit the Exposition without a greater pride and admiration for the greatness and grandeur of his country. Every visitor must have been impressed with the ever present spirit of peace, in- dustry and life of the Exposition in contrast to the horrible conditions of turmoil and war in Europe. National and inter- national advances in humanity and progress must be the in- evitable result of the Exposition, the greatest one the world has ever witnessed.

FRANK E SHEDD Secretary, The Shedd Family Association, Boston, Massachusetts. is International Exposition has been the acme of all expo- sitions and cannot help but assist in the betterment of humanity. I was impressed with its colossal magnificence, its beauty and instructive advantages. It has brought all parts of our country more closely together than ever before, our patriot- ism has been inspired, and we have profited from an educa- tional standpoint. These are the embodiment of progress. E. G. SCHAFER President, German-American Fire Insurance Company, Washington, District of Columbia. ONE feature alone of the Panama-Pacific International Ex- position should result in immeasurable value to the whole world. The recognition and exposition of the benefits to the world of one of humanity's most highly developed institutions for the relief of the distressed and the lessons taught of the mar- velous results of scientific co-operation in the form of insurance should lead the people of all nations to recognize the value of a world-wide patriotism rather than love for one's own country alone; a patriotism and a brotherhood so universal and so sen- sible that all nations will stand ready to aid every other nation to attain its highest possible development and to give freely of its best in fair exchange for the best of all other nations. It should lead to universal recognition of the value of gaining by giving, and that destruction of one injures all. Then may fear and hatred between nations be turned to friendly co-operation for mutual betterment, and senseless destruction cease. W. H. SCHAEFER President, Toledo Travelers Life Insurance Company, Toledo, Ohio. 150 f the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has not only commemorated fittingly one of the most marvelous achieve- ments in the world's history the Panama Canal but, by pre- sentation of all that symbolizes America's unparalleled progress it has also commanded the admiration and respect of the nations for this great country, has linked all together in closer bonds, has stimulated all to higher endeavor, and has laid the founda- tion for that growth of fraternal world relations necessary to the fullest understanding and the highest conception of the true brotherhood of man. w s SCARBOROUGH President, Wilberforce University, Wilberforce.Ohio. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has typified an achievement not only in the matter of a celebration, in which the world has joined, of an accomplishment on the part of this nation in the uniting of the two great oceans, but an achievement that marks the uplifting of every fixed ideal that looks to human advancement and culture, science, skill and mechanical art, and industrial and commercial progress as well and, withal, an achievement for human betterment the world over. So in memory will it abide; so in history will it endure. H. P. SIMPSON Editor, "Argus," Rock Island, Illinois. If?

All are in its debt for an educative influence of great value; for a permanent mile-stone on the highroad of progress; for a strong force towards the truer unification and surer solidarity of the country we all love. The Atlantic and the Pacific, New Hampshire and California, are as far apart in miles as ever, but in thought, in spirit, in the common purpose of patriotism, they are very close together; and the Panama-Pacific Exposition has done much to make them so.

THE triumphant close of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition completes an achievement of energy, efficiency, courage, and steadfast endeavor in the cause of human pro- gress without a parallel among similar efforts. In the history of a time marred by the hideous record of the perversion of vast intellectual and material power and superb physical courage to the promotion of every form of ruin, savage ferocity, and death, the splendid story of the Exposition will stand out white and clear, with its testimony that sanity, the ideals of beauty and the beneficent application of man's best powers and resources still persist and justify the strong faith that peace shall prevail over discord among the nations. ROBERT SHARP President, The Tulane University of Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana. AT the gates of the Exposition opened while the gates of Europe were closed, gives augury that the people of our vast nation will continue so to ennoble the arts of peace be- yond and above the prizes of war that peace may become more glorious and war more detestable.

'"TYPIFYING a world patriotism for which the Exposition has -*- stood sponsor during a year of turmoil and strife, it is most fitting that we lift our voice in praise of a gigantic undertaking, the very nature of which will leave its imprint in letters of living memory for human betterment and world progress. GEO. SCHLOSSER Secretary, National Editorial Association, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition was in the fullest *- sense an exposition of the progress of the world to the very present, and in itself illustrated the very height of achievement in world advancement. In perfection of design, architecture, illumination and structural massiveness, it was beyond one's power to describe or even imagine. In the splendid recognition of the great religious, social, peace and temperance movements, the Exposition has contributed in a very large way to the relig- ious, moral and social needs of humanity. B. S. STEADWELL President, World's Purity Federation, La Crosse, Wisconsin. THIS Exposition has made a great contribution to the life of the nation and of the world. The method of arrangement, the remarkable completeness of the exhibits under the trying conditions in. Europe, have rendered a service to our own country that is of inestimable value. It has also been of a dis- tinct service because of the unification in America of the nations of the world at this time. WILLIAM F. SLOCUM President, Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

As a display of electrical illumination it has been unique and inspiring. Its nightly spectacle will ever linger in our memories. HOLTON H. SCOTT Past President, National Electric Light Association, New York City, New York. A LTHOUGH held during a year when the world was stricken ** with the awful calamity of war, the Panama-Pacific In- ternational Exposition has yet, by bringing the nations to- gether in friendly rivalry exemplifying their progress in the sciences, arts and industries, performed a mighty work for peace. It constitutes a force that will in the future influence the great evolutionary process by which humanity will gradually achieve a higher civilization and human betterment, and speed the day of universal peace and good-will among men. HALVOR STEENERSON Representative in Congress, Crookston, Minnesota. TT WAS my good fortune to visit the Exposition, to inspect the * various exhibits, and to breathe the air of inspiration, for it was not the ordinary atmosphere that greeted the visitor once he arrived on the Exposition grounds. The thought occurred to me then, as I watched the people of the various nations now at war, everywhere smilingly greeting each other, that if their brothers across the seas could have seen them and feasted their eyes upon this wonderfully beautiful Fair, one of the greatest triumphs of the creative genius of man, and sym- bolizing the accomplishments of peace, their abhorrence for war would have been so great that the titanic conflict in Europe would have been most abruptly terminated. It was a great Exposition, the memory of which will grow brighter as years go by, especially coming as it did at a time when Europe was contributing the most awful chapter to its "Biography of Nations." A D SOMMERS Editor and Publisher, "See America First" Magazine, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. 154 fthe Exposition * San Francisco., THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has brought the people of the nations who have taken part into closer friendship, and will go a great way in bringing the nations of the world at peace with each other. In the next place, it will bring more business to the United States for the years to come, as the people of the other nations will find that the United States can supply all of their needs. w. w. SNYDER Editor, "Orange County Workman," Newburgh, New York. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition is an achieve- ment of phenomenal proportions. It reveals the varied and inexhaustible resources of our country, its ability to stand alone if necessary, the unity of all its citizens and their devo- tion to the principles of our national constitution. The history of the Exposition is a fine proof of our national patriotism. FREDERICK S. SPIEGEL Mayor, Cincinnati, Ohio. TTTHAT this Exposition has been able to accomplish in the * way of human betterment and world progress will have a far-reaching effect. It has achieved success in making America better known and better understood by our own people, as well as by those of other lands. j F A STRONG Governor, Territory of Alaska, Juneau, Alaska. T JOIN in the toast offered to the greatest Exposition the world ! has ever seen, because its Spirit has been the advancement of peace, intelligence and education. The Soul of the Fair has been Progress, not alone in material things but in those finer and grander attributes which make for the betterment of humanity. As the thrift movement goes on year after year we shall never lose sight of the fact that its great inspiration came from the benign influences of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. s w STRAUS President, American Society for Thrift, Chicago, Illinois. Commerce of Nation Given Big Impetus Splendid Proof of National Patriotism Makes America Better Known Exposition Influences Thrift Movement 155 fth e Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 Better Citizenship Will Result Loudly Sounds Call of the West Serves Humanity Through Peace I BELIEVE that the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in bringing together the commercial and educational in- terests of so many great nations in such a fraternal spirit, and in providing for the people of these nations the opportunity of actually seeing their own, as well as the world's progress, will make of us, individually, better, bigger men, women and citi- zens, and collectively, better, broader, friendlier nations. E. A. STUART President, Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company, Seattle, Washington. LAYING aside the contemplation of the accomplishments of the Exposition, which were the immediate aim of the undertaking, it is gratifying to dwell for a moment on the really great thing it has done. The feeble, unheeded campaign of those who recognize in the great West an unequaled field for the sightseer, was lifted by this great Fair from a common ap- peal to the dignity of a compelling invitation. Never again will the western man by reason of his enthusiasm over western possi- bilities and western scenery be characterized by his eastern brother as "the frenzied optimist." Today there are falling from the lips of hundreds of thousands of people all over this broad land, words of praise of American natural wonders and scenery, and tomorrow and forever the tourist caravan will move westward. We regard the Panama-Pacific International Exposition as the most beneficial thing that ever occurred in promoting the interests of the West and of our State. WILLIAM SPRY Governor of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah. TF THE Panama-Pacific Exposition can stimulate the principle *- of international peace, it will render a great service to human- ity. The United States of America has set the finest example of peaceful federation that the world has ever seen. Similar federations for each continent, or for the whole earth, would prove an unspeakable blessing to the human race. J. E. SWEARINGEN State Superintendent of Education, Columbia, South Carolina. 156 fthe Exposition * San Francisco, 'T^HE magnificent Panama-Pacific Exposition now closing in -*- triumph is a lasting monument to national pride. There have been many world's fairs since the Centennial was cele- brated in Philadelphia, but it is not probable that this genera- tion can hope to see another. It is peculiarly fitting that on the farthest shore of our continent the sun should set upon the last and greatest of them all. It will remain an imperishable mem- ory of beauty and splendor to those who saw it. E. T. STOTESBURY Drexel, Morgan & Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. To MY mind the Panama-Pacific International Exposition is the most beautiful and the most inspiring manifestation of that "Co-operative Internationalism "which must be the key- note of that noble Psalm of the Life more Abundant which will express the next stage in the evolution of Humanity, and the development of which to World proportions, in every depart- ment of human activity, is the task we face. MAY WRIGHT SEWALL International Conference of Women Workers to Promote Permanent Peace, Indianapolis, Indiana. THE Panama-Pacific Exposition has demonstrated to the world the force, character, genius, resourcefulness and strength of the people of the United States. I consider this Exposition a most potential influence in our domestic and for- eign affairs. WILLIAM ALDEN SMITH United States Senator, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Speaking only as an artist and, frankly, without the range of imagination that sees the vast social implications of such an Exposition, I hope there may be carried to innumerable other and less beautiful cities and villages of the world some feeling for the color, the significance and lyrical beauty of the Expo- sition s architecture. THOMAS WOOD STEVENS Director of Drama, Carnegie Institute ot'Technology, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. THE influences wielded through the Exposition, and the in- spirations stimulated by it, are difficult to measure or anticipate. It undoubtedly established firmer union and in- spired better and more devoted citizenship. It appealed to the patriotism of all American visitors, and inculcated a love of the beautiful and the chaste. It served to cement understandings and foster closer relationships with foreign nations, and a mu- tual respect and good-will. c H SCHLACKS General Manager, Remington Arms Company, Eddystone, Pennsylvania. OUR earnest wishes are for the re-establishment of an even higher type of internationalism than that which all nations were so earnestly striving to establish and had attained before the present European calamity occurred. May the commend- able efforts of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in this direction, preceded by the remarkable results attained by it, be crowned with complete success! CARL F. STURHAHN Manager, Rossia Insurance Company of Petrograd, Hartford, Connecticut. ~T) Y HOLDING high the torch of culture when the world was like *-' to be deluged with greed and blood, the Exposition has been the helper of all those who would live by the spirit. W. H.

CARL SCHOLZ President, The American Mining Congress, Chicago, Illinois. HOLDING aloft the supreme standards of human achieve- ment and accentuating their value as the fruitful results of peace, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has rendered a signal service to mankind by lighting a beacon of safety and hope amid a storm of universal distress. R. C. STEARNES State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Richmond, Virginia. MAY the larger world outlook so fittingly emphasized by the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and the con- gresses held under its auspices be realized by all nations partici- pating therein! May the world soon learn that the injunctions to the individual "to love his neighbor as himself" and "to do unto others as he would be done by" apply with equal force to communities and peoples! If every nation will follow the practice of putting itself in the other nation's place when reach- ing diplomatic conclusions, war and its disastrous consequences will cease and world-wide peace with its attendant blessings will be maintained. If the bringing together by the National Education Association of representatives from thirty-one coun- tries in an international congress on education helps in any way to secure a realization of this desired end, it must be regarded as a success. D w SPRINGER Secretary, National Education Association of the United States, Ann Arbor, Michigan. THE Panama-Pacific Exposition has accomplished a grand work for humanity. It has proclaimed to the world that enterprise, a higher internationalism and a broader view of all things material, is possible under any environment. HOMER P.

DAVID SNEDDEN, State Commissioner of Education, Boston, Massachusetts. THE Panama-Pacific Exposition is the beautiful triumph of the age in art, science, and human progress, a worthy ex- emplar of a world-interested achievement in transportation, a potent argument for the arts of peace and the resulting happi- ness of the people. EDWIN ERLE SPARKS President, The Pennsylvania State College, State College, Pennsylvania. THE Exposition has been one of the few truly international influences that work for peace in a world torn by war. Its demonstration of the essential fraternity of all men of all nations who engage in productive arts surely will have its effect in the movement toward the re-establishment of peace. E. FRENCH STROTHER Managing Editor, "World's Work," Garden City, New York. THE Exposition gave impetus to the arts, sciences and com- merce, and to the prevention of diseases, which has been my life work. I know this from personal observation. NATHAN STRAUSS Atlantic City, New Jersey. MAY industrial advancement throughout the world, and the spirit of international brotherhood typified by the Pana- ma-Pacific International Exposition, exert a salutary and con- trolling influence which shall eliminate war and become the inspiration of the future! E F SWEET Assistant Secretary of Commerce, Washington, District of Columbia. I 6O fth e Exposition * San Francisco, WHILE there are many good results from the Exposition, under the present world-war in Europe, the most im- pressive lesson of the Exposition to me is the great good that comes from nations co-operating in the world's progress; for it is in such co-operation, not in antagonism, that civilization advances. Even the smallest and weakest nation can contribute to the welfare of all. JOSEPH SWAIN President, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has offered a world example of the advancement of peaceful arts. In so doing it has advanced the cause bound up therein, of the free- dom, work and happiness of women. FREDERICK H. SYKES President, Connecticut College, New London, Connecticut. THE most lasting accomplishment of the Exposition has been to make Americans better acquainted with their own country. It has drawn to the Pacific Coast many thousands from the Atlantic, Southern and Central States who would not otherwise have had the understanding they now have of what this great country of ours really is. R. E. STOUT Managing Editor, "Star," Kansas City, Missouri. A MERICA claims the Exposition, for what it typifies, as its own. 4* The spirit of internationalism, the promise of universal brotherhood, which the Exposition carried to the wounded nations of the earth, seems quite plainly to be part of the Divine scheme of things. May we not regard the Exposition as an achievement of Peace which is designed to emphasize the sinfulness of War? Its greatest work has been in the cause of higher internationalism.

'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition was the great -*- object lesson of peace set over against Europe ablaze as the result of war. Long may its memories and its lessons abide! JOHN Q. TILSON Representative in Congress, New Haven, Connecticut. T T THAT this great Exposition typifies and has accomplished is * * well expressed by a distinguished New England lecturer in describing the universe: "Not a disorderly, disconnected heap, but a beautiful whole, stamped throughout with unity so as to be an image of the One Infinite Spirit. Nothing stands alone. All things have been knit together, each existing for all and all for each." s Y Manager, Queen Insurance Company, Atlanta, Georgia. '"T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been a for- *- tunate occurrence during this time of war. It has been a silent yet forceful expression of the fact of the interlocking of the civilizations of the world that there is a prevalent scientific mind and a moral religious consciousness which is as broad as the race. EDWARD H. TODD President, College of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington. 162 ftb e Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 THE Exposition has done much to improve the friendly rela- tions between the United States and countries with whom this was needed. On the minds of the millions who visited it, it has left deep impression of architectural beauty unsurpassed, which will last them their lives long. San Francisco has trium- phantly vindicated my prophecy that she knows how. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT New Haven, Connecticut. PROGRESS and development in arts, sciences and commerce are exhibited and typified at the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposition in the most effective manner for the education of great masses of people. JOHN K TENER Former Governor of Pennsylvania, New York City, New York. IN ITS exhibits, architecture and grounds the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has stood as a timely reminder that art and science persist and are advancing even while half the world is disrupted by war. May the spirit of peace and inter- national tolerance and understanding, which has dwelt for many months within the Exposition gates, live and progress to make this a better world in which to live! GUY E. TRIPP Westinghouse Electric Company, Chicago, Illinois. THE Exposition has done much for human betterment and world progress, and not the least of the great and perma- nent good it has accomplished has been the education of many thousands of our people here in the East who have, by visiting it, learned to know what a wonderful country we have. Espe- cially have they learned the vast extent of the territory and in- terests of the Pacific Coast States, and what an important element they, their people and their products form in the com- fort, health and pleasure of the people in the United States as a whole. w ^ TRUESDALE President, Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, New York City, New York. 163 Life-long Impression on Millions Provides Education for Masses Teaches Persistence of Art and Science Has Educated Thousands of Americans f tb e Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 Uttermost Parts of Globe Benefited Great Step in International Progress Pictures Man's Inherent Genius IF THIS great Exposition, which has gathered together the most wonderful exhibits of the arts of all the countries of the world ever before assembled, could be given a voice in the last hours of its life to speak out to all mankind, it might well proclaim that its beneficent influences have reached and blessed the uttermost parts of the world. R v TAYLOR Vice President and General Manager, Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company, Mobile, Alabama. WHATEVER exercises a potent influence towards making a nation out of this vast territory and its population drawn from many lands and races, passes into history as a step in na- tional and in international progress. The Exposition has earned this place in history. The great achievement of linking the Pacific Slope with the East by telephone, which has been asso- ciated with and has been a part of the Exposition, has made each city, village and hamlet a center of the nation. Commer- cial and social nationalism is therefore in process of achieve- ment. Broad nationalism calls also for a national ideal and a national honor. When some considerable measure of these more elusive components of true nationalism has become ours, the influence of this nation for the peace and welfare of the world will be irresistible. H B THAYER President, Western Electric Company. New York City, New York. T T TE HAVE been most profoundly impressed at the Exposition * * as to the inherent power and genius in the mind of man. When all those splendid stores gathered from the earth, the sea and the sky shall have been scattered, when all the works of brain and hand of man shall have disappeared, when all that glorious panorama of beauty shall have faded, when all the lessons taught by that greatest material encyclopedia in worldly history shall have permeated humanity in lessened force, there shall yet be in the minds of men the power and genius to re- produce it. M s THURBER President, Traffic Club, Minneapolis, Minnesota. 164 fthe Exposition * San Francisco, T HE Exposition is the personification of energy, action and system, a universal inspiration to all branches of educa- tion.

"XToT only was there every opportunity to learn about plants * ^ and flowers and their appropriate settings, but there were featured high ideals through this work of landscape art which cannot fail to benefit those who were fortunate enough to visit and see the Exposition, and through their influence future generations will be uplifted by these emblems of purity and truth which can only be portrayed in plant life.

E. D. TENNANT Snark of the Universe, Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, St. Louis, Missouri. T AM of the opinion that the Exposition has rendered a *- splendid service in promoting world peace, which may soon be accomplished. The big thing we should be thankful for is the spirit of restraint on the part of the American people. In spite of provocation, we as a nation have maintained an attitude of reasonableness and self-control. j. P. TREAT President, Colorado Woman's College, . Denver, Colorado. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition's unique and -- grand setting marks it as one of the greatest ever held anywhere at any time.

It is especially meritorious in view of the difficulties which were encountered. HENRY W. TAFT Of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, New York City, New York. THIS display of constructive growth and expansion, accom- plished under the influence of government by and for the people, is without parallel in the expositions of the past. The great Exposition stands as a silent but most eloquent testi- monial to the beauty and the value of those victories over the obstacles and mysteries of nature, which are wrought only when the sword is in its scabbard and man wars not upon his brother. It will stimulate every one of its myriad visitors to loftier senti- ments of patriotism, and renew their devotion to their country, whose mission is to preserve the citizen and to maintain its institutions, and promote by its example the cause of peace and good-will among the nations. c s THOMAS United States Senator, Denver, Colorado. THE Panama-Pacific Exposition was the choice and perfect flower of Peace.

THE Exposition has exemplified man's service to his fellow man. Pedantic learning and merely academic scholarship have been overshadowed in all exhibition groups, educational and industrial and commercial, by a splendid spirit of public service a demonstration how the products of the brain can be applied to the progress of the human race; and this valuable lesson has been given when the world is most sorely in need of it. GEO. B. UTLEY Secretary, American Library Association, Chicago, Illinois. IN THAT day, the Great Republic made straight and fair a new pathway through the earth for all men; and called the peo- ples of the earth to rejoice over it; to the uttermost parts thereof it cried, and the peoples hearkened to its voice. Around the altar which was raised, the nations took council of each other for the upbuilding of all, to the end that in the slow fulfillment of time all might become as one nation, founded on justice and dwelling together in unity, safety and peace! W. E. UNDERWOOD Editor, "Insurance Critic," New York City, New York. IT HAS been said that a face-to-face acquaintance with our neighbors and a knowledge of their activities and products go a long way toward good in community, state and interna- tional affairs.

THE triumph of the Panama-Pacific Exposition is a triumph of peace over war. It epitomizes what these United States of America are showing to the world: that it is possible for people of all races, all creeds, all conditions to live and work together in peace, comity and happiness. We are rephrasing Milton's epic to read, "Peace only hath her victories, war hath only sorrow and defeat." RODMAN WANAMAKER President, Rodman Wanamaker Indian Memorial, New York City, New York.

"XT EVER has it been my pleasure to view a more splendid monu- * ^ ment to the progressive accomplishment of American citizenship; and especially to my mind was the Exposition notable in that it stood as a tribute to courage, generosity, and persistency. It was a splendid achievement and all Americans owe it a real debt of gratitude. JAMES WITHYCOMBE Governor of Oregon, Salem, Oregon. 172 fth e Exposition * San Francisco, TF WE could only contrast to the peoples of the world the mil- -- lions who have been led onward and upward by what they have seen at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition with the greater millions 'who are being dragged backward and downward by war, there would be a world-wide determination to become capable of greater things in the arts and sciences and incapable of the strife that leads to and ends in war. JAMES WEBSTER Assistant Freight Traffic Manager, New York Central Lines, Chicago, Illinois. THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has expressed the highest development of the human intellect that is, in comparison with similar exhibits of the past. The marked progress made in science and art is prophetic of the fact that the mind of man is continually evolving its unlimited resources toward the advancement and glory of mankind. HENRY W. WATSON Representative in Congress, Longhorne, Pennsylvania. THE Panama-Pacific Exposition extended world-wide fra- ternity through the organization and association of men of the different nations. HARRY B WAS SELL, Secretary, Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. WHEN I studied the exhibits and fully realized that there was presented to the world in compact, concrete form all of the latest inventions, all of the advances of science, of art and of industry, the thought occurred to me that the Exposition had done the world a great service, drawing attention to those things that make for the highest development of civilization, human uplift and world progress; that even in the midst of the great world-war it was holding high at the portals of the Golden Gate the beacon light reflecting around the world the incom- parable victories of peace. E j WATSON President, National Drainage Congress, Columbia, South Carolina. Millions Elevated by Exposition Contact Highest Development of Human Intellect World-wide Fraternity Extended Victories of Peace Made Evident 173 f the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 Democratizes the Refinement of Life Sets Example of Righteousness Spreads Spirit of Universal Tolerance Sets Pace in Onward March THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has made its greatest contribution in giving the world a balanced vision of art and industry. Every branch of science and every de- partment of industry respond to the thrill of new life. Farm and market and factory feel the impulse toward better things. New meanings of education and of civil and social service are clear to the world's leaders. The Exposition has democratized and socialized the refinements of life. HENRY JACKSON WATERS President, Kansas State Agricultural College, Manhattan, Kansas. WE HOPE that through the influence and example of the Exposition and of our great country, World Peace may soon be established, and that righteousness may prevail in all the nations of the World. (MRS } MAY LEONARD WOODRUFF Corresponding Secretary, Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Allendale, New Jersey. INTERNATIONALISM is the one great note of the day, and The Theosophical Society, which has labored so zealously for forty years to spread the spirit of universal tolerance and under- standing between man and man, religion and religion, state and state, welcomes with profound appreciation any activity that helps to disseminate this spirit more widely among the nations of the earth. The Exposition has played a very important part in the spreading of this spirit. It aimed high and has achieved, and the world will be better for its effort. A. P. WARRINGTON National President, The American Section of The Theosophical Society, Los Angeles, California. T IE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has set the pace in the onward march of science, art and civilization. May it ever stand at the head of the column! CHAS. E. WELLER Secretary, National Shorthand Reporters' Association, La Porte, Indiana. 174 Tbe jg ac y of the Exposition * San Francisco, '~r>HE verdict of the world should be that the Exposition marks -- an epoch in the progress of this nation and world toward a betterment of the human race, and the permanent activities that have grown out of it should for all time make the Panama-- Pacific International Exposition stand out as a mighty force for all that is good. EDWARD A. WOODS President, National Association of Life Underwriters, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 'THROUGH the gates of the Panama-Pacific International Ex- *- position shall close, its lights be extinguished and its streets be deserted by the thronging multitudes, yet its real accom- plishments shall be undying. Myriads have stood with wonder- ment and admiration before its rich fruitage gathered from home and school, from farm and factory, from mine and forge, from laboratory and studio, and grasped the lesson that final limitations to the powers of human mind have not been yet reached. Thousands have been stimulated by its many-sided congresses. The thoughtful and the careless alike have gone forth from its displays realizing that "Peace rules the day where reason rules the mind," and her abiding place must be in the souls of individuals. Students and geniuses of the present, and for ages to come, will find inspiration in the permanent records of this, Man's Greatest Exposition of Human Progress. GEO. B. WARNE President, The National Spiritualists' Association, Chicago, Illinois. 'THHE large conception of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, so wonderfully executed, must be a world- inspiration: first, as an encouragement to great endeavor under many difficulties; next, as a revelation of the nations one to another, and especially of the United States of America to all races and peoples; and finally, as a power for peace on earth and good-will toward men. JOHN o WILLSON President, Lander College, Greenwood, South Carolina. Mighty Force for All Good Inspiration for Ages to Come Great Power for Peace on Earth 175 T% e <jg ac y f the Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 Embodies Uplift of Civilization Matchless Beauty Enriches Many Lives Cradle of International Peace Inspiration to Coming Generations THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition is the embodi- ment of all that marks the great advance in civilization over the entire globe. Its natural ideal location on the shores of the Golden Gate of the great Pacific Ocean, where the Orient has touched elbows with the Occident, where the nations of the earth met to admire and study the wonders of the world with the nation that is at peace with war-stricken Europe this to me is the great achievement accomplished. GEO. E. WHITCOMB Secretary, American Association of Title Men, Northwood, Iowa. No ONE who saw the Exposition could fail to fall under the spell of its matchless beauty. The imagination and the unerring artistic instinct which wrought its objective expression struck a lasting blow upon the strings of the human heart. Many lives, enriched by its influence and ennobled by the majesty of its art, will for the first time henceforth reject in- harmony in architecture. "An* I should live a thousand years I never would forget it." FRANKLIN H. WENTWORTH Secretary, National Fire Protection Association, Boston, Massachusetts. LET us hope fervently that the vessels of a war-torn world, unlocking the Golden Gate to deposit tributes to the New World's monument' to patriotism, have but brought with them, bathed in the peaceful Pacific, fabrics for a cradle of interna- tional peace, as golden as its haven of refuge and as imperishable as the memory of America's great international triumph! MASSEY WILSON President, International Life .Insurance Company, St. Louis, Missouri. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition has set forth clearly the results of the steady advance of humanity, particularly on this side of the globe. It should stand forth as a monument to the progress of our people and as an inspiration to coming generations. JOSEPH WALSH Representative in Congress, New Bedford, Massachusetts. 176 e ^ 3e : j> ac y fthe Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 I AM of the opinion that all that was fine, noble and inspiring in American life found expression in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The undertaking itself stands to me as a proof that the indomitable spirit of our fathers still persists in the land, providing courage for every contingency. Aside from this there may be mentioned the Exposition's contribu- tion to the art and beauty of the world. By reason of our amazing progress in industry, invention and the sciences, we have been maligned by less virile peoples as "dollar mad." The Panama-Pacific is America's answer to the slander, for the sheer wonder of it attests our devotion to the ideal, our love of the dream, and our capacity for making the dream come true. My one regret is that the whole miracle of it could not have been preserved for our future joy and inspiration. CHARLES WHITMAN Governor of New York, Albany, New York. To HAVE brought together, at a time when half the world was torn with war, so vast and so graphic an exposition of the fruits of peace, to have shown so indisputably the benefits of peace in all the arts and sciences, in manufactures and in agri- culture, is to my mind the one thing above all others for which the whole world stands debtor to the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposition. JO H N N . WILLYS President, Willys Overland Automobile Company, Toledo, Ohio. E Exposition has contributed in many ways to world- betterment and its influence for good will continue through coming generations. It was for a higher type of international- ism. This will come from the Press Congress of the World with particular significance, because the Congress was born on the Exposition grounds and has already enlisted the support of the journalists of more than thirty of the leading nations of the world in a movement, through larger journalism, to larger public service. WALTER WILLIAMS President, Press Congress of the World, Columbia, Missouri. 177 Attests Devotion to the Ideal Peace Feature Exposition* s Greatest Glory Confers Benefit Upon Journalism ftb e Exposition * San Francisco, 1915 Gave Vision of Nezv Patriotism Supplies New Courage to Humanity Gives Vision of Nobler Things THE Exposition was more than an objective bit of beauty to be enjoyed through the senses; it was an inner experience, and served to deepen in us the sense of great things yet to be; it was full of the tonic of expectation and hopefulness; it afforded glimpses of a new patriotism and a new internationalism growing out of spiritual explorations and discoveries of one another's resources. May the tangible evidences of interna- tional fellowship and co-operation become more and more fruitful in those forms of reciprocal service which minister to child welfare, race betterment, and a high interpretation of life! CATHERINE R. WATKINS President, International Kindergarten Union, Washington, District of Columbia. 'T^HE Exposition has been a mobilization of the forces engaged -*- in winning the victories of peace and progress throughout the world at a time when over half the people of the universe are engaged in an appalling war of destruction. Humanity should find new courage and inspiration from the results of such an Exposition. When the hour of peace comes, then will the sig- nificance of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition reach the zenith of its glory and its usefulness to mankind. S. DAVIES WARFIELD Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee, Seaboard Air Line Railway, Baltimore, Maryland. T PRAISE and bless the Fair not alone for its competent notice -* of a great event in human history, or its speeding abroad of knowledge and quickening of the minds of men, or its gladden- ing of the love of beauty, or yet its broadening of sympathies for the works and ways of other men but most of all, for the help it has given so many of us to see our lives in relation to larger and nobler things, to dream dreams and see visions, to raise our thoughts out of the dull commonplace level of the plain, and lift up our eyes toward the hills, whence cometh our strength! BENJ. IDE WHEELER President, University of California, Berkeley, California. 178 ffbe Exposition * San Francisco, 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition marks the apex -- of developed art, culture and industry. She stands upon the Tower of Attainment, looking forward in confident expec- tation of greater achievement and closer interdependence between men of all races, creeds and climes in millennial brotherhood. w G WILSON Manager, Aetna Life Insurance Company, Cleveland, Ohio. \ GAINST a background of war at which civilization has stood ** aghast, the Panama-Pacific Exposition, marvelous fulfill- ment of incomparable dreaming, has stood as a beacon light pointing onward, beyond the bloody day, to the triumphs of civilization. It has been a monument to the triumphs of inter- national co-operation; a landmark as a world vision. All of us have a better understanding, a better vision of the world of the morrow, because of the accomplishments of this great Exposi- tion. FRANK B. WILLIS Governor of Ohio, Columbus, Ohio. '"T^HE Panama-Pacific Exposition has surpassed all others in its beautiful architecture, the character of its exhibits, and the various congresses held by the scientific bodies. But for this unfortunate war its success would have been even greater. As it is, the United States can be proud of it. WM. H. WILEY Treasurer, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, New York City, New York. ONE of the significant accomplishments of the Exposition has been the introduction of the great West to the people of the East. I doubt if any other event could have contributed so largely to this much desired end. It has made Americans know their own country in a broader sense and should contrib- ute largely to a more sympathetic and united states-wide citi- zenship. E H WUERPEL Director, St. Louis School of Fine Arts, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. 179 Marks Apex of Developed Art Gives Better Understanding to All Greatly Surpasses Other Expositions Americans Learn of Their Own Country f the Exposition* San Francisco, Mutual Co-operation Is Lesson Taught Creative Spirit Leaves Deep Impress Encourages Transcontinental Road Travel Embodies Unity of All the Arts THE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has done a work of supreme national importance in calling the people of the East to the country of the West, showing them its illimit- able opportunities and benefiting both East and West by draw- ing them more closely together in friendship, commerce, and mutual co-operation. WILLIAM SEAVER WOODS Editor, "Literary Digest," New York City, New York. T T TITH countless thousands, I shall look back to the glories * * of that most beautiful architectural scheme as a whole, and its many component parts of rare charm, with a thrill of joy and also a keen sense of regret at its vanishing into dust. How- ever, the creative spirit shall have left its impress deep in the minds of our people and those who came from afar to witness its demonstration, and cannot fail to rouse an ever stronger desire for higher and for better ideals. A A WEINMAN, Sculptor, Member, National Sculpture Society, Architectural League, American Federation of Arts, New York City, New York. "\Jo ACHIEVEMENT on either coast has served so thoroughly *-'^ as the Panama-Pacific Exposition in encouraging trans- continental road travel and in getting the people of the several states better acquainted. We look forward to the day when the passing procession of motor travelers between the Atlantic and the Pacific will be as shuttles for the increase of national thought and action. JOHN A WILSON President, American Automobile Association, New York City, New York. '"T^HE Exposition is the most marvelous embodiment of the *- unity of all the arts, and the message which it brings to the world is a prophecy of the unity of all peoples. This Library Congress, representing the two greatest educational forces, the school and the library, realizes the significance of having a part in this vision of the future. HARRIET A. WOOD President, Departmental Congress on Libraries, International Congress on Education, Portland, Oregon. I 80 f the Exposition * San Francisco, TN FOSTERING the progress of mechanical things which aim to -*- bring faster transportation and quicker and better inter- communication, the Exposition has furthered the development of the factors which promise to bring about world peace. I feel that we cannot over-emphasize the fact that fast transportation and better inter-communication have been the two most im- por^ant factors in the progress of civilization, and they now hold open to us the hope which has been denied to us by even the most optimistic philosophers; the hope that the nations of the world, in the most distant future, will become so closely inter-related that they will form a world nation. HENRY WOODHOUSE Governor of Aero Club of America, New York City, New York. E Panama-Pacific International Exposition has proven to the world that civilization in reality never hesitates or falters in its march; that in spite of evidences to the contrary, the world is better today than ever, and that advancement in every avenue of human endeavor is more pronounced today than it ever was before. WALTER WALKER Managing Editor, "Sentinel," Grand Junction, Colorado. 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition has given -* the world the first graphic illustrative demonstration of the purpose, methods and spirit, intensively and extensively, of the American Public School. A E W INSHIP Editor, "Journal of Education," Boston, Massachusetts. 'THHE Exposition has had a splendid educational effect on the *- entire population of our country. Its great extent and wonderful possibilities are, I think, now better known than ever before, and this knowledge must result in its rapid future de- velopment, j G WALKER President, Life Insurance Company of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia. 181 Develops Factors for World Peace Proves World Better Despite Appearances Effectively Portrays American Public School Educates Country's Entire Population The of the Exposition * San Francisco Eloquent of Spirit of World-partnership Promotes Peace by Spreading Knowledge Leaves Heritage of Bigger Thoughts 'T^HE Panama-Pacific International Exposition: which in its -- conception and successful accomplishment gave striking evidence of the practical genius and artistic taste of America; which in its interesting and unusual exhibits afforded impressive illustration of the development of the arts of peace; and which in its motive and object was eloquent of the new spirit which is to unite East and West and make all the world partners in the common enterprises of progress and humanity! WOODROW WILSON President of the United States, Washington, District of Columbia. ~\Jo AGENCY has proved or ever will prove more effective in -L^ promoting peace and good-will among men than the spread of knowledge and enlarged opportunity for intercourse. Inasmuch as the Exposition in the past months has been pre- eminent in the promotion of such knowledge and intercourse, it may be credited with having done notable work in the promo- tion of mutual understanding and good-will throughout the wor ld. J. BERNARD WALKER Editor-in-Chief, "Scientific American," New York City, New York.
