Excerpt from The Making of the White City, Vol. 12
When the conduct of the World's Fair was allotted by Congress to the city of Chicago, it cannot be denied that there was a general fear, and that there was generally good ground for that fear, that Chicago's conception of the housing of the World's Fair might be more interesting for material breadth than for aesthetic height; and the fear has certainly not been lessened by the report of Chicago's adoption of the Brobdingnagian scale.
