#001 The Worlds Congress Auxiliary Scrapbook, p. 0083
charge of the Auxiliary. Existing organizations of the different countries of
the world are therefore asked to merge their general proceedings for 1893 in
those of the appropriate World's Congresses, thus substituting a World's
Congress in which all will participate, for the usual annual meetings of differ-
ent organizations. The meetings to be held under the auspices of the World's
Congress Auxiliary are called either Congresses or Conferences. If the public
interest in the subject involved is great, and the expected attendance large,
the meeting is called a Congress; but if otherwise, it is termed a Conference.
To avoid the need of meetings elsewhere for the transaction of the strictly
necessary business of a participating Society, the Auxiliary will, even at con-
siderable inconvenience, arrange for brief sessions for that purpose.
THE GOVERNMENTS, SOCIETIES AND INSTITUTIONS OF ALL COUNTRIES
INVITED.
The Government of the United States, recognizing the World's Congress
Auxiliary as the proper agency to conduct a series of International Congresses
in connection with the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, has directed the
Diplomatic and the Consular Officers of the United States in all countries to
request "that a convenient number of the most eminent representatives of the
various departments of human progress, be selected as delegates to attend the
respective Congresses, by or under the direction of the Government to which
they are respectively accredited, in addition to those who will come as the
representatives of the leading institutions and societies of different countries;
and to extend the assurance that the largest practicable participation of
foreign peoples and Governments in the whole series of the Congresses is
especially desired; and that such a cooperation on the part of other Govern-
ments will, it is confidently believed, tend in the highest degree to promote,
strengthen and extend those fraternal relations and mutual benefits which
may now justly be regarded as the supreme objects of international inter-
course, and as involving a higher civilization and a broader human progress."
In addition to such Governmental delegates, the World's Congress Aux-
iliary also most cordially invites the appropriate institutions and societies of
other countries to create Committees of Cooperation, to appoint delegates and
otherwise contribute, as far as may be in their power, to the success of the
Congresses to be held at Chicago in 1893. Individuals eminent in any depart-
ment of human progress are also particularly and cordially invited to attend
the Congresses in which they are respectively interested.
However great may be the honor and advantage which any nation will
derive from a participation in the magnificent material exhibit already assured,
it is not too much to say that a higher glory and more lasting benefits may be
secured by sending its eminent men and women to take part in the World's
Congresses of 1893.
WHERE THE CONGRESSES WILL BE HELD.
The World's Congresses of 1893 will be held in the Permanent Memorial
Art Palace, erected on the Lake Front Park, through the cooperation of the
Art Institute of Chicago, the City of Chicago, and the Directory of the
World's Columbian Exposition. This "World's Congress Art'Palace" will
have two large audience rooms arranged to seat about three thousand
persons each; and more than twenty smaller rooms, which will accommodate
from three hundred to seven hundred persons each. Meetings of such a
character as to draw a large popular audience will be held in the main audi-
ence rooms, while meetings of Chapters or Sections of different Congresses
for the discussion of subjects of a more limited interest, will be held in the
smaller rooms. It will thus be possible to have two General Congresses and
twenty Special Congresses or Conferences in session at the same time, and to
have three times as many meetings within a single day by arranging different
programmes for morning, afternoon, and evening sessions; but it is not anti-
cipated that so many daily meetings will be required in any Department of
the World's Congress work; nor that, as a general rule, any Congress or Sec-
tion will desire to meet more than once or twice in a given day.
