In the following pages all the buildings and noticeable features of the grounds are indexed in the following manner: The letters and figures following the names of buildings in heavy black type (like this) are placed there to ascertain their exact location on the map which appears in this guide. Take for example Administration Building (N i8): 18 N- -N 18 On each side of the map are the letters of the alphabet reading downward; and along the margin, top and bottom, are figures reading and increasing from i, on the left, to 27, on the right; N 18, therefore, implies that the Administration Building will be found at that point on the map where lines, if drawn from N to N east and west and from 18 to 18 north and south, would cross each other at right angles. With this extremely simple arrangement at his command, the visittiwill experience but little difficulty in speedily and surely locating any sought-for building or spot within the Exposition grounds. For those seeking a similar useful arrangement in regard to the city, streets, and parks of Chicago itself, reference may be made to " The City Railway Directory and Street Number Guide " issued by the publishers of this book. Copyright, 1893, by Rand, McNally & Co. 1 !':i I'l — Prefa ce HE aim of this guide is to afford to its readers the fullest, clearest, most concise, and, above all, the most re/zai/emioTmaiion upon every subject embraced -within its scope. Its space is too limited to admit of verbose descriptions or discursive famblings (even were such desirable), and mere dull, ^ry cataloguing of details has been equally avoided. With those who will require its aid, the most important ques- tions are: ist. How can I best reach the Expositionf 2d. What are the objects of interest there ? 3d. How can I most easily and understandingly see and enjoy the sights? ' , These questions are, we hope, fully and satisfactorily answered by this guide, in the following manner: Assuming that the visitor has but a week at his disposal, and in that time desires to do the greatest amount of sight-seeing possible, with the least trouble and expense, the "Week at the Fair "has been compiled with the view of enabling him, without further information To reach the Fair grounds frojn any part of the city. To find his way about the grounds and locate any building, or other object of interest, without trouble. , To understandfully each and every exhibit and its location. To post thoroughly to the himself as architecture , size, cost, and decorations of all buildings; the name and description of each statue, fountain, obelisk, etc., with the names of the architects, artists, and sculptors who designed them. To enable him at the close of each day to select the nearest and best route to his home in the city. More than a year's experience in and careful study of the grounds, buildings, and ' exhibits by a competent corps of compilers (residents of the city of Chicago) insure the , accuracy and guarantee the completeness of the information herein contained. The cuts with which this work is profusely illustrated were in nearly every case obtained' from photographs or drawings made upon the spot, and are accurate and artistic. Authen- tic ground-plans of the floors of buildings, showing the locations and classifications of exhibits, are inserted, and will be found of great value and service in tracing particular- displays. Added to all this is a thoroughly accurate indexed map. It may be well to mention that in everything felating to the city of Chicago itself " The Handy Guide to Chicago "and " Bird's-eye Views and Guide to Chicago," issued by the publishers of this work, give the most complete and accurate information. In almost every instance the architects of the chief buildings and the artists and sculp- tors themselves have described their work, and in such clear, forcible style that even the technical terms of their different arts are made plain to all. In this way alone was it pos- sible to secure thoroughly accurate descriptions of their masterpieces. Realizing that whatever success this guide may attain will be largely due to this expert aid, the thanks of the publishers are hereby tendered to the eminent contributors whose names appear either upon the title page or included in the following list: \: Mesdames Julia M. Bracken and J. Loughborough Douglass. Messrs. Lorado Taft, Karl Bitter, M. A. Waagen, Edward Kemeys, C. B. Atwood, A. P. Proctor, J. A. Blanken- ship, Seymour Davis, J. W. McLaughlin, J. S.

Aune August 2012 Major Subject: Communication iii ABSTRACT Crossdressing Cinema: An Analysis of Transgender Representation in Film. (August 2012) Jeremy Russell Miller, B.A., University of Arkansas; M.A., University of Arkansas Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Joshua Heuman Dr. Aisha Durham Transgender representations generally distance the transgender characters from the audience as objects of ridicule, fear, and sympathy. This distancing is accomplished through the use of specific narrative conventions and visual codes. In this dissertation, I analyze representations of transgender individuals in popular film comedies, thrillers, and independent dramas. Through a textual analysis of 24 films, I argue that the narrative conventions and visual codes of the films work to prevent identification or connection between the transgender characters and the audience. The purpose of this distancing is to privilege the heteronormative identities of the characters over their transgender identities. This dissertation is grounded in a cultural studies approach to representation as constitutive and constraining and a positional approach to gender that views gender identity as a position taken in a specific social context.

    Legislative Library of British Columbia Background Paper 2007: 02 / May 2007 British Columbia 1858 Nearly 150 years ago, the land that would become the province of British Columbia was transformed.

Some of the future province’s most famous and notorious early citizens arrived during that year.

  • Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago's Parks
    Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago’s Parks by Julia S. Bachrach, Chicago Park District Historian In 1909, Daniel H. Burnham (1846 – 1912) and Edward Bennett published the Plan of Chicago, a seminal work that had a major impact, not only on the city of Chicago’s future development, but also to the burgeoning field of urban planning. Today, govern- ment agencies, institutions, universities, non-profit organizations and private firms throughout the region are coming together 100 years later under the auspices of the Burnham Plan Centennial to educate and inspire people throughout the region. Chicago will look to build upon the successes of the Plan and act boldly to shape the future of Chicago and the surrounding areas. Begin- ning in the late 1870s, Burnham began making important contri- butions to Chicago’s parks, and much of his park work served as the genesis of the Plan of Chicago. The following essay provides Daniel Hudson Burnham from a painting a detailed overview of this fascinating topic. by Zorn , 1899, (CM). Early Years Born in Henderson, New York in 1846, Daniel Hudson Burnham moved to Chi- cago with his parents and six siblings in the 1850s. His father, Edwin Burnham, found success in the wholesale drug busi- ness and was appointed presidet of the Chicago Mercantile Association in 1865. After Burnham attended public schools in Chicago, his parents sent him to a college preparatory school in New England. He failed to be accepted by either Harvard or Yale universities, however; and returned Plan for Lake Shore from Chicago Ave. on the north to Jackson Park on the South , 1909, (POC).
