id waste; the labor of years, the result of
thought, perseverance, patience, energy, and untiring application on the
part of hundreds of its promoters and workers, already seems as
intangible as a dream. But the things for which those buildings stood,
the intellectual, moral, and material prosperity which they expressed
are real, lasting, and glorious. These are permanently recorded in
history. And forming an important part of these records is the work of
woman.

The board of lady managers of this vast world's fair earnestly hopes
that at every future exposition woman may be accorded that dignified
position that she has so splendidly earned by her own endeavors, and
that each time a resume of her work achieved is recorded new fields of
usefulness may be found added thereto. No fear need be entertained that
she will not always demonstrate that she does contribute her full share
toward the progress and prosperity of nations and the uplifting of
humanity.
