Special rules and regulations providing for an international jury and
governing the system of awards, which had been in course of preparation
by the Commission and the Exposition Company for some time, were finally
drafted and sent to the Commission for approval on May 2, 1902. As
approved by the Commission and subsequently promulgated the rules read
as follows:

UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION, ST. LOUIS, 1904, COMMEMORATING THE
ACQUISITION OF LOUISIANA TERRITORY.

1. The total number of jurors in the international jury of
awards shall be approximately 2 per cent of the total number of
exhibitors, but not in excess of that number, and each nation
having 50 exhibitors or more shall be entitled to representation
on the jury. The number of jurors from each art or industry and
for each nationality represented shall, as far as practicable,
be proportional to the number of exhibitors and the importance
of the exhibits.

Of this selected body of international jurors three graded
juries will be constituted: One, the general organization of
group juries; two, department juries; three, a superior jury.

2. Each group jury shall be composed of jurors and alternates.

The number of alternates shall in no case exceed one-fourth of
the number of jurors, and they shall have a deliberative voice
and vote only when occupying the places of absent jurors.

3. The United States jurors and alternates of the group juries
shall be nominated by the chiefs of departments to which the
respective groups belong. The jurors and alternates of the group
juries representing foreign countries and the United States
insular possessions shall be nominated by the commissioners of
such countries.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company shall certify to the
board of lady managers the number of groups in which the
exhibits have been produced in whole or in part by female labor;
to each of the groups so certified the board of lady managers
may appoint one juror and one alternate to that juror; such
appointees, when confirmed, shall have the privileges and be
amenable to the regulations provided for other jurors and
alternates.

All the above nominations shall be made not later than August 1,
1904, except that nominations made to fill vacancies may be made
at any subsequent time.
