"Expositions are timekeepers of progress"
-President William McKinley-
Sept. 5, 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, NY
The following day during a reception at the exposition,
anarchist Leon Czolgosz, shot the president;
McKinley died on Sept. 14, 1901.
"I congratulate Chicago and its guests and wish the exposition unbounded
success--success as a show but more success in helping to bring about
a binding friendship among the nations of the earth."
-Franklin D. Roosevelt-
1933 Chicago World's Fair
Excerpt "message to the fair"
"Just as world's fairs in earlier days popularized the electric light, the telephone,
and other technologies that dramatically reshaped our lives, this Exposition
will help people everywhere to realize the promise of the future."
-Bill Clinton-
1996 Internet World Exposition, March 28, 1995
