This online presentation
reproduces the complete text and accompanying images from four University
of Chicago Centennial Exhibition Catalogues, published in conjunction
with a series of physical exhibitions organized by the Department
of Special Collections to celebrate the 1991-92 Centennial of the
University of Chicago. Drawing on documents, photographs, and other
materials from the University of Chicago Archives maintained in the Department of Special Collections, these exhibitions viewed the University's
history through the perspectives of the faculty, the student experience,
relationships between the University and the city of Chicago, and
the contributions of the University's ten chief executives to its
development. The catalogues present an illustrated, interpretive portrait
of the vision of intellectual excellence and commitment to research
on which the University was founded, and the individuals, interactions,
and environment that have consistently guided it along this path throughout
its history.
