Description	This program outlines the ceremonies for the dedication of the Tyler Davidson Fountain in Cincinnati, Ohio on October 6, 1871. The program is one folded sheet and measures 5.75" x 8.25" (14.61 x 20.96 cm). On the front of the program are instructions concerning seating for the dedication and the order of exercises, including names of speakers. Inside the program is the text for the "Dedication Ode" composed by L. J. Cist for the fountain dedication and sung by local high school students at the event. The Tyler Davidson fountain in Cincinnati, Ohio was designed by August von Kreling (1819-1876) of Germany. Local hardware merchant Henry Probasco donated the 43-foot fountain to the city of Cincinnati in memory of his brother-in-law and business partner, Tyler Davidson. It is located in Fountain Plaza, which was built in the late 1960s with the Tyler Davidson Fountain as its focus. The "Genius of the Waters" sits atop the fountain, which once included drinking cups for passers-by. The fountain is on the National Register of Historic Places.
