Description	This leather-bound book was submitted by Ursuline Academy (now Ursuline College) to the 1893 Columbian Exhibition. This volume includes submissions in English and literature including original themes, essays, and response papers. It is approximately 150 pages and measures 8" x 12.5" (20.32 x 31.75 cm). Selections digitized here include "My Original Sonnet" by Lillian Murney, "Valedictory" by Lizzie Kelly, and "Possibilities of Science" by Josephine "Josie" Lamers. The Chicago Columbian Exhibition celebrated the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the new world. It emphasized modern technological, commercial, and agricultural advances and highlighted art, education, and culture. Between May and October of 1893, more than 28 million visitors flocked to see the 65,000 exhibits located on 686 acres of Chicago's South Side. The Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Building alone had more than forty acres of exhibition space and contained a large section dedicated to education. At the urging of the archbishops, Catholic educators across the nation prepared and organized materials for the Exhibition. The completed exhibit was the largest (29,000 square feet) exhibit in its category and showcased a range of educational institutions supported by the Catholic Church--parish schools, colleges, training and normal schools, orphanages, kindergartens, and special institutions.

Full Text	Original Sonnet "My Alma Mater." And there shrouded in night's great sable cloak, Before me loomed the College bright. A scene Of beauty rare there met my sight, and e'en, While yet I gazed, upon my ear there broke, The sound of voices as by angels spoke, So sweet and joyous were their tones. Serene Was all without, serener all within. For love doth scatter grief and strife like smoke Before the wint'ry blast. Then I beheld Those friends that now to me so dear have grown. No change has come, those scenes are not dispelled, And friendship now for e'er has fixed her throne. Alma Mater! Thy aim is noble, grand, "Science with Faith" O may it ever stand! Lillian Murney Feb.19, 1892. [following pages 2, 3, 4, and 5 typewritten and not transcribed]
