This is a guide map for the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 (AKA the World’s Columbian Exposition). I decided to search across the CARLI digital collections and see what I could find on it. A sampling follows.

This image reminds me of a poem by T.E. Hulme:
"Above the Dock"
Above the quiet dock in midnight,
Tangled in the tall mast’s corded height,
Hangs the moon. What had seemed so far away
Is but a child’s balloon, forgotten after play.

Wabash Valley College currently fields five varsity athletics squads, one of which, the men's basketball team, won a NJCAA national championship in 2001 and featured two future NBA players. Fifty years ago, however, the school's athletics programs were more humble. In the 1963 edition of The Oubache, Wabash Valley College yearbook, the men's basketball team is followed a page later by what appears to be the only other organized athletic endeavor at the school, bowling. Pictures of bowlers appear repeatedly in the yearbook, and it seems to have been a popular activity at the school.

Recently, my 10 year old nephew showed me his book report in the form of a board game, which made me think about how dry adult education tends to feel in comparison to some of the fun ways children learn. However, recent research indicates that creative play encourages learning, even for adults. We tend to view children as not-quite-formed adults who need coddling. Flipping this belief, Kets de Vries (2012) argues that “better and more respective teaching would follow if … [instructors] thought of adults as atrophied children” (p. 18).

I'll get to the featured image eventually. But first: I never thought about it before, but someone has to choose a college's school colors! The inaugural issue of the Kishwaukee College yearbook documents this process. The colors green and gold selected that first year still represent the Kougars today. Student Rita Love designed the winning college crest.
