TIME FUTURE 



from TIME PAST 



Launching Our 



$40,000,000 Capital Campaign 



"Chicago has what will be the greatest of all museums, an 

 institution magnificently endowed by the liberality of its own 

 citizens, a permanent memorial of the glories of the summer of 

 '93."— The Chicago Times, June 3, 1894 



With those words, Chicago and the world were introduced 

 to an institution that would become one of the world's pre- 

 eminent museums. 



Today, some 90 years after its founding, Field Museum is a 

 vital research and teaching institution, as complex as any uni- 



versity. Is is a database for the world and a classroom for students 

 of all ages. It is a record of living things, a notebook charting 

 man's social development. It is a foundation for the future. 



As it nears its centennial in 1993, Field Museum has the 

 opportunity to reaffirm its position among the premier museums 

 in the world through an ambitious ten-year plan known as 

 Centennial Directions. To realize the plan's goals, the Museum 

 has launched the second capital campaign in its history, Time 

 Future From Time Past. 



The Campaign seeks a minimum of $40 million to: 



V Support endowment for research and collections 



»/ Renew permanent exhibits and initiate new public programs 

 }/ Restore the landmark building and 



V Maintain annual support during the campaign 



The Museum looks to its many members, friends and the 

 corporate and foundation community to help realize its goals. 

 Earlier this year, on May 15, the Field Museum publicly an- 

 nounced its campaign goals during a reception and luncheon 

 held in Stanley Field Hall. At that time $23. 7 million had been 

 raised. The total now stands at $27.5 million. 



Shown here are scenes from the May 15 event at which the 

 campaign was announced.
