CONCLUSION. 



As I stood one beautiful clear evening in Indian sunmier upon the 

 tower of the lofty Masonic Temple of Chicago, fanned })y soft ])reezes, 

 my glance swept far to the eastward over the unlimited expanse of 

 smiling Lake Michigan, overarched by the blue heavens; on the west, 

 however, the dark red sun laboriously struggled through the unsightly 

 vapor that poui-ed from the smoking, steaming Babel, from the mil- 

 lion-mouthed monster of a city, a hell — yet looking out upon a 

 seductive paradise! 



"Chicago is the young giant among the cities of the earth, and is 

 only at the threshold of its destiny," says a recent English observer. 

 " We hope that during the coming years there will l)e removed from 

 the way many of the stumbling blocks that we all very well know 

 still exist to-da}^ in this new and luiequally developed city; but 

 Chicago sixty years ago was only a prairie, with a few thousand men 

 on it," so wrote to me recently one of my friends from there. 



In the description of the institutions which has filled the previous 

 pages I could do justice to only a portion of the intellectual life of 

 this city, perhaps the most interesting one of the whole earth, espe- 

 cially because of its great contrasts; for to me the view from the lofty 

 building appeared symbolical," and most interesting for a further rea- 

 son — because so much is still to be expected from its development more 

 than from any other city^ — that it promises to become one of thfe future

 Gown (a yearly publication).
