stated, the details of the plans tor the several Congresses will be arranged
with the advice and assistance of the proper Advisory Councilors and Honor-
ary Members of the Auxiliary.
5. Of the six months of the Exposition Season, May and June are the
most desirable tor large meetings, but the common custom of mid summer
vacations, renders those months the most difficult to occupy with the proposed
Congresses. It is theretore earnestly requested that such organirations as can
arrange to attend in either of these months, will communicate the tact at
their earliest convenience. It it were practicable to accelerate the Educa-
tional, the Parliamentary, the Judicial and other summer vacations, very great
advantages might be secured. The whole series of Worlds Congresses may
be regarded as constitutins a Worlds Summer Univesity.
6. While the General Popular Congresses of each Department will neces
sarily be under the direction of the Officers of the Worlds Congress Auxiliary,
the Special Congresses of Existins Organirations will be in the charge of
their oun officers, subject only to such general regulations as are necessary tor
the harmony and success of all the Congresses, to be held in a closely con-
nected series trom May 10 October, 1893. The largest practicable number of
distinquished persons will be invited to preside at different sessions of the
several Congresses, and will otherwise be shoun the honor which is their due.
7. Ditterins Religious Denominations, Retorm Societies, Schoots of
Medicine and other Organirations, will work in harmony to secure results in
which all are alike interested, and to obtain which the Auxiliary will endeavor
to exercise the highest impartiality and justice. It will aim to secure a
presentation of the best aspects of sincere and commendable efforts to attain
results beneficiat to mankind, leavins the comparative merits of competins
movements and institutions to the deliberate judgment of the enlightened
wor1d.

The following is the general assignment of the Columbian Worlds Con-
gresses, by Departments, to January, 1892. It is expected that all the assign-
ments will be definitely and permanently fixed by July of this year. In the
General Divisions of these Departments, more than a hundred Congresses are
to be held. In a few cases applications have been made to hold a Division
Congress out of its proper order, tor very important special reasons, but of
course no Congress can have as complete accommodations out of its proper
Department as would be afforded in it.
