Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fairmount Park Art Association: An Account of Its Origin and Activities From Its Foundation in 1871; Issued on the Occasion of Its Fiftieth Anniversary, 1921
The true measure of a community is the measure of the things for whichit cares and that the record of such greatness of spirit and such nobleness of purpose as it possesses are em bodied in the work it leaves behind: that the memory and influence of such worthiness as it ever develops, if it lives at all, is perpetuated by its art alone. So that no better service can be rendered to the community, in which we happen to live, than the promotion in every possible way of those forms of culture and the cherishing of those ideals, which find expression.
