Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from The University of Chicago Magazine<br/><br/>It is proverbially easy to praise Athenians at Athens, or Parisians in Paris  and would be to praise Chicagoans in Chicago if it were not for something which sophisticated Chicagoans have more to fear than Chicago brag-namely Chicago blague. Herbert Spencer would have called it the anti-patriotic bias. Mr. George Ade's name for it is knocking. You still cherish a traitorous doubt whether the Mississippi Valley can grow any other ?ower of civilization than Pillsbury's best, or the metropolis of pork produce any other by products than the bristle of self-assertion or the squeal of self consciousness. You still wonder if we are not, as a visiting British brother innocently told the American Philological Association, too far away. You have learned to respond when Emerson says: Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay you think paltry places and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are and, if we will tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. But you would merely smile if one who is not an Emerson should attempt to enforce a like moral here and today. N ow it may be a defect of the historic sense, or some bluntness of aesthetic perceptions, but I am shamelessly and impenitently incapa ble of recognizing that Ryerson, Hutchinson, Haskell, Hull, Man del, Snell, Cobb, Walker, Kent, Beecher, Foster, Green, Reynolds, Blaine, Mitchell, and Hitchcock are less potent and pleasing names to conjure with than  Wigglesworth. I cannot even concur in the familiar commonplaces about our ugliness. All anglo-american cities are hideous in their congested and utilitarian districts  and if we never go in quest of beauty we Shall not find it. It would be easy to cite Wordsworth, Ruskin, and Thoreau to the effect that the true lovers of natural beauty are not those who demand the Alps or nothing.
