Rotary hears plans for Houston World’s Fair
Dr W W Kemmerer, former University of Houston head and Houston school trustee, outlined a proposed Houston World’s Fair at a Baytown Rotary luncheon. He urged a large citizens’ committee to study plans, gain regional support, and seize the opportunity before Cleveland and Chicago host rival expositions. He warned midwestern focus on fairs could hurt Houston’s port and argued a fair would boost the region and create lasting installations.
