"In parsing the myriad narratives involved in an event as temporally compact and organizationally complex as a world's fair, certain themes came to the surface in a meaningful way...themes concerning unity, commercialism, spectable, memory, and exclusion all became apparent. And in comparing how religion was handled at these two fairs in relation to the rest of the fair and even global history, a final question for the future study arose: can religion function as a litmus test for the fair's vision, organization, and planning as a whole? Can examining the religious artifacts of fairs, as well as how those religious elements made their way into a fair, tell us things about the fair as a whole that other subjects might not be able to?"
