	Architecture: The First Chicago School
		The early structures of the First Chicago School, such as the Montauk and the Auditorium, had traditional load-bearing walls of brick and stone, but it was the metal skeleton frame that allowed the architects of the First Chicago School to perfect their signature edifice, the skyscraper.
		The eclipse of the First Chicago School by an architecture based upon the classical as interpreted by the École des Beaux-Arts was signaled by the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893.
		Louis Sullivan and other architects of the school had expected that the fair, under the architectural direction of Daniel H. Burnham and John Wellborn Root, would be a showcase for Chicago's architecture.

	Architecture: The Second Chicago School
		Following the fallow years of World War II, residential architecture in Chicago began to reappear as early as the late 1940s, mostly in the form of apartment towers, while the resumption of commercial building waited until roughly a decade later.
		One of the major pioneers in the development of modernism in Europe, Mies emigrated from his native Germany in 1937 to assume the headship of the School of Architecture at Chicago's Armour Institute of Technology (later Illinois Institute of Technology [IIT]).
		While the Second Chicago School for the most part came to an end in the mid-1970s, several later structures have exhibited the structural straightforwardness associated with it.

	Taking a Pohl on the 'Chicago school' of sci-fi
		The Chicago school of economics, with its dean's list of Nobel laureates, is known throughout the world.
		She was a one-person school herself: erudite and intelligent, her SF themes centered on the alien among us and the individual's role in a vast, indifferent universe.
		Ultimately, Pohl defines a Chicago school of science fiction as he himself is defined in this collection: an ambitous generalist, trying his hand at every motif within SF, sometimes succeeding, but in the end, smaller than the sum of its parts.
