Irving K. Pond's memoir was written between 1937 and 1939. Pond finished
it on May 9th of that year, and died at the end of September. He wrote
the entire manuscript in pencil, from brief notes that he also left
behind. All of this work on the manuscript, along with all of his
voluminous writings on all kinds of subjects, his collection of photographs,
etc, was given to the American Academy of Arts and Letters at the
time of his death. His enormous body of work has never been fully
documented in a single book until now.

This monograph was originally published by the Studebaker Corporation
in 1911 as an advertisement for the building. Originally designed
and printed by Ralph Fletcher Seymour, the book was a celebration
of the Studebaker's successful commitment to art and culture in Chicago,
for the book showed the building in its prime during the years when
it dominated the world of art, literature, theater, and musical education
in Chicago. In the years before the First World War, it was home,
and played host to, more people associated with changing Chicago's
cultural life than any other building in the city.
