Student paper excerpt:
When Central Park was founded some advocates viewed the park as the
future rendezvous of the polite world and they wanted to restrict admission to the zoological garden to subscribers on Sundays (Google Books, 2009).
Original Quote:
“Just as some advocates viewed Central Park as the future rendezvous of the polite world, so some enthusiasts imagined a zoological garden as a place for their socializing… The private society’s projected zoo would be open to the public but closed to the general public on Sundays. (London’s Zoological Garden admitted only subscribers on Sundays, ‘the fashionable day’ to visit.) The Herald warned that ‘such class regulations’ ‘in favor of the wealthy few’ would not be tolerated in republican America.”
