629: CLARK BLAISE: The Creation of Standard Time
Our records show that this program is technically sold out. Due to our attrition rate and inexpensive tickets, it is possible we may have some tickets available the day of the program. However, we cannot guarantee this. If it is a program that you would really like to attend, please arrive at the venue 20-30 minutes before the program is scheduled to begin and check at the ticket desk for availability.
In the late 1800s, localized definitions of clock time played havoc with the idea of accurate railroad scheduling. One Canadian entrepreneur, Sandford Fleming, did something about it. Blaise, a respected short story writer, novelist, and teacher, tells the story in his book Time Lord: Sir Sandford Fleming and the Creation of Standard Time.
Presented in partnership with the Canadian Consulate General Chicago.
