thread_title:  "1933 Chicago World´s Fair" listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|Redirects for discussion]] 

message: This article’s introduction quotes the Fair’s theme as “Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Adapts.” But every source I’ve checked — including the one cited in this very sentence of the Wikipedia article — quotes the theme with the last phrase as “Man Conforms.”
Seems like a pretty radical change to the tone of the Fair’s theme. Is there a source showing Wikipedia’s version of it or is this a simple error? 2603:90D8:501:6EC8:0:0:0:10F1 (talk) 07:23, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
