"A man cannot with propriety speak of himself,
except he relates simple facts ; as, 'I was at Rich-
mond' ; or, what depends on mensuration; as, "/
am, six feet high': but he cannot be sure he is toise,
or that he has any other excellence."

—Dr. Johnson.

FOREWORD

" Who's Who in the Lyceum " is a set of tools, made and truly
^ tempered, for work never yet wrought adequately. Whatever

may be said or thought of " The Man With a Hoe," it is certain
he is in better case than " The Man AVithout a Hoe." The crop that is yet
to be harvested from the broad acres of the Lyceum field, will depend very
largely upon the way these tools — here handed to the man — are handled by
the man.

The word Lyceum notably exemplifies and illustrates the fact
that language grows. To-day the word includes what yesterday
was absent; to-morrow it will include what to-day knows not.
As to inclusions and exclusions for to-day, clearly the word Lyceum
excludes the theater and includes the drama; it excludes whatever is specifi-
cally and only theatric, and it includes whatever is specifically and wholly
dramatic. It excludes whatever appeals solely to the eye or to the other
senses — as senses; for example, all the gorgeous paraphernalia of usual per-
ception ordinarily assumed at the Play to represent Life as it is, but whose
very gorgeousness blinds the eye to see beneath the object to the subject,
the word Lyceum excludes all such things of the senses; it includes whatever
action, word or appearance reaches the soul through valid psychical appeals
to the creative imagination. Life is dramatic, not theatric; of the essence
and not of the form of things. Life is drama. Hence the drama finds its
first, noblest and most complete expression, not at the Theater, but upon the
Lyceum Platform. Here are won already, and here are yet to be doubly
won, the greatest triumphs of the unfettered imagination.

" Who's Who in the Lyceum " lays emphasis upon the declaration that
whatever belongs indisputably to spiritual aesthetics — the realm of Life's most
intimate and most significant drama — belongs to the Lyceum; whatever does
not, belongs elsewhere.

Clearly, too, and for the same reason, the word Lyceum excludes the
vaudeville, the circus, the amusement in which the performer is but a per-
former, whatever or whoever is " the whole show " ; and, in truth, it excludes
every sort of entertainment whose roots and branches and fruit are evidently
of the earth earthy.

6 WHO'8 WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

" I am merely a society entertainer, having no particular connection with
A Letter. the so-called Lyceum movement; therefore your volume will be complete

without my biographical data."

Excellent. This gentleman is commendable for his perspicacity and for
the frankness of his avowal as well as for the exactness of his identification
of the Lyceum, and of — himself.

In the present work the word Lyceum includes particularly all Univer-
sity Extension Lectureships, with all scientific, aesthetic, literary, educational
and similar Lectureships, with interpretative Lecture-Recitals, together with
Symphonic or even Solo Concerts, Readings, Dramatic Monologues,
Dramatic Recitals of entire Dramas, and similar entertainments aiming at
ends strictly aesthetic, artistic and moral.

As to eligibility to a place in " Who's Who in the Lyceum,"

^.,. ., .,., in instances where there is any doubt — as to this man or as

Eligibility. , ,..,.,.., .11 1 . 1

to that woman — eligibility is determined, though not exclu-
sively, by satisfactory answers to three principal questions :

(a) Is the candidate pursuing Lyceum work as an artistic vocation, or
merely as a negligible avocation?

(b) On the average, how many engagements does he fill annually?

(c) What is the nature, and, to some indicative extent, what is the ideal
of his work?

At times this last standard brings us perilously near to the necessities
of exercising judicial functions, notwithstanding " Who's Who " is a
" record, not an estimate," a census of individuals rather than an appreciation
of persons. Still, no injustice is done to an}'^, since all are brought alike to the

same standards.

* * *

The task of determining these standards, both as to their
J^^^ ^^^^ A A number and as to their significance, has been exceedingly

difiicult, while the rigid application of them has been occa-
sionally well-nigh impracticable.

Probably some persons are included in the published list whom some
would not admit. But where liberality has seemed a virtue of necessity, the
interpretation of these standards has been liberal, particularly in instances
where, evidently, genius is at once young, vigorous and crescent.

Let the brilliant luminaries of the Lyceum heavens never forget that all
the light of the nightly firmament radiates not from the fixed stars alone.

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 7

" Who's Who in the Lyceum " is neither a Dun nor a

caymg talent or bureaus. It is not a Jb ads and -b ancies,

nor yet a " Dictionary of Biography." Manifestly there is herein no place
for the exploitation of expert verdicts, or of popular verdicts, good, bad or
indifferent. No lecturer is alike good, bad or indifferent in all places and at
all times. Some of the times and many of the places are themselves also
g. b. and i. ; sometimes I.

Some workers have their work in their hearts, and some have their
hearts in their work, and some show the marks of both estates co-ordinate.
But, as to who these are, this work was made to make no sign. This work
doesn't know. It might be desirable — certainly it must be desirable — for a
committee to know, in advance of the Bureau's paternal suggestions, whether
So-and-So, "elocutionist," is first of all a genuine woman, with a real, a
warm, a living soul within her, and next is also capable — capable of work-
ing the miracles of interpretation, yea, of artistic and of aesthetic creation, or
whether, in the last analysis she is to be gibbeted as only a frivolous mixture
of millinery and Delsarte. And whether So-and-So, lecturer, is artist or only
artisan; whether with him lecturing is an aesthetic art, or merely a piece of
stark commercial handcraft; whether, for intellectual stimulus, for artistic
inspiration, for ethical suggestiveness, and for general healthful impressive-
ness, said So-and-So is clearly ratable at the ^ power, or only at the °- S- power.
But on these points, and on all similar points, this work knows naught.

Any adverse criticisms of this work's incompleteness, of its color-
Caveat, lessness, of its character as mere chronicle, of the brevity and con-
densed quality of its sketches, are vanquished easily by a fair pre-
sentation of its aim, its scope and its utilities. Indeed, all such criticisms are
routed with a single sentence : " This work is a Who's Who, not a What's

Who!"

what others like himself are doing. It is a real comfort to any one to know

that on the shores of any great enterprise he is not — alone.

To Bureau Managers it furnishes reliable data — data of an intimate
quality; data such as would cost the individual Bureaus time, toil and money
beyond their thought. ISTow, and for the first time, they may learn what
other Bureaus are doing, or are trying to do.

To Committees it is indeed a boon. It widens their scope of observa-

It is true that the information published — regarding some stars — is a
trifle nebulous, but that fact is itself revelatory to the eye of the astute
Committee.

It is also true this information is never intimate; in the scope of this
work it could not be intimate ; yet is it sufficient to indicate to any Committee
the direction in which such information may be sought wisely.

To Editors, Librarians, Educators, Statesmen, Officials of the Public
Service, and to others, this work affords utilities of immediate value. More-
over, it will even create utilities not yet discerned, precisely as demand
creates supply and supply creates demand.

The business side of " Who's Who in the Lyceum " — as a

venture in publication — merits a brief paragraph. Without

other solicitation than that couched in the bare terms of

announcement, the de luxe edition has b&en over-subscribed, and the general

edition about fully subscribed, in advance of publication.

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

This result is gratifying to publishers and to the Editor, not more on
business grounds than on the consideration that a discerning Lyceum Public
Opinion has thus already passed favorable judgment upon the enterprise.

In the compilation of this work the inevitable tedium of routine
Curios. correspondence has been relieved at times by letters bearing sug-
gestive comments, or containing caustic criticisms, or else revealing
the essential humor of situations the writers never saw.

One gentleman, a distinguished prelate of a great church — his sketch
is found herein — declares his opinion on a certain matter thus : " The Lec-
ture platform ought to stand for a message and not for a sing-song repetition
of the only effort of which a man has been capable."

Talent will do themselves justice, if not more, by writing this gentleman,
quoting " let the galled jade wince," and adding ( ?) — the rest of the
sentence.

Another writer says, with charming naivete : " My work has made me,
and not any Bureau."

Through the mists of ambiguity that cloud this sentence one can dimly
discern the intention of the writer. Doubtless such as he are famous, not
because they are on the platform, nor yet because the platform is on them,
but the platform is famous because they are on it, or, in spite of it.

But the Kohinoor in this cabinet of Curios remains to outshine these
other gems. To what a distance the malefic influence of " Fads and
Fancies " has already traveled may be read between two lines of another
letter. True, this letter was written by one, it must be confessed, the absence
of whose name does not utterly ruin the work. And yet, such is the spirit of
the man that this letter is one whose very paper — between said two lines —
crimps and crumples itself rattlingly, phenomenally, and as if instinctively,
with the writer's righteous indignation at once judicial and suspicious:
" I will never allow my name to be used for purposes of advertisement."

Doubtless he scents a bribe ! But the spotlessness of this man's virtuous
purpose, not to say the unspotability of this man's virtuous purpose, affords
a white background against which the sunlight of any publicity shows black.
Let all Talent beware.

10 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

An inspection of the data furnished herein, whether it be casual

Queries, or not, will suggest certain important queries. "Why are so many

people booking their own dates without the aid of any Bureau ? Is

it because Bureaus and Talent do not understand, or is it because they do

understand each other?

Again, What is the average duration of popularity in lectures as com-
pared with entertainments ? What is the Bureau's answer ? And what the
Committee's answer?

Again, Why are there so few good preachers who are also equally good
lecturers? Is it because preachers do not know the essential difference
between the functions of a sermon and those of a lecture ? Is it because they
think a lecture is necessarily less important and less valuable than a sermon ?
Is it because traditional homiletics has atrophied their sense of humor ?

Again, What are the generic characteristics of the lecture themes
treated upon the lecture platform of to-day ? And what principles may we
safely use in identifying the sweep of Lyceum lecture currents to-day ?

Again, Why do so many United States Congressmen, so many States-
men, Historians, Travelers, Scientists, Political Economists, Philosophers,
Clergymen, all of the very first class, ascend the Lyceum platform? And
why are there not many more of these same classes ascending the Lyceum

platform ?

the industrial, the political, the materialistic chaos of the
times, these men are present as brooding spirits, gifted out of infinity and
hence out of eternity; gifted with architectonic capabilities and skill.

These men are gifted with the reformative potencies of philanthropy,
noble, altruistic, self-effacing, self -sacrificial. But far beyond this these men
are gifted with that vaster dynamic^ — the preformative genius of creative-
ness; they do things, and they do new things; they are workers, and they
work all sorts of righteousness; they are genuine poets, weaving and working
life's words into psalms and paeans, fitting every tongue; they are creators —

creators of a new cosmos, ideal, yet coming down out of the heavens of truth,
first into the vision, next into the ambition, and then into the enthralled
affection of mankind.

These men are creators, listening to whom all auditors feel supremely
that the fires of artistic passion, the nice discernments of aesthetic wisdom,
and the mighty sanctions of ethics exist in these creators plenarily, forma-
tively and co-ordinately. These men are creators; they actually create new
intellectual, aesthetic and even ethical situations in the imagination of their
auditors; they take little words, and big, and into these they breathe the
breath of all kinds of life, and thus are able to restate Life in newly-created
forms and in newly-ordered scopes; and then these same creators, these who
thus have re-stated Life, are able, with equal ease, to interpret this their own
divine exegesis of Life, in forms of truth, in lives of beauty, and in the saving
terms of righteousness. To these creators, these great personalities, the
Lyceum calls to-day. To all others the Lyceum is dumb, yea, and makes no
sign.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LYCEUM.

BY ANNA L. CURTIS.

GENERAL SURVEY.

The Ljceum field has no mean acreage. Its plateaus and its vales
etretch far beyond the vision. Yet, in any general survey thereof, and from
any point of view, certain mountain peaks arrest the eye and dominate the
horizon.

Trustworthy data, recently gathered, show that the number of estab-
lished Lyceum lecture courses in the United States — courses in which one
ticket is sold for the entire season, courses which now are regularly held from
year to year — cannot be far from six thousand. This statement relates to
courses of Lyceum lectureships alone, and takes no cognizance of the num-
berless single lectures, concerts, artistic and aesthetic entertainments, provided
by local enterprise or by Lyceum bureaus.

LOWELL INSTITUTE, BOSTON.

In scrutinizing the details of this general survey, the free public lecture-
ships, provided on permanent foundations, — like the Lowell Institute Courses
in Boston, or the Peabody Institute Courses in Baltimore, — must be particu-
larly noted. These lectureships are rapidly increasing in number in every
part of the land, and are constantly increasing in their efficient ministry to
our national intellectual vigor. Moreover, by their strictly formal character
and by their profound philosophic and inspirational quality, they attract as
their clientele the very elite of local culture.

THE BOAKDS OF EDUCATION.

Lectureships maintained under legislative authority, and at public
expense, by Boai'ds of Education — as in New York City and State — for the
propagation of useful information in the practical arts of domestic life, for the
instruction of the public in the proper arts of sanitation, and of medical and
surgical assistance in emergencies, and for the publication, exploitation and
illustration of current scientific discoveries and inventions — these must be
noted also.

16 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

UNIVERSITY SUMMER SESSIONS AND EXTENSION COURSES,

The summer sessions held each year under the auspices of our foremost
Universities, and as a constituent section of their curriculum, Universities
whose principal professors are retained as lecturers, and in which sessions all
sorts of technical, sociologic, pedagogic, scientific and philosophic themes
are presented luminously to thousands of secular school teachers, scholars,
investigators and literati, must be noted also.

The University Extension Lecture Courses, covering almost every con-
ceivable subject of human interest, whether to scholars or to students, and
constantly increasing in number, in efficiency and in prophetic significance, —
these must be noted also.

And next, there is the rapidly-multiplying host of Y. M. C. A. public
lectureships, and of institutional church lectureships, covering technical
instruction and inspiration in the trades, in the arts and in the industrial crafts.
These, appealing principally to men, and in the out-of-busiaess hours, and
though admittedly but a by-aim of the ethical and religious propaganda of
institutional Christianity, nevertheless afford first-class lectureships in the
creative arts and in the commercial and the industrial utilities.

LECTURESHIPS PRO^nDED BY CIVIC ENTERPRISE.

Next we note the multitudinous evening lectureships which, though
appealing forcibly only to special classes of students, are yet also open to the
general public, lectureships provided through civic enterprise and forecast,
by manual training schools, institutes of technology and city high schools,
euch as the Mechanic Arts High School of Boston.

We note, also, the lectureships — restrictedly secular in the character
of their instruction, and largely technical both in form and in spirit — con-
ducted by the trade and guild schools and by schools of technique principally
for their own cKents, yet open to the public without charge. Such lecture-
ships bring the enthusiasms as well as the incitements of education to thou-
sands of citizens already mentally virile and alert.

THE SUMMER ASSEMBLIES.

The summer Assemblies — increasing at a most remarkable rate — ^with
their free public platform, the freest in America, the most untrammeled, free
for the announcement of the latest discoveries of fact in science, or in litera-
ture, or in art, free for the heralding of the grandest ideals in human thought,

WHO'i^ WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 17

these Assemblies, with their schools and guilds and solidarities and incessant
lectureships, these must be noted also.

The winter Assemblies, held for a single week in our largest churches,
offering lectures of the highest order, three times each day, drawing talent
from our greatest universities, seminaries and pulpits — these must be noted
also.

women's clubs.

Literature and art lectureships conducted by women's clubs, by artists'
clubs, and by schools of aesthetic culture, and furnishing both to their own
intelligent and ambitious clientele and to the general public as well, the rudi-
ments and the inspirations of artistic education, if not artistic life itself, — these
also stand out clearly and nobly before the eye.

Between one and two thousand persons gain a livelihood upon the plat-
form, while the number of those who devote only a part of their time to the
platform cannot be fewer than three or four thousand. It seems hardly possi-
ble that this great business of to-day is but the outgrowth of a dream of yester-
day. But so it is. Along in the first quarter of the century just closed, educa-
tion, always a fad of the Americans, suddenly became a hobby. All sorts of
societies were organized over night, societies for the diffusion of useful knowl-
edge, mercantile associations, teachers' seminaries, literary institutes, book
clubs, societies of education — every sort of society whose name sounded
learned and educational. Some of them lasted only until the members could
invent for them a baptismal name, and then quietly died. Few of them out-
lived the first ten years. Among this multitude was one insignificant little
institution, established in November, 1826, as is recorded in the " American
Journal of Education," by some forty or fifty farmers and mechanics of the
little town of Millbury, Mass. There was nothing surprising in their form-
ing an association. Organization was in the very air. Any town that wanted
to be at all up to date had to organize something educational — two or three
of them, if the town were large enough. So these Millbury farmers and
mechanics formed themselves into " The Millbury Branch, JSTo. 1, of the
American Lyceum." " The American Lyceum," now an established fact
and a household word in many a town, then only a dream — the dream of
Josiali Holbrook, of Derby, Conn.

This historic character merits at least a paragraph. Josiah Holbrook
was what an irreverent generation might call " a stone agent." A firm believer

18 WHO'8 WnO IN THE LYCEUM.

in tlie efficacy of natural science studies as a panacea for the cure of all sorts
of educ-ational ills, already, in 1826, he had spent several years traveling
about Massachusetts and Connecticut, lecturing on geology and mineralogy,
and urging every town to form its own. little cabinets of specimens, and to
study far more, not only these, but all the natural sciences. Wandering min-
strels and traveling preachers there had been before, but never, we think, a
peripatetic lecturer on the natural sciences. He was the first of this race ; if
not the first, at least the most genetic. Moreover, to him more than to any-
one else do we owe the introduction of the natural sciences into our public
school curriculums, as subjects for regular study. But his greatest title to
remembrance is that he dreamed of an " American Lyceum," worked with all
his strength to make that dream reality, and in truth laid the foundation for
the great Lyceum system of to-day.

JOSIAH HOLBROOk's PLAN.

Now, what was this American Lyceum to be, as seen in Josiah Hol-
brook's dream? A means of popular education, of self -culture and of commun-
ity instruction such as should make the wilderness of uncultivated mind blos-
som as the rose. Mr. Holbrook's plans, as outlined in Barnard's " Journal
of Education," early in 1826, required that every town should have its own
Lyceum, with library, collections of specimens in natural history, cabinets of
mineralogical treasures, courses of lectures given by the members, the mem-
bers themselves grouped in sections for the study of science, history and
art. Delegates from the Town Lyceums were to form the County Lyceums,
and from these, in turn, would be made up the State Lyceums, while the
ISTational American Lyceum was to be composed of delegates from all the
State societies. Here is a scheme sufficiently large and far reaching, it would
seem, to fill the ambition of the man who devised it, and whose life was
devoted to its historic unfolding. Yet it was not. If Josiah Holbrook had
lived to-day, probably he might have been tempted to organize an educational
trust, or to corner the market in professors. As it was, he planned a World
Lyceum, of which Chancellor Brougham, of England, should be president,
and which should have fifty-two vice-presidents, men distinguished in science
and in philanthropy, men chosen from every country in the world. And this,
almost before the Millbury Lyceum, " Branch JSTo. 1," was fully organized.

However, we must not give Josiah Holbrook credit for an imagination
too vivid and strenuous. The word " Lyceum " he bori'owed from the spot

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 19

where Aristotle used to lecture to the vouth of Greece, while various details
of his system were probably adapted from other sources. For instance, Frank-
lin's Junto may have given him the idea of mutual instruction, and the Paris
Lyceum, where Monsieur de la Harpe lectured daily from 1786 to 1794, is
a possible source of his plan for instruction by series of lectures. The Paris
Conservatory of Arts and Trades, founded in 1796, and the Mechanics' Insti-
tutes of England, which increased in number from one in 1823 to seven
hundred in 1860, probably added somewhat to the form of Holbrook's grand
scheme. But the system was his own. These other efforts at popular adult
education were all comparatively small and insignificant; his was perhaps the
most comprehensive system ever originated, without exception,

" The Millbury Branch, 'No. 1, of the American Lyceum " was the first
fruit of Holbrook's toil, lecturing, wi*iting, distributing circulars, and travel.
But Millbury happened to be only a little ahead of its neighbors. Twelve
or fifteen nearby villages promptly followed its example, and early in 1827
Worcester County, Mass., could boast of having the first County Lyceum.

The Lyceum germ having now found a most fertile soil, it might have
been safely left to grow and multiply without further solicitude on the part
of Mr. Holbrook. But he never relaxed his efforts. Up and down and
criss-cross he went, through Massachusetts and Connecticut, always talking
Lyceum, and personally organizing hundreds of societies. In 1828 nearly a
hundi'ed branches of the " American Lyceum " had been formed, and by
the end of 1829 there were societies in nearly every State in the Union.
Two years later their numbers were approaching a thousand, and in 1834,
the high water mark was reached, at which time nearly three thousand town
Lyceums were scattered throughout the United States, from Boston to Detroit
and from Maine to Florida. The greatest interest was shown in JSTew Eng-
land and the South, where everyone who could stoop or talk was picking up
stones for the Lyceum cabinet or working up lectures for the benefit of his
fellow-members.

THE FIRST STATE LYCEUMS.

County Lyceums were formed almost as quickly, Massachusetts being
so dissatisfied -with its record of seventy-eight town and three county Lyceums
in 1829, that it even appointed a State Board to promote the county organ-
izations and thus to hasten the arrival of a State society. This Board did its
work so well that early in 1831 the State organized its longed-for Lyceum.

20 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

But it was not the first in point of time. Though by only six weeks, yet
for once IS^ew York had beaten New England in the educational race, while
Florida, a State of twelve years' standing, was but little behind. Others
followed rapidly, and on May 4th, 1831, New York City received the conven-
tion for the formation of an American Lyceum. One thousand town Lyceums
were represented by twenty-three delegates, and in a meeting enthusiastic
to the last degree, the American Lyceum was triumphantly organized " for
ever and ever," declaring its object to be " the advancement of education,
especially in the common schools, and the general diffusion of knowledge."
A splendid program, indeed; the pity of it is that the association had so short
a life in which to carry it out. For eight years meetings were held annually
in ISTew York, the number of delegates varying from sixty to a hundred,
according to the state of ways, wind and weather, three of the most important
items to be considered by any convention in those days. Unfortunately, the
meetings were all held in the spring, when mud was the deepest and rain the
heaviest, so that, although at least eight States — Xew York, Maine, MassH-
chusetts, Illinois, jSTew Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Florida —
formed State Lyceums, there was never a meeting at which all the eight were
represented. In November, 1839, a National Convention was called. This
was attended by more delegates than had gathered at any previous meeting;
it was even more enthusiastic; it offered suggestions for almost every branch
of education; it adjourned full of plans for the future, — and never met
again. Thus died the American Lyceum Union, and no historic lantern
throws light on the cause of its sudden exit. But its eight years of life had
been worth while in eveiy way. It forwarded education in Cuba, Venezuela
and Mexico; it gave our common school system an impetus toward better
things which has never been lost, and it left behind many educational, literary
and lecture associations founded through its influence, some of which are still
in existence, and all of which have left their influence on the educational life
of the country.

The town Lyceums, also, were left, and these carried on their work, each
in its own manner, some for a year, some for twenty, thirty or fifty. The
purpose of all was well enough expressed in the constitution of the society
in New Bedford, Mass. " The objects of this Lyceum are the improvement
of its members in useful knowledge, and the advancement of popular educa-
tion." As to the fee for membership, let us turn again for information to
the same constitution, which probably differed little from any other, and

I

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 21

which states that " one animal fee shall be two dollars, but the sum of thirtv
dollars paid at any time will entitle a person, his heirs and assigns, to one
membership forever." It is not recorded how many persons availed them-
selves of the privileges so generously offered in this latter clause.

A list of the towns in which these Lyceums were established might be
interesting, but such a list is not kno^vn to exist. More, however, seem to
have been in Massachusetts than in any other State. New Bedford, Mill-
bury, Concord, Salem, Cambridge, Littleton, Beverly, Worcester, Harvard,
Topsfield, Charlestown and Boston, of which last Daniel Webster was presi-
dent for several years, these are a few of the many organized in that State.
In the other States, even the names of the towns seem lost. Andover, IST. H.,
had a Lyceum, and so did Detroit, Mich., while Windham County, Conn.,
was the second (Worcester, Mass., being the first) to form a county Lyceum.
We know that the idea was taken up with spirit throughout the South, par-
ticularly in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. But nowhere do the
Lyceums seem to have lived so long or to have left so deep an impression as in
Massachusetts. Consequently, the history of the Lyceum is its history in
Massachusetts, at least from 1825 to 1890.

HOME TALENT.

But, whether their existence was long or short, the central idea of all
the three thousand Lyceums of 1834 was that of self-instruction and mutual
education. The means by which they set about attaining this end were
various, consisting of lectures, debates, essays, conversation, or a mixture
of all, though in most cases the meetings varied only between lectures and
debates. However, everything educational was grist for their mills, and it
is recorded that in the town of Concord, when once a storm kept away the
lecturer of the evening, the chairman read Governor Morton's message aloud,
from beginning to end. It may well be said that our ancestors were of
sterner stuff than we. These meetings were held weekly. How did the com-
mittee manage to secure such a continuous performance of lecturers and
debaters? By means of home talent. For the first ten years of the system
there was almost no interchange of lecturers. Every man spoke in his home
town only, and spoke whenever requested, upon whatever subject he knew
best. But if the membership fee was only about two dollars, how did the
societies manage to pay all these scores of lecturers? Ah, here the modest
beauty of the system makes us moderns blush! Until about 1840 home talent

received no fee except the applause of fellow-citizens; and as lecturers from
outside, if any ever came, received only traveling expenses, the main source
of outlay was the lighting of the hall. Thus, in an " Historical Sketch of the
Salem Lyceum," we learn that from 1830 to 1845 native Salemites delivered
127 of all the lectures given in that town, while during the next forty years
only forty were given by home talent. According to the same good author-
ity, it would seem that the town of Salem was either exceedingly extravagant,
or else much more well-to-do than its neighbors. For, after 1836, the towns-
people were paid, and, more than that, were paid twenty dollars for an address.
It was Salem, too, which about this time gave the first hundi'ed-dollar fee
ever received by any lecturer, Daniel Webster being the honored recipient
of this unheard-of honorarium. The contrast between Salem and the neigh-
boring towns in this respect is shown by the fact that in 1841 a particularly
bright and shining star was offered ten dollars in addition to his expenses
as a special inducement to lecture in Concord. We may suppose that he
accepted with alacrity, but it was some time before the thrifty folks of
Concord could forgive the wasteful extravagance of their committee. Why
should they have offered ten dollars, wlien five would probably have done
as well?

THE TWO SUEVIVOES.

Up to a certain point the history of all the Lyceums is the same; first,
home talent only; then a few speakers from nearby towns, just for variety's
sake; then imported lecturers almost entirely — if the Lyceum organization
lasted long enough. Comparatively few of them did reach this third stage.
They passed out of existence very rapidly during the late thirties and the ten
or fifteen years following- and their little libraries and collections of geolog-
ical, mineralogical or natural history specimens were scattered, or went to
build up other institutions. The Lyceum village of Berea, O., which Mr.
Holbrook established in 1837, and which he fondly hoped would be the first
of a series stretching across the continent, failed within ten years. By 1880
not one in thirty of the old Lyceums remained; now there are but two,
historic Concord, and Salem. In these the Lyceum is a li^dng force to-day,
no less than in Ottawa, Kan., or in Elkhart, Ind., and the history of either
for the past seventy-five years is such as would gladden the heart of Josiah
Holbrook himself; it is the story of an undying devotion to all that is best
and noblest in popular education.

It may be worth while to come a little closer to these two typical and

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. B3

Listoric Lyceums that we may learn in what respects they differ from their
younger brethren, and in what particular qualities we may find the secret of
their survival.

The Concord Lyceum was founded by Mr. Holbrook himself on the 7th
of Januaiy, 1829, II we may believe the address made by C. H. Walcott
at the celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, there were fifty-seven charter
members, although that number was soon greatly increased. Each member
might bring his family and two ladies, while, as a special privilege, widows,
mth their children, were admitted without charge. Probably it was assumed,
if not figured, that widows and children would not carry away enough wis-
dom to rob any one else who might benefit by it. I'he first lecturer, oddly
enough, in those days of home talent, lived at least six miles away, in the
neighboring town of Waltham. His address bore the familiar title of " Pop-
ular Superstitions," but, as nothing remains to us except the • name, it is
impossible to judge of the lecture itself, either as to its scope or as to its lit-
erary quality. In the course of the next half century the little town
of two thousand inhabitants indulged itself in 784 lectures, 105 debates
and 14 concerts, these last being given after 1870. JSTot all the lectures
were given by residents of the town, although, with citizens Ralph
Waldo Emerson and Henry D. Thoreau as a beginning, it hardly seems that
the town would need to call in outside aid very often. As a matter of
fact, Emerson gave ninety-eight of these lectures, and Thoreau, who was
secretary of the Lyceum in 1840, nineteen, — all without pay, as befitted loyal
towTismen. These alone were enough to insure the success of the Lyceum
in Concord; but when in addition we see upon its list of lecturers for that
first fifty years such men as Henry Ward Beecher, Stan* King, Edward
Everett Hale, Theodore Parker, Horace Greeley, Louis Agassiz, Oliver W.
Holmes, James Hussell Lowell, Charles A. Dana, Edwin Whipple, James
T. Fields, Wendell Phillips and George W. Curtis, and these not once only,
but repeatedly, we can no longer wonder at the continued success of tho
Concord Lyceum. The town is noted, also, as the first to include music in
its Lyceum courses. This was in the winter of 1830-31. Possibly there was
no way to avoid it, as said music was furnished by the Concord Band, which
occasionally volunteered its services, — whenever it had learned a new piece,
probably. In addition to the music, the strenuous Concordites had a course
of twelve debates and thirty lectures. 'No wonder that a committee varying
in number from three to six had to be appointed annually " to regulate the

24 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

behavior of the boys." Lecture committees of to-day might take a hint hero
from old Concord. For a number of years only members of the Lyceum and
the inevitable " widows, with their families," were allowed to attend. Then,
as great lecturers came from outside, whom non-members desired to hear, the
ticket system began to be adopted, and finally it supplanted the old system.

There are no records to show that the Concord Lyceum ever made any
collection worthy of the name. It seems to have devoted itself almost
entirely to lectures and debates, and is now similar in almost every par-
ticular to any other enterprising modern Lyceum. But the Salem Society,
now known as the Essex Institute, from the incorporation into itself of several
other bodies, historical or scientific, has retained, unchanged, the spirit with
which it was founded early in 1830. There are, and there have been from
the first, a library, and a museum of natural history, while the Institute is
divided into four departments, historical, natural history, horticultural and
fine arts, and tAvo free lecture courses, with exhibitions and publications, aid
the members in their study. Josiah Holbrook's idea in its perfected form
exists to-day in the Salem Institute, and nowhere else.

One other institution there is, however, which should venerate the name
of Holbrook, and that is the Lowell course of free lectures, of Boston, later
called the Lowell Institute, which owes its foundation in 1832 by John
Lowell, a cousin of the poet, to the influence of Josiah Holbrook. This Insti-
tute, according to Dr. Edward Everett Hale, was simply the culmination of
the various courses already existing in Boston, and which he declares to have
been conducted almost exactly on the plan of the present-day University
Extension lectures, — except for two important things: there was less to pay
and more to hear. The prices varied from fifty cents to two dollars a course,
while the lectures might number anywhere from ten to fifteen. In " A New
England Boyhood," Dr. Hale mentions as among these lecturers of the early
thirties Dr. Jacob Bigelow, giving courses on botany; Henry "Ware, on Pal-
estine, and Edward Everett, on Greek antiquities.

LOWELL AS A LECTURER.

According to " James Russell Lowell and His Friends," also by Dr.
Hale, there were in Boston alone, towards the end of the same decade, public
courses given by at least five organizations: the Boston Lyceum, the Society
for Diffusing Useful Knowledge, the Mercantile Library Association, the
Mechanics' Association and the Historical Society. It was by lectures before

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 85

these bodies, says Dr. Hale, that James Russell Lowell first gained a local
reputation and a name, while still a boj scarcely out of college and not yet
even of age. He was feeling around for his place in the world, and it was
not long before his temperance lectures and afterwards those on anti-slavery
had given him a reputation which made him one of the most popular lecturers
up to the time of the Civil War. It was probably in the early part of his
career that he wrote to the Andover Lyceum, asking if they would give " so
much as five dollars " for a lecture. This letter, we are told, is still in
existence, but, unfortunately for those who would like to know whether or not
he got the job, the answer is not. It is to be hoped, however, that the
Andover committee seized upon the chance.

It must have been some years later tliat Lowell's brilliant contemporary,
Starr King, perpetrated that now well-worn Lyceum chestnut, " F A M E. —
Fifty And My Expenses," when asked for what he lectured. It was Starr
King, also, who was first responsible for the saying that to be truly popular
a Lyceum lecture should be made up of five parts of sense and five of non-
sense.

THE FIEST PKOFESSIONAL LECTDEEB.

Mr. King was among the earliest professional lecturers, and yet by no
means the first. The five years of the greatest development of the old
Lyceum, from 1835 to 1840, marked the arrival of the professional lecturer
as well as the beginning of the end for the system which made him not only
possible, but necessary. And it is to Emerson that we must give the credit
of discovering this new profession. Time, Horace Mann lectured every week-
day night for eleven years, 1837 to 1848; but these were the years of his
secretaryship for the Massachusetts Board of Education, and the lecturing
was considered by him only a part of his duty, says Thomas Wentworth Hig-
ginson. But Emerson lectured ninety-eight times in Concord and twenty
successive years in Salem. Higginson tells us that when he was manager of
the Newburyport lecture course, in 1847, he received the strictest directions
to include Emerson, no matter who else was on the course, and to pay him
twenty dollars, while no one other speaker was to receive more than fifteen.
Moreover, Emerson felt so confident of his position that some time in the
forties he wrote a letter to the Waltham committee, stating that he would
" come for the five dollars offered, but must have in addition four quarts of
oats for his horse." (We are glad to say that he received the provender,
though only after much discussion.) Yes, Emerson was the first professional

26 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

lecturer, and it has been said of liim, not only that he created that profession,
but that he gave the Lyceum of this country its form and character. Almost
everything he wrote after "" oSTature," say the " Old South Leaflets," was
originally for the platform. " My pulpit is the Lyceum platform," he once
said, and his devotion to it during the five-dollar days was well rewarded when
in his later years he received from $150 to $500 for a single lecture.

But Emerson did not long hold the platform alone as a professional
lecturer. John B. Gough began lecturing in 1842, and Wendell Phillips
three years later. In this same year of 1845, by the way. Dr. A. A. Willits,
now well named the Dean of the American Platform, delivered his first lec-
ture, in Philadelphia, on the subject of " The Model Wife." It may be inter-
esting to know that this lecture, though sixty-one years of age, is still in Dr.
Willits' s repertoire, and is still available.

THE PLATFORM A EEFOKM AGENT.

Others rapidly followed, — George William Curtis, E. P. ^Hiipple,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Bayard Taylor, and then, as the spirit of reform and
agitation swept over the country, the platform became one of the strongest
and most effective brooms used in the sweeping. Every well-known lecturer
was a reformer, and a reformer to whom his cause was dearer than was life
itself. Temperance, woman's suffrage and the anti-slavery movement, — <
these were the three great causes which gave to these inspired men and women
veritable words of flame. Lowell threw himself with enthusiasm, first into the
cause of temperance, then of anti-slavery. Gough never swerved from the
position he had taken in 1842 as an antagonist of drink, but Lucy Stone, Anna
Dickinson, Wendell Phillips, George William Curtis, Henry Ward Beecher,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Edward H. Chapin, Charles Sumner, and many
others who had entered the Lyceum in behalf of temperance or woman's
rights, these, subordinating the lesser cause to the greater, as 1850 approached,
joined William. Lloyd Garrison and Fred Douglass in denouncing and argu-
ing against slavery and the slave-holders.

Then came the days of hostile audiences, of hisses and catcalls, and even
bodily assault upon the lecturer. On several occasions Garrison narrowly
escaped injury, and it is recorded of Miss Stone that it was only her quick
wit which saved her and her companion from an angry mob gathered to attack
them after an anti-slavery meeting. Terrified for Miss Stone as he saw the
hostile faces confronting them, her friend exclaimed, " What can I do to pro-

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 27

tect you? " " Oh/' slie replied, '' this gentleman will take care of me," — at
the same time placing her hand on the arm of one of the ringleaders. The
man gaped in astonishment, but meekly accepted the trust. He escorted Miss
Stone in safety through the staring mob, v»'hich was so absorbed in staring,
by the way, that even her friend as well came off scot-free.

But Miss Stone was at this time thoroughly accustomed both to ridicule
and to passive and active opposition. It was in 1847, as Major Pond tells
us in his " Eccentricities of Genius," that a Maiden (Mass.) minister thus
announced her anti-slavery address: "I am requested by Mr. Mowey to
announce that a hen will endeavor to crow like a cock at the Town Hall this
afternoon. Those of you who are interested in such an exhibition will, of
course, attend." Unfortunately, we are not told of the size of the audience
gathered by this appeal.

In these years the first effort of every speaker was to get an audience;
the second, to make it friendly. All sorts of devices were used in order to
change hostility or open indifference into eager, wann-hearted sympathy.
An excellent case in point is one related of Wendell Phillips by Dr. E. E.
Hale. Phillips was billed to lecture in a certain town, but nothing had been
said about the address itself up to the time of his arrival. Then it appeared
that the committee was " stuck "; half of them wanted " The Lost Arts," and
the others an anti-slavery talk, while no one would give in. " Well," said
Phillips, "I'll give both; ^ The Lost Arts' first, and then an anti-slavery
speech to all who wish to stay for it." And he did. Of course, no one left the
hall after the first lecture, and he had the sympathetic and even enthusiastic
audience which he desired for his second.

The war passed on, and left the reputations of these men and women
higher than ever. Anna Dickinson had changed Vermont from a Democratic
to a Republican State ; Mary Livermore had brought about the great Sanitary
Commission Fairs for the benefit of the wounded soldiers; Beecher had sold
slaves in Plymouth Church, and secured in an hour thousands of dollars for
the freedmen. 'Not one of the great agitators but was overwhelmed with
laurels won before and during the war. Here was material ready to hand
from which to reconstruct the lecture system, which had been well-nigh
destroyed during the five years' struggle. And it was reconstructed. At
least there were many lectures given. But for several years there was no
system about it. Only too often did a committee inform a lecturer that it
would " try to pay " the fee named. He would come, lecture with all his

28 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

might, and then would receive the proceeds of a collection, which rarely even
paid expenses. The definitely-stated fees were quite as surprising in their
nature and amount. Beecher was one day paid with twelve bushels of pota-
toes, and in Andover, N, H., Gough once received a ham as his fee.

It seems, perhaps, unworthy of our great speakers that the " filthy
lucre " should have been of the slightest consequence to them. It must have
been, however, as they soon began to vigorously " kick against the pricks "of
this system, and within a year or two after the Civil War many lecturers
absolutely refused to speak at all unless guaranteed a definite compensation.
The collection method was evidently unsatisfactory; what system could be
devised which would suit?

THE ASSOCIATED WESTERN LITEEABY SOCIETIES.

The enterprising West took the first step toward solving the problem.
In this supposedly raw and uncultured land there were, it appears, even at
this time, numerous oases in the shape of literary societies. A number of
these societies, anxious to hear the great literary and military lights of the
East, but each unable by itself to bear the necessary expense, decided that
in union was strength, and in 1867 organized themselves into the " Associated
Western Literary Societies." The combination was successful from the start.
In 1867-8, the first secretary, Mr. G. L. Torbert, of Dubuque, la., brought
thirty-five lecturers West, as we are told by Thomas Wentworth Higginson,
and managed to give them tolerably consecutive dates among the one hun-
dred and ten allied societies stretching from Pittsburg, Pa., to Leavenworth,
]ian. The next year, C. S. Carter, of Michigan University, enticed even
more speakers into the " golden West," and the societies fairly reveled in
the learning and oratory which was showered over them. As a separate
institution, however, the association lasted only imtil 1870, when it was
merged into the American Literary Bureau of New York, then in its third
vigorous year. Mr. James K. Medbury, the founder of this Bureau, did not
long enjoy a monopoly of the big new field just opened for cultivation. In
fact, the year 1868 marked not only the establishment of his o^vn Bureau,
but also that of its rival, the Boston Lyceum Bureau (now Redpath) by
James Redpath. Benjamin Webb Williams followed in 1869 with the
Williams Lecture and Musical Bureau, and the day of helter-skelter lectur-
ing had passed forever. The object of all three of these pioneer Bureaus
was the same, — to systematize the lecture business, and do away with ham

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 29

and potatoes as lecture fees. And the lecturers, at least, were willing to be
systematized. Business poured in upon the Bureaus, — more business than
they could well manage in those days, when stenography and typewriters
were unknown. There were still giants in those days, and the list of names
on the first Bureau announcement ever issued sounds very much like a hasty
review of the greatest men of the century, — Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, Henry
Wilson (Senator from Massachusetts), George William Curtis, John B.
Gough, General Swift (of Massachusetts), Horace Greeley, Russell H. Conwell
and Fred Douglass. Twelves names, hardly one of which is not recalled with
love and admiration to-day, although, with one exception, that of Russell
Conwell, belonging to a past generation; and there were other lecturers, as
good or nearly so. Those were palmy days for the Lyceum, the palmiest it
had known, for, if the array of talent was the most remarkable in the history
of the institution, the prices paid for it were equally remarkable. Before
1850 there had been but few recorded instances of fees of over fifty dollars,
"while Daniel Webster's occasional compensation of a hundred must have
seemed like a dream to him, — and probably a nightmare to others. But now,
in the early seventies, money was dirt cheap, and the prices paid were fabu-
lous. From Major Pond's " Eccentricities of Genius " we learn that Mark
Twain, then just beginning to lecture, received $300 a night, which doesn't
seem at all bad for a beginner. Beecher received five hundred dollars ordin-
arily, although in 18Y2 he received from the Redpath Bureau the first thou-
sand-dollar fee ever paid to any lecturer. ISTo, the Bureau lost nothing; on
the contrary, it gained double the amount paid Mr. Beecher. Few lecturers
could come up to this standard. P. T. Bamum, as an unreformed circus-
man, and Robert Collyer, the blacksmith-preacher, received two hundred
each, and Anna Dickinson anywhere from one hundred and fifty dollars to
twice that sum. Gough, whose earliest lectures, given in 1842, brought
'him less than a dollar each, and w^hose first settled fee was eight dollars,
according to Benjamin Webb Williams, who paid it to him, now received
from three hundred to five hundred dollars a night for his wonderful temper-
ance addresses. These were ordinary compensations for the kings of the plat-
form. As for those of coarser clay, it would seem, from an old circular of the
American Literary Bureau, that they would accept one hundred dollars if they
could get it. Unfortunately for them, however, most of their fees were ar-
ranged on the sliding scale, — "from one hundred dollars to twenty-five
dollars," for instance, was by no means an uncommon quotation, on this

30 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

circular, at least, — and it is to be wondered how often the recompense did
elide to the top. These home-made lecturers would probably not have objected
to a high tariff on the foreign product when the Williams Bureau imported
Archdeacon Farrar and paid him $2,150 for two lectures. But Major Pond
far surpassed this record when he gave Henry M. Stanley, just returned from
the depths of Africa and the Pygmy forest, the sum of $100,000 for one hun-
dred lectures. The gross receipts for Stanley's first lecture, it may be men-
tioned, were $17,800.

MUSIC IN" THE LYCEUM.

But this was all too good to last, and about 1875 the Lyceum began to
show signs of weakness. The field was constantly growing, and there were
not enough lecturers to go around. Several of the veteran lecturers were
dead, and in their zeal to book those that were well known, the Bureaus had
failed to train up younger men to take their places. The difference between
demand and supply was too great for comfort, and the Bureau managers
turned to music as the one thing which might prop up their tottering courses.
" "Were there no readers in those days? " you may ask. Yes, there were a
few, notably Mrs. Scott Siddons, Charlotte Cushman and Helen Potter, all of
whom drew salaries as high as those of the greatest lecturers of the time.
Lecture courses consisted usually of ten numbers of straight talk, including
one, possibly two, evenings of readings. But the number of readers was small,
indeed, as compared to the large number who fill the ranks to-day, and they
could do little to eke out the lecture courses. Music was the last recourse,
and the Mendelssohn Quintette Club, the first concert company on any
Bureau list, was organized by Mr. Eedpath in 1873. This was soon followed
by the Camilla TJrso Company and the English Lyceum Opera Company.
Then Ole Bull was secured for fifty concerts. It cost $25,000, but the
Bureau did not begrudge the money. Other concert companies were formed,
and introduced a new element into the Lyceum, — the advance agent, the first
of which order was employed by the ola Boston Bureau (now the Redpath
Lyceum Bureau, Hathaway & Pond, managers). Ten years later, in 1887-8,
Mr. Hathaway had five men on the road.

And here begins the modern Bureau system, of which we need say but
little. Several Bureaus had sprung up during the seventies, notably the
Slayton, of Chicago, and the Antrim Entertainment Bureau, of Philadelphia.
During the next decade they came into existence over night, and now there

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 31

are over one hundred and fifty bureaus, large and small, as compared to three
in 1870. A half dozen of the largest of these book over 3,000 dates apiece
each winter. Eighteen thousand lectures, readings and entertainments given
througliout the country every winter ! And in addition there are all the other
one hundred and forty-four Bureaus to be heard from, besides the many
engagements which are made without any Bureau assistance. It seems as
though the numbers must run up into the hundreds of thousands.

And this is entirely irrespective of nearly four hundred Chautauqua
Assemblies which now exist, of the thousands of lectures which are given
yearly in University Extension courses, and of the other thousands which arc
annually provided by the Boards of Education of New York and other cities
desirous of educating their citizens beyond the narrow limits of a school-room.
It may be, and has been, objected that these last two institutions, at least,
are not in any way a part of the Lyceum, and it is true that both speakers and
methods of work are apt to be somewhat dissimilar from those employed in the
Lyceum " proper," yet in their great, central idea, the education and inspira
tion of the people, these institutions are one with the Lyceum, and should
be given brief space in a sketch of the latter.

The free lecture course of ISTew York City was established, according to
"The J^ation," in 1888, through the influence of Commissioner Miles O'Brien.
That year two hundred lectures were given at six centers; ten years later
there were forty-five centers and two thousand lectures, and in 1903 over
1,200,000 people of Greater New York attended the lectures arranged by the
Board of Education. Why are these lectures so wonderfully popular?
Because they are absolutely democratic, and because they give the people
what they want and are asking for in physiology, natural science, travel, his-
tory, art, literature, social science and matters of municipal interest. New
York's experiment has proved a success and well worthy of imitation. Within
the last few years, in fact, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Milwaukee and
other cities have followed in her train, and it is to be hoped that still others
will join the grand procession.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.

As for the UniA'ersity Extension movement, that was imported from
England in 1890, by Provost Pepper, of the University of Pennsylvania.
Uncertain how the experiment would turn out, the first course of lectures,
a series on chemistry, was given in Roxborough, a little suburb of Philadel-

32 WEO'Fi WHO IN TEE LYCEUM.

phia. The Roxboroiighans approved, and the American Society for Uni-
versity Extension was at once organized, on December 23d, 1890. The idea
was eagerly seized upon, and many colleges, large and small, attempted to
increase their influence, presenting series of lectures on various topics, —
science, art, history, literature, etc. In nearly every case, however, as at
Leland Stanford and the Universities of New York and California, the plan
was soon given up entirely, simply for lack of lecturers. The American
Society, already mentioned, and the University of Chicago, alone seem to
Lave solved the problem, having collected each a staff of lecturers, whose
main business it is to lecture for the University Extension. And right here
is a good place to quote Edward Everett Hale's statement that the University
Extension of to-day is almost exactly the Lyceum of the past. In truth, it
bears a much stronger resemblance to the platform of old than does the
present Lyceum. Nothing but lectures on an Extension course, the lectures
always educational, humorous only by mistake or by accident, and usually given
in series, — these three characteristics of the old Lyceum are reproduced
almost exactly in University Extension. And so the old Lyceum in the guise
of University Extension has once more taken firm root in the land. During
the eleventh year after the work began, the Chicago and Philadelphia Associa-
tions presented to the people very nearly one thousand lectures each, while
the number given now is far in advance of this. As W. T. Stead has well said,
" University Extension is the University on wheels,"

THE WOEK OF CHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLIES.

As to the Chautauqua, — well, to quote the late Sam Jones, "We are
not religious enough to run a camp meeting, and county fairs are no longer
popular; so we organize a Chautauqua.'' And yet the gTcat Chautauqua
movement started in a training school for Sunday School teachers, which
held its first meeting at Lake Chautauqua, N. Y,, August, 1874, under the
direction of Bishop John H. Vincent and Lewis Miller, as the Chautauqua
Sunday School Association. Designed at first only for the study of the
Bible and of such things as would directly assist in teaching the Bible, its
idea gradually expanded to cover general education for out-of-school people.
Now for ten weeks each year at Chautauqua Institution, N. Y., there are,
besides the Bible study, classes in nearly every branch of learning, kinder-
garten, gymnasium, athletic sports, lectures, entertainments, — ^nearly every-
thing, it would seem. And it is this Chautauqua Summer Assembly as an

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 33

ideal which is copied in greater or less degree by all the various Chautauquas
of the country, whether their yearly term of existence is one week or onje
month. All have lectures, preferably instructive or inspiring, entertainments
of the better class, Bible study, and as many others of the characteristic fear
tures as the differences of time and place will allow. It is a school for people
out of school. True, the instruction lasts, at most, but for a month, or two,
but the intellectual stimulus given to reading and thought afterwards may
uplift and inspire a whole community.

We are told of a certain Western city which had a rather poor minister.
However, the people were well enough satisfied with him until they founded
a Chautauqua and developed under its stimulus. But the minister didn't,
and it was not long before he became so unsatisfactory that he had to leave
the town. And the mental growth in this place is only a sample of that in
many others.

The Chautauqua Assembly, like the Lyceum, has come to stay. Last
summer nearly four hundred Assemblies were held, and every issue of the
Lyceum magazines gives accounts of the incorporation of others. It may
seem an odd thing, perhaps, that this movement is most flourishing in the
Central West and in the South rather than in supposedly cultured New Eng-
land. The truth is, however, that Iowa and Illinois are much more like old
New England than New England itself is now. " Westward the course of
Chautauquas takes its way," and last summer, while Iowa numbered perhaps
sixty Chautauquas, Illinois forty, Indiana twenty, and Ohio twenty-five, all
New England could not muster ten. In the South, too, the Chautauqua idea
has found an eager acceptance, and nowhere in the Union are there more
enterprising or better-conducted Assemblies than are scattered all through
the territory south of Mason and Dixon's line.

Of the Chautauqua idea President Roosevelt has said: "I know of nothing
in the whole country which is so filled with blessing for the nation." " Except
the Lyceum courses," he might have added, for the two go hand in hand.
Both absolutely popular and democratic in their origin and working out, they
represent and reflect the thought of the day as does no other movement. Here
the great questions of our time are discussed before audiences open to convio-

message for people w^ho think may most quickly reach those people. The
Chautauqua and Lyceum platforms, " one and inseparable," have become the

time, and a sure bulwark of our democracy.

THE LYCEUM TO-MOKROW.

Before leaving these fertile acres of the Lyceum field historic, and while
the spirit of divination seems abroad, stand on any one of these mountain
peaks and look. You are not a prophet ? Yerj well, yet may you be a seer.
What see you? What of the future of the Lyceum?

To what issue point all these fingers of vision, all the Lyceum signs of
the times?

Professor James, of Hai'vard, standing on Mount Philosophy, in his cur-
rent lectureship — Lowell Institute, 1906 — discussing " Pragmatic Philos-
ophy," makes implicitly but little more than a fresh appeal in behalf of the
scientific method. We may go with him, even though we recognize that he
does not go to the end of his quest. We may ignore for the nonce the truth
that pragmatic philosophy is itself unpragmatic by as much as it pronounces
a priori judgments, and in that it denies, or doubts, or ignores all pragmatic
values in idealistic verities; and yet, at the same time we may reasonably and
piously salute pragmatic philosophy in its apotheosis of common sense ; in our
"mental attitude towards the material universe, its mysteries and their signifi-
cance. Common sense gives us trustworthy — if not the only trustworthy —
points of observation and of experiment. »

CORONATION OF COMMON SENSE.

Unquestionably — from our Mount of Vision we may clearly see it —
unquestionably the Lyceum of to-day st-ands, and the Lyceum of to-morrow
"svill stand, for the coronation of this plain common sense of the people, and
for the annunciation and for the defense of fact, of truth, of reality, of actual
human experience. Its platform is as broad as human thought, and as free
as the air. And upon it there shall yet be won the most signal victories of
political cleanness, of civic righteousness, of educational sanity, of ethical and
social justice, yea, of religious freedom.

HOW TO ORGANIZE AND MANAGE A LYCEUM COURSE.

BY LAURENCE TOM KERSEY.

D

O organize and successfully manage a lyceuin course, one thing is
absolutely necessary. Things of secondary importance are numer-
ous, but of so little consequence in comparison to this one thing that
only a few need even be mentioned. For instance, there should be
some sort of an auditorium that can be heated, lighted and ventilated and
that contains some chairs or benches and a platform or stage. Within a
radius of five or ten miles there should be people enough, in case they all
" turn out," to comfortably fill the auditorium. A railway station, near or
within a day's drive, is a convenience, though not an absolute necessity. If
in this community there is already an intellectual hungering for good things
in the lyceum, very welL If this appetite has never been known, there is the
additional pleasure in store of creating it. If it once existed, but has been
lost, or impaired, by the injudicious choice of food, overloading or long sus-
tenance without a change of diet, then to properly diagnose the case, pre-
scribe and see the normal appetite return, brings pleasure untold. Condi-
tions of secondary importance might be multiplied in number without limit,
but the absolute necessities for carrying on a course are limited to one thing,
and that one thing is nothing more nor less than a man or woman.

As to the occupation or station in life of this particular person there
are no requirements. He or she may be the principal of schools, the cashier
of the bank, the secretary of the Y. M. or Y. W. C. A., a clerk in the store,
a doctor, or the pastor of a church, though he is just as likely to be a well-
driller, a mechanic or a day laborer. He is seldom manager of the opera
house, though there are a few notable exceptions to this rule, and he is never
a patron of the saloon. He is generally the busiest man in to^vn. He may
be a college graduate and he may not. He may have traveled and seen the
benefits of the lyceum course in other places, or he may have caught his
inspiration from reading accounts of such things by candle-light after his
day's work is done. He is strictly honest and upright, unselfish, sympathetic,
willing to do a lot of hard work without financial remuneration, or much out-
ward manifestation of appreciation. He is a good judge of human nature,

38 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

quick to see the needs and desires of liis fellows, and quick to see a way of
satisfying them. He is alert to all just criticism, but not sensitive to it. Hav-
ing carefully considered a proposition and decided to undertake it, he knows
no such word as fail. He must have an ideal. He is not merely a visionary
character, this ideal manager, existing in imagination only. He is a real man
or woman, and is living in almost every city, town and village in America.
Find him, and the problem of a lyceum course is solved.

THE OBJECT OF A COURSE.

Before proceeding with the organization of a course the ideal manager
will probably seriously consider the following questions :

What is the object of a lyceum course ?

What is there to do in running one ?

How can it be done ?

The object of a course should be mutual benefit — the greatest good to
the gTcatest number. Two things are to be done — a course is to be selected,
and season tickets enough to pay for it are to be sold. There are two ways
of doing a thing. One is to do it yourself, the other is to get some one else
to do it for you. The man or woman who combines these two methods
selects a few capable, congenial associates and says, " Come on," has the thing
already half done.

To successfully manage a lyceum course often takes more time and
effort than any one individual cares to devote to the cause, and whenever he
undertakes to realize a profit from running a course, the fundamental prin-
ciple upon which the course is supposed to be founded — mutual benefit — is
likely to be lost sight of. H the course is to be run for financial gain it then
becomes merely a commercial enterprise, and, like the theater, will succeed
or fail financially, according to the drawing power of the attractions. As
the vital factors in a lyceum course have less drawing power than those less
vital, the quahty of the course is likely, sooner or later, to deteriorate.

SELECTING A COMMITTEE.

Generally speaking, a man takes less interest, feels less responsibility,
and puts less of his individuality into a cause if acting as a member of a
committee than if acting alone. But a committee, composed of several indi-
viduals, a little better represents the various interests of a community, is a
little less apt to be influenced by a desire for financial gain, can a little better .1 1

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 39

afford to do the work to be done, gives the course a little more popularity
and is more likely to make of it a permanent annual feature.

There are many ways of selecting a committee, which fact no doubt
accounts for many of the lyceum course failures.

A meeting of all citizens interested in a course may be called to make
the selection. Selections made at such times are generally made without
much knowledge of or regard to the adaptability of the individuals selected,
or to the work to be accomplished. However, at this meeting something less
than a dozen people are likely to assemble, and if the prime mover in the
enterprise is discouraged by this seeming lack of interest, it is evident that
he has missed his calling and should proceed no farther as a manager. Sup-
pose a coal dealer should call a meeting on some hot evening in July of all
those interested in coal, and then lay in a supply for the winter according to
the interest manifested at that meeting!

A list of guarantors may be secured, each agreeing to share equally in
any loss which may result from running the course. Each signer being finan-
cially interested thus becomes a supporter of the course. A committee may
be selected by and from these signers. But imless some one makes it his
business to see to it that enough season tickets are sold to pay for the course,
there will be a loss, and these guarantors cannot be induced to continue for
more than a year or two.

The Young People's Society of some church — or, better yet, the socie-
ties of the various churches — may organize a committee, but by the time
such an organization is perfected and ready to act, some one has done work
enough to have established a course by some more direct means.

In a city, some society, club, organization or association having a well-
established reputation for something other than that of raising money " for
the benefit of " something, is an excellent medium through which to manage
a course.

The principal of the high, school, assisted by his pupils, can make a
course exceedingly popular.

The best and most business-like method by which the man who has
undertaken the organization of a course can proceed, is to select a few con-
genial associates, choosing each with special reference to the thing that that
particular individual is to do, just as he would make his selections if he were
organizing an orchestra or a baseball team. In launching out in a commer-
cial line a man doesn't call the citizens of the town together to select a part-

40 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

ner for him, evf;n though he does hope to get their patronage later on. This
group of workers — the smaller the better — should settle upon a clearly-
defined object and policy, which should be made known to the public. They
should fill their own vacancies and hold office for life, or during good
behavior.

If there is anything more to be desired than a committee thus organ-
ised, consisting of live, active, enthusiastic, soulful persons w^ho can work
together harmoniously, it is a lyceum course association that is incorporated,
or better yet, a course that is endowed and at home in its own Lyceum Hall;
and even then such a committee as that just mentioned is of the greatest
importance.

Upon the committee rests the fate of the course. ISTo less important than
a place on the school board is a place on the lyceum course committee. If
permanency is a feature to be desired in the lyceum course, a place on the
committee is of far greater importance, for the school is supported by taxes
which must be paid, and its permanency is assured, while the lyceum course
is maintained by money paid voluntarily, and the course dies when it ceases
to be popular.

The lyceum course has been pointed out as the People's Col-
lege— as the prime factor in the supplementary education of the
public. Supplementary education is about the only education a
large percentage of the people get after the age of fourteen. The
lyceum course committee then holds in its grasp the education of the
people. The man or woman who does not appreciate this fact, and is not
impressed by his responsibility, has no business on a committee. The commit-
teeman who fully comprehends the relation that he, by virtue of his position,
holds to the moral and intellectual interests of the community in which he
lives, will avail himself of every opportunity of becoming qualified for the
position. He will study the local conditions, tastes and requirements. He
will hear as many attractions himself as possible. He will communicate with
managers of courses in other towns, and he will read the lyceum journals
thoroughly. The man who invests a dollar and a half in a setting of eggs,
with a view to entering the fancy poultry business, subscribes for a poultry
journal. Schools and colleges and universities have well-planned and care-
fully worked-out courses of study calculated to carry out the ideal of each
particular institution. The management of a lyceum course should have an
ideal. Such a thing is not possible if the personnel of the committee changes
each year.

WHO'8 WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 41

SELECTING A COURSE.

The selection of a course is a great responsibility. It should be made
■with a good deal of deliberation, and after exhausting all of the reasonable
methods of arriving at the truth as to what attractions are best suited to the
particular audience before which they are to be brought. The traveling
representative of some reputable lyceum bureau is, or ought to be, the com-
mitteeman's best friend and adviser. This statement has no reference to the
man who goes out one or two days a week for four or five weeks a year to
replenish his salary by commissions on a few courses he hopes to sell during
his summer vacation. It has reference to the intelligent, well-educated man
or woman, who has been, is and expects to continue representing some repu-
table bureau, who knows the attractions of the lyceum in general, not merely
the names and prices of those on his own list, who goes to the same towns
year after year, and expects to be back again next year. He talks with hun-
dreds of committeemen and gets their testimonials and ratings direct as to
the merits of various attractions under various conditions. He hears and
knows personally many of the men and women on the platform. The com-
mittee has a chance to become personally acquainted with him, and to learn
what estimate can be placed upon all his statements.

It is better to buy one good one than six or eight " just as good attrac-
tions." One lecture may give the lyceum movement in a locality an
impetus which will cause it to live forever. One course of six or eight or
ten " pulpit exchanges,'' and amateur musicians and entertainers purporting
to be given as a lyceum course, may kill it for years. It isn't from an encyclo-
pedia or an unabridged dictionary that the public gets its definition of the
terms lecture and lyceum. It's from the first lecture, concert or entertain-
ment on a lyceum course, or from the lyceum course as a whole, advertised
and given as such that this definition comes.

To overcome the popular opinion as to what a lecture really is — an
impression gained by having listened to talks, extra long and extra dry, given
under the guise of lectures " for the benefit of " something, by some one who
really has nothing to say — is often the greatest difficulty the committee has
to contend with in establishing a course.

If a course the best suited to local conditions is to be chosen, notify
two or three or four of the leading lyceum bureaus operating in your terri-
tory of the fact and await results. Advise these bureaus not to send a repre-
sentative too far out of his way to see you immediately, as you do not intend

42 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

to do anything rasli — then don't. If in response you receive a telegram from
some representative requesting that you have a committee meeting for him
at a certain hour, have it. And have every member of the committee there.
Don't meet him with the chilling shock that a few of you will look over his
list and report to the others. That's an insult to him. You might as well
carry the principle a little farther, and instead of running a course yourselves
send a few of your citizens to a neighboring town to hear a lecturer, and let
them report to those of you who didn't go.

The committeeman who, instead of going to the committee meetings,
repeatedly sends word, " Go ahead; whatever you do will be all right with
me," should be dropped from the committee at the first opportunity. Com-
mittees running lyceum courses should carry no excess baggage. The mem-
ber who, instead of going, sends word, " Take no action until I see you,"
should be dropped on the spot. It's well for a wagon to have a rub-lock some-
where in the vicinity of the hind wheels to be used in case of emergency, but
to have all four of the wheels tied, when the horses are hitched ready to pull,
is bad.

Discuss matters very freely with this representative, and get from him
all the information possible on every phase of the lyceum course problem,
and especially upon the attractions he has to offer. Outline several combina-
tions which seem the best suited to your condition, then say to him that you
will make your decision soon after seeing the representatives of other bureaus
to which you wrote. This last statement he will regret to hear you make,
and if he is an experienced representative he will make it hard for you to
make it. But while he regrets to hear this statement from you, he is thank-
ful that some other committee is making the same statement to some one of
his competitors. He will then try to get you to promise not to contract until
he sees you again. Better not make any such promise. He could thus delay
your action all summer.

Treat every other representative exactly as you have treated this one.
Do not quote either the prices, the attractions offered, or the statements of
one representative to another. Do not encourage knocking. Do not make
many promises as to what you will do, or just when you will do it; but those
promises you make, keep. Promises made to the traveling representative of
a lyceum bureau should be kept as faithfully as any other promises you ever
make. And when you contract for a course stand by that contract as you
would by one made in any other line of business. Bureau managers and their

WHO'S WHO IN TEE LYCEUM. 43

representatives are sometimes not as honorable as they should be, but they
will be more honorable when ministers, Y. M. C. A. secretaries, Young Peo-
ple's Society presidents, and business men with whom they deal, set them a
better example. Notifying a lyceum bureau that you intend to run a lyceum
course does not in any way obligate you to buy when the representative calls,
but sending a bureau such a notification does obligate you to give the rep-
resentative, when he comes, the undivided attention of every member of the
committee for a reasonable length of time. The time and money he spends
in coming to see you is not in payment for a contract, but for the best possible
opportunity of favorably impressing you with the attractions he has to offer.

When all representatives have been seen the committee should meet and
carefully consider all propositions. When a selection has been made all
bureaus that have been represented should be notified immediately. Not only
the fact that a course has been contracted for, but the names of the attrac-
tions selected should be reported. Managers like to keep a record of all
courses, and this bit of information is certainly due them in return for the
visit made by their representative.

Setting a date on which a course is to be bought, and notifying all
bureaus of that fact, unless the notification is sent well in advance of the
date, often conflicts with plans already made by the representatives, and when
the meeting occurs gives each one only a small fraction of the time he needs
to present his list, i^nd unless the committee is exceptionally well posted,
looking over three or four lists of attractions, and selecting the course best
suited to their needs, is more than the work of one confusing session. Since
the traveling representative is probably the best source through which to get
all information concerning available attractions, prices, approximate dates,
etc., see him first, then using your best judgment, together with all the infor-
mation you can possibly get from all sources, select the course. Be very
careful about trying an unknown attraction. Be equally careful about trying
one that everybody knows and wants to hear lecture on account of what he
has done in some other line. In advertising an unknown attraction be as
cautious about your advertising as you were in accepting that attraction.

SELLING TICKETS.

The methods of selling the required number of season tickets may be
classified under two heads. One is to proceed upon the basis that the under-
taking may fail unless liberal support is given. The other is to proceed upon

44 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

the basis that as the auditorium is not large enough to seat more than half,
or a third, or one-hundredth, or one-thousandth of the population of the
town, as the case may be, a lot of people are liable to miss a mighty good
thing. There is, however, a third method which is a pretty safe one to
adopt. Proceeding in the spirit of the second, begin early and take advan-
tage of all the precautions of the first. Do not beg people to take tickets. If
a man offers to take one ticket to five or ten good lectures, concerts and
entertainments at the ridiculously low price that is usually offered, " just to
help you out," refuse it on the ground that you have no authority thus to
place yourselves and the whole lyceum course movement of the town under
obligations to him. Do not urge people to take tickets " to help build a side-
walk or a pipe organ." " Save the tag and wrapper " methods may be good
in the sale of tobacco and soap, but they should not be resorted to in the
management of lyceum courses. A lyceum course is supposed to be run for
the intellectual benefit of the community, but who would suspect such a
thing if the committee continually advertises the fact that it is being run to
carpet or fresco a church ? Bring the public to a full realization of the fact
that the person who buys a ticket and hears the attractions on a course then
and there gets all and more than he paid for, and tickets will be sought after.
But while the course is represented as a tool to be used by some improve-
ment society, tickets will go begging. The public in general doesn't become
enthusiastic over a tack hammer or a paint brush. Cut loose all " for the
benefit of " shackles that have already too long held the lyceum course in
servitude and disrepute.

The greatest need of the Lyceum to-day is publicity, of the proper sort.
The newspapers and magazines are the proper channels through which to
create it. Those directly interested are the proper ones to outline the material
for the newspapers and magazines. The men and women on the platform are
directly interested, but they are, or have been until recently, furnishing prac-
tically nothing in this line, — but that's oft' the subject.

ADVERTISING THE COURSE.

Use the newspapers liberally and pay for their use. The man who earns
his daily bread by running a newspaper does not run soap advertisements
free. Why should he run ads. for a lyceum course free ? In both instances
the article advertised is for the good of the community. Use a liberal
amount of advertising space, and he will gladly print all the interesting write-

WHO'8 WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 45

Tips and news items you furnish him. To give the course sufficient publicity
the Lj'^ceum in all its various phases should be kept before the public the year
around, not in a forced, paid-for sort of way, but in an interesting, enlighten-
ing manner. When a course has been contracted for publish that fact imme-
diately as an important news item. Make prominent mention of the various
attractions selected. The public should become interested in knowing who
and what is to be heard on next year's lyceum course. The mere fact that
there is to be a course is old. No new enthusiasm can be created over this.
Watch the newspaper exchanges and the lyceum journals for things of
interest concerning the Lyceum in general, and any attraction in particular
that has been, or is to be, on your course. Quote these items or articles in
your local papers. Furnish the lyceum journals with articles of interest con-
cerning your course, and when these articles come back to you enhanced in
value by their appearance in these journals quote them in the home papers.

The time to begin the active, vigorous advertising campaign depends
somewhat upon the method to be employed in selling the season tickets.
However, it's doubtful if an effort to arouse public interest to its highest in
midsummer, over something that is not to take place until winter, is wise.
If the " If you don't it may fail " method is to be employed, let that be carried
on by a " still hunt " campaign, before much newspaper advertising is done.
Do not try to sell tickets by advertising the fact that the thing may fail. To
try to scare people into a good thing, on the plea that they may miss it, or
get something a good deal worse, is going out of use. Even evangelists are
dropping this method.

The opening of an advertising campaign, like the opening of a big mass
meeting, is often best announced by the sound of the gavel. The gavel to use
in the advertising line is a large display advertisement ; the larger the better
— preferably a full page in the newspapers. But this should not be sounded
until some one is ready with something to say. This full-page display should
contain cuts and names of the various attractions, the dates, prices of tickets
and plenty of white space. It may be run in two or three succeeding issues,
and it can, at small cost, be rim on heavy cardboard sheets to be placed in
windows and on bulletin boards. Immediately following the appearance of
this display advertisement the papers should be well supplied with reading
articles, giving definite, discriminating information concerning the various
attractions, and what each may be expected to do. To give these articles and
their importance greater emphasis, have them set in bold type, running across

46 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

the entire page, under a conspicuous heading, discussing only one attraction
in each article. Do not expect the editor of the paper to prepare these
articles. Ask the bureaus for them. If they cannot supply them write to
the various attractions, in care of the bureau booking them, for such infor-
mation. The probabilities are that neither the bureau nor the attraction has
anything to send you, but they should each be impressed that there exists a
great demand. The poorest material with which newspaper space can pos-
sibly be filled is the stereotyped, undated, unreliable testimonials and com-
ments that are found in the lyceum circulars. Rather than copy these
interview the local liveryman, butcher, banker or school teacher who hap-
pened to see and hear the coming attraction at some other town recently, then
publish this interview.

On a large cardboard mat, 30x40 inches — the same can be secured in
various colors at a furniture store — arrange artistically a group of the attrac-
tions, using the cuts clipped from the advance circulars, a few of which can
always be secured from the bureaus. In large, plain letters, at the top of this
group, place the name of the course and the price of season tickets. The
heading used in the full-page newspaper advertisement can be appropriated
here. Frame this display and place it in some attractive and conspicuous
window. Make and use as many of these as seems advisable.

A day or two after the first display advertisement appears place in every
home — not under the sidewalk, or in a sewer, or on the lawn or porch, but in
the hands of some member of the family — a prospectus of the course. This
prospectus can be made at little expense by binding together the circulars of
the various attractions, using an attractive cover — these are furnished by all
bureaus at small cost — on which should be printed the dates, prices of season
and single tickets and reserves, the time and method of reserving seats, a
statement of the policy or the plan on which the course is being run, and the
number of season tickets there are for sale. Just inside the front cover of
this prospectus bind a card on which is printed an order for season tickets,
to be filled out, signed, detached, stamped and mailed to the committee,
stating the number of tickets wanted. Articles in all newspapers should call
attention to this prospectus that is being distributed, and to the importance
of signing and returning the card in order that the number of tickets wanted
will be saved. These booklets should be distributed either by mail, or by car-
riers under the personal direction of the committee, one being placed in every
home in which there is a possibility of selling a season ticket. A record

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 47

should be kept of those to whom a prospectus was sent, and during the
canvass every person who has not sent in an order for tickets should be seen.
The real object of all this advertising is to create an interest that will
result in selling, or rather in somebody's buying enough season tickets to pay
the contract price of the course. The single admissions will generally pay
the local expenses. If to sell these season tickets a personal canvass is neces-
sary, then make a personal canvass, for the season tickets must be sold. And
make it just at the time the advertising has aroused the greatest interest. A
systematic, vigorous campaign should be planned. Divide the city or town
into districts. Appoint a committee to take charge of the listing in each dis-
trict. On a given day let all committees begin work. The committee doing
the listing should be composed of persons adapted to this sort of work, and
they should invariably go in twos or threes, on the theory that one can
" chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight." The names of sub-
scribers and the number of tickets subscribed for, also the names of those
who refuse to subscribe, should be reported each day to the manager of the
course. This list of subscribers published in the papers is excellent advertis-
ing— ^the new names being added each day. When the canvass has been
completed and the season ticket limit reached, issue in an attractive booklet
form, " vest pocket size," a list of " Patrons of the Lyceum Course," giving
the names, alphabetically arranged, of all subscribers and the number of
tickets they take. This booklet, containing also names and dates of all
attractions on the course should be placed in the hands of every subscriber
and of every person who should have subscribed, but didn't. The best time
to advertise a thing is when that thing has been completely sold out, provided,
of course, that it will be on sale again some time in the future, no matter how
far distant. One " Standing Room Only " sign will arouse more interest
than the most urgent and pitiful plea to " turn out for the benefit of " that
was ever written. In planning the advertising campaign limit the number of
season tickets to be sold to some number, a number as large as there is any
reasonable probability of being able to reach, and then advertise the fact that
only so many season tickets will be sold, with the emphasis on the only. Then
do not oversell this number under any consideration. But when the number
has been reached advertise that fact and furnish a printed list of the sub-
scribers to substantiate it. Upon this personal canvass depends the financial
success of the majority of lyceum courses. Without it all other effort and
advertising is lost, except in places where the course, by long-continued sue-

48 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

cessful management, has become so universally popular that the soliciting for
season tickets is done by the individuals who want to buy them. To bring
about this condition of affairs should be one of the objects of every committee.
As long as the committee continues, however, to make a personal visit year
after year to every prospective ticket buyer, to ascertain if he will take a
ticket again (please), and then another visit to deliver the ticket, together
with a bundle of thanks for the paltry sum received for said ticket, the public
is likely to remain just a little skeptical as to whether the attractions on the
course are really worth the price asked for tickets. Unfortunately, the man-
agement of this lyceum business got started wrong end to. If the same
amount of time, effort and brain work had from the beginning been expended
in trying to create unconsciously in the public a knowledge of, and a desire
for, lyceum attractions, that has been spent in begging said public to buy
tickets, the lyceum would now occupy a more dignified place than it does.
How did the world's greatest actors, musicians and writers gain their popu-
larity— by a personal canvass ? If the life of the lyceum must depend upon a
personal canvass each year for tickets its doom is already in sight. Those
without personality and influence cannot do such work successfully, and those
busy, influential men and women who could do it are not going to continue
subjecting themselves to the rebuff's, to say nothing of the insults, from their
friends and business associates, who begin to class them as professional can-
vassers. When the lyceum public consents to be influenced by gray matter
rather than by shoe leather the most capable men and women will consent to
continue managing lyceum courses.

OTHER DISPLAY ADVERTISING.

A few days before the appearance of each attraction put up the litho-
graphs or window cards of that attraction. On these should be printed —
invariably printed, not stamped or scribbled (the management of the local
lyceum course may be on the very verge of bankruptcy, but to advertise this
fact in " long hand " on the lithographs is unnecessary) — on tliese lithographs
print the date and hour of the performance, the price of single admissions,
also the price of season tickets, thus calling attention to the fact that this
attraction is one of a series or course. Post these lithographs, or cards, as
conspicuously as possible, saving a few to be used on the dsij of the per-
formance.

Until the obnoxious bill-board has been relegated to the happy dumping

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 49

ground, brighten it occasionally with the lithograph of a lyceum attraction —
not one lithograph only, but with twenty of the same one. One lithograph
of the greatest living lecturer, such as the lithographs furnished by the
lyceum bureaus, would stand no show beside the lithographs of dead men
furnished by the manufacturers of certain brands of cigars, soap, clothing and
chewing gum. Arrange eight, ten or twenty lithographs of the same attrac-
tion in a well-proportioned group on a conspicuous bill-board, leaving narrow,
uniform spaces between them, and space in the center of the group for one
large, conspicuous date sheet.

Contemporaneously with this special lithograph work the papers should
contain articles concerning this attraction in particular. State as definitely
as possible what may be expected of it. Do not advertise it as humorous if it
isn't. If it's to be an entertainment don't call it a lecture. Advertise the
fact, not that so-and-so is the greatest lecturer, entertainer or singer on the
American platform, but rather the fact that so-and-so is to lecture, entertain
or sing in your town — and state which he is to do. State this fact so often,
and in so many ways, that the fact that he is worth hearing will come to the
public unconsciously. Mr. Dooley says people will believe anything if you
tell it to them often enough. In all advertising concerning the lyceum course
tell the truth, and in the future fewer tellings will sufiice.

On the day that the attraction is to arrive, place on the street corners,
in front of the hotels, and in as many places as possible, small bulletin boards
on which is pasted a lithograph of the attraction to appear that evening. At
the top of this lithograph should be a " To-]S[ight " bill — a clean, fresh one,
not one that has been doing service every night since a year ago last January.
These bulletin boards should be gathered up late that evening and saved for
the next attraction.

On all menu cards, if the tcMTi is large enough to have hotels with such
luxuries, have printed " So-and-So at the Opera House to-night."

Offer prizes to high school pupils for the best write-ups of the attractions
as they come along. Then publish three or four of these in the papers each
time. This furnishes excellent practice for the pupils, and their productions
will create interest in the community. The manufacturer of a certain brand
of flour recently offered $300.00 in cash prizes to boys and girls for the best
articles on flour and bread. If boys and girls can help interest the public in a
certain brand of flour, by writing articles about it, they can surely help to
popularize a lyceum course.

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

l^ext to the importance of putting up attractive display advertising
before an attraction comes is the importance of tearing it down after that
attraction has gone. An uncleared table spoils the appetite for the next
meal.

There are two things with which all advertising should be filled as full
as possible — truth and originality.

FOKM OF TICKETS.

Concerning season tickets : If the course is to be given in an auditorium
for which regular " house tickets " are not provided, and if seats are to be
reserved for the entire season, the following form is simple :

1906 1907

ACADEMY LYCEUM COURSE

SEASON TICKET

Name of Town

PRICE

ADMIT ONE

Date Name of Attraction

Date Name of Attraction

Date Name of Attraction

Date Name of Attraction

Date Name of Attraction

SECTION ROW

SEAT.

These tickets should be punched as they are presented for admission
at the door. This prevents their being passed out and used again on the same
evening. If the number of attractions on the course is too great to enable
tte names to be printed, as indicated in this form, let the name of the course,
the price, the place for the reserving, etc., occupy one side, and on the other
side print crosswise on the card the names and dates of the attractions, with
the place for the punch mark opposite each.

If seats are to be reserved for each attraction separately, use the same
form as above indicated, except that section, row and seat should be left

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 51

off. This ticket is to be sold as the regular season ticket and exchanged or
punched when the reserving takes place. Have printed as many sets of
reserved seat single admission tickets as there are attractions on the course.
Each of these should contain the name of the course, and each set the name
and date of the attraction for which it is to be used. Single admission tickets
are needed for each attraction any way, and a few hundred extra cost but
little more. Have all these sets printed at the same time, and it is a simple
matter for the printer to change the name and date of the attraction on each
set. Then to get reserved seats the patrons of the course ])resent their season
ticket cards, which are punched, and a single reserved seat ticket issued for
that attraction.

If seats are to be reserved for the entire season the card ticket should
be taken up and a set of the single admission reserved seat tickets issued in
exchange. These tickets should be bound in sets before the reserving begins;
then after season ticket holders have had a chance to reserve, any sets that
remain unsold can be taken apart and the tickets used for the single ticket
sales.

A card ticket, containing as many coupons for reserving as there are
attractions on the course, is rather bunglesome, and is likely to become broken
before the end of the season. To issue to the public tickets with blank spaces
in which the reservations are afterwards to be indicated is unwise. The plan
of issuing a card ticket to be presented and punched, or exchanged for a
reserved seat ticket, is in all cases advisable.

If the auditorium to be used has regular " house tickets," issue a season
ticket card, bind these " house tickets " into sets, and follow the plan already
described. On these " house tickets " should be printed the name and date
of the attraction for which each is to be used.

If to be able to have some method of " checking up " with the man in
the box office is desired, and such is not only wise but business-like, issue as
season tickets a set of coupons bound together, and on each coupon print not
only the name and date of the attraction for which it is to be used, but also
the following : " Present this coupon for admission to the gallery, or
exchange it and — (state the amount), at the box office after — (hour and
date of reserving) for reserved seat ticket. Then in settling with the man in
the box office charge him with the regular single admission price of every
" house ticket " not in the ticket board, just as is done in a regular " box
office settlement," and give him credit on every season ticket coupon he holds

62 WHO'S WHO IN THE LTCEUM.

for the difference between the single admission price of a " house ticket "
and the price of the coupon taken in exchange for that ticket.

EESERVING SEATS,

To find a plan of reserving seats that will please everybody is impossi-
ble. To keep trying is as foolish as to waste time trying to discover per-
petual motion. The method that comes nearer it than any other is this:
Strike upon the least objectionable method you know of and stick to it until
people forget there is any other way of selecting a reserved seat. The regu-
lar patrons of the theater do not continually grumble about the method of
reserving seats. Why? Because the method used at the theater has been
in use so long no one thinks of there being any other way. As long as the
committee remains in the experimental stage, and advertises that fact by
changing methods every year, there will be fault-finding. The fault-finders
all have methods they think are better than those yet tried.

In all matters pertaining to the management of a lyceum course adopt,
or rather adapt, the method that seems best suited to the local conditions and
stick to it year after year, regardless of a few criticisms and complaints.

The most important thing in connection with any method of reserving
seats is that the first man, woman or child in the " line up " shall be able to
secure just the seat he wishes to select. In other words, the reserved seat
plat should not " open " with three, eight or fifteen seats already checked oS.
Unless the theatrical method of " lining up " is followed, that of reserving
in the order indicated by numbers drawn is simple and quite satisfactory.
More explicitly stated, the method is as follows : Advertise that the reserv-
ing will take place at some auditorium; that the doors will be open at a certain
hour, and that the reserving will take place one-half hour later; also, that the
last person to enter the auditorium, provided he gets in before the drawing
takes place, will stand just as good a chance as the first person in. Admit no
one unless he holds at least one season ticket. At the door, as people enter,
take their names and make a record of the number of season tickets they
hold. These season tickets might be taken up to prevent their being passed
out and presented again and an order issued for an equal number of season
reserved seat tickets. When the hour has arrived for reserving, place in a
box as many numbers as there are people present and let them draw, check-
ing off on the list made at the door the name of each person as he draws to
prevent his coming around and drawing again. The reserving is then done in

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 53

the order indicated by the numbers dra\vn. In no case allow any person to
reserve a greater number of seats than the number of tickets he presented
at the door.

Make a large reserved seat plat that can be seen from all over the room,
hang it in a conspicuous place, and indicate on it the reservations as they are
made, thus enabling those waiting to watch the progress. Why not let the
local ingenious manipulator of the stereopticon make a plate by which he
can throw the plat of the auditorium onto a screen and indicate the reserva-
tions. Give season-ticket holders as many advantages as possible in every
way. Allow them to reserve the same seat for the entire season. Give them
two or three days in which to reserve seats before selling any single reserves.
Place the price of season tickets low and the price of single tickets high.
Make, say, half the attractions, if paid for singly, cost the purchaser as much
as the whole course if a season ticket is bought. Make no reduction in the
price of season tickets during the progress of the course. The price of season
tickets varies greatly in different parts of the country, but in any particular
locality it should be governed by the principle that it is better to fill the house
at a certain price than to half fill it at twice the price.

FINAL PEEPARATIONS.

In the organization and management of a lyceum course, choosing the
committee, selecting the attractions, selling the season tickets, and satisfac-
torily reserving the seats, are vital factors. They are factors the working
out of which requires from three to six or eight months' time. And the work
of all these three, six or eight months is at the mercy of one single day. That
day is the day on which the lecturer or company comes. The plans, the
work, the hopes of the committee, the expectations of the audience, fifty or
one hundred and fifty dollars of the people's money and the ambitions of an
artist are often blasted, temporarily at least, just as their full and complete
realization is at hand. Why? Because it requires no effort on the part of
anybody to do it. It's absolutely unintentional, and after it's too late it is
regretted by everybody. It is the result of " quitting " just before the battle
is won. It's usually done by such things as a dark, dingy, dirty, poorly-ven-
tilated auditorium, that is either too hot or too cold, by a sack of peanuts, a
noisy janitor, boisterous ushers, late comers, a row of children, a piano that
is out of tune, poor hotel accommodations, the recital of too many tales of
woe (one's too many) to the artist, failure to meet and greet him on his

54 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

arrival, quibbling over the time of paying him, wearing him out at some
reception, or in showing him the town— these, and those that have in this
list been overlooked, are the things that transform as if by magic, success
into failure.

Why pay an artist one or two hundred dollars for one and one-half
hour's entertainment, and then put him on a stage that's so poorly lighted
that he can't be seen, in an auditorium that's so hot or cold or dirty or poorly
ventilated that the audience could enjoy nothing but going home, and fur-
nish a piano that's out of tune — why do things so inconsistent when even a
few lamps properly arranged would light the stage, a good janitor would
regulate the temperature of the room, and a few dollars in money would tune
the piano and make the stage and auditorium clean?

The auditorium should be well lighted, and the stage should be bril-
liantly lighted; but all lights should be so arranged and shaded that the light
does not shine directly into the eyes of the audience. This is of greatest
importance.

People who have bought tickets and come to see and hear the man on
the platform have just about one and one-half hours in which to get what
they came for. From the way some janitors poke the fire, some ushers
parade up and down the aisles, and some late-comers deliberately crowd into
their seats, one would suppose they had ail winter for it.

Advertise that the performance will begin at a certain time, then begin
just at that time. People soon learn whether or not your advertisements
mean anything. At a concert those who come late should not be seated dur-
ing a number, and in no case until the encore, also, if there be one, has been
given. At a lecture the late comers should be seated in the rear of the room
(future season ticket sales notwithstanding).

If, in placing the seats in the auditorium, they were so arranged that
there is a front row, the committee has a problem to contend with. There
are several things for which this front row might be used. It might ser^^e
as a sort of check room on which to place heavy overcoats, etc. If it happens
to be a bench with a back to it, it might be taken up and placed on the front
edge of the platform, on which to set a lot of lamps as footlights. The onlji
one thing which it should absolutely never be used for is on which to seat a
row of children. If the reason for this is not obvious, ask any one of the
several thousand platform men or women of America for an explanation.

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 55

INTEODUCING THE SPEAKER.

Should the lecturer be introduced to the audience ? Most emphatically,
yes! The introduction should begin about two or three weeks before he
arrives in town, and be continued until the day of his appearance, during
which time his face, his subject, what he has done, and what he may be
expected to do, should be made so familiar to everybody in town that when he
steps out before the audience no further introduction will be necessary.
About one introduction out of every ten, perhaps, puts the speaker and the
audience at ease with each other; the other nine, therefore, had better be
omitted.

When the audience is assembled to hear a certain attraction, should the
next attraction on the course be announced and commented upon? After
spending two or three weeks in a supreme effort to center the attention of a
community upon a certain man, is there a reason on earth — psychological or
otherwise — for trying just at the moment that the attention is at its height
to divert it ? It is poor advertising policy, to say nothing of the discourtesy to
the man in whose presence it is made. The time to announce and comment
upon the next attraction is when it is next — not when it is next but one, and
that one is waiting for a chance to begin, and the audience is anxiously wait-
ing for him to get such a chance. When the guests are seated at your boun-
tiful Thanksgiving table, with the brown, savory turkey so conspicuously in
view, do you keep them waiting five or ten minutes to hear you tell of the
boiled eggs you are going to have next Easter ?

COURTESIES TOWARD TAXENT.

Should the attractions be met at the train? Yes. But the meeting
should not be prolonged much beyond the time necessary in which to reach
the hotel. The object of this meeting is to demonstrate the fact that you
have been looking forward to this day, and that you're glad it has arrived.
On the way to the hotel point out the location of the Post Office, and the
auditorium at which the evening's entertainment is to be given. Don't for-
get to mention the fact to the lecturer, or manager, that you have the money
to pay him, and find out in what form it will be the most acceptable; then pay
him before the entertainment, according to contract, without placing him in
the embarrassing position of having to ask for his fee, or violating his con-
tract with the bureau that booked him by not asking for it. If his arrival is
not until after the banks are closed alwavs have the amount in currency. If

56 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

you expect the best from a. man help to put him at his best. To do this meet
and greet him cordially, talk over the few things necessary, offer to do any-
thing you can for his comfort, and then leave him alone. Do not insist on
his being " entertained." Do not ask him to speak at a club or at the schools
for advertising |)urposes. The best concert bands don't make street parades.
If you want to visit with him take dinner with him at his hotel — at your own
expense. Do not burden him with the recital of all the troubles that have
ever come up in connection with the management of your course. Save these
to tell to some bureau representative. Do not make him feel that his coming
is a burden upon you and the whole town. When a guest comes to your
home to dine with you, you do not spend the time just preceding the dinner in
telling him of the trouble your whole family had in preparing that dinner,
or the expense it was, and of your doubt as to whether it was really paying
you to continue issuing such invitations.

Before the arrival of the attraction, see the clerk or proprietor of the
iiotel, and urge him to assign one of his best and most comfortable rooms to
the man that's coming — which in view of the number of people brought
■during the season by the lyceum course, he ought to be willing to do, unless
it should happen that the bureau has asked him for a " rate," in which case
the best cannot be expected. In making a contract for a course ask the repre-
sentative if it is his bureau's custom to ask the hotels for a " rate." If it is,
add three or four dollars to the contract price of the course and request him
not to do it in your town. Tell him you are trying to convince your people —
the hotel man included — that you are dealing with a prosperous, business-
like concern, and that you don't want any little evidences to the contrary
creeping out.

IF YOU FAIL.

If a course of five numbers, at a cost of five hundred dollars, fails to pay
out, don't expect to do better next year with a course of only three numbers
at two hundred and twenty-five dollars. People don't rush to get aboard a
sinking ship. Do not hope to increase the interest in the course by dropping
it for a year or two. Did any one ever think of closing the schools
and letting the children play on the street, and delve into dime novels
to increase their interest in education? Did a minister ever propose
closing his church to allow his congregation to recuperate spiritually ? Did
a merchant ever consider closing his place of business in order to create a

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 57

demand for his goods ? Did a farmer ever let his farm go to weeds to enricli
it for next year's crop ?

It's more numbers, and a better grade, greater variety, more publicity
and more business-like management that the lyceum courses need, not rest
on the part of the public.

SUPPOETINO THE COMMITTEE.

Just a word to those who patronize lyceum courses. In every city, town
and village there are usually a few — but never very many — capable men
and women who are willing to assume the management of a lyceum course.
Don't be too severe in criticizing them for what they do or don't do. Appre-
ciation is about the only pay they get. Don't hold back their salary too long,
or pay it too grudgingly; they may quit the job and you will be without a
course of any kind. And it's a mighty poor course that's worse than nothing.

If you want to get the most for your money do not go to a lecture,
concert or entertainment in a critical mood. Such a mood affects unfavor-
ably two persons in particular — yourself and the man on the platform, to
say nothing of its chilling influence on those about you. Expect something
good and thus help put the lecturer or artist at his best. If, during the day,
the chairman of the committee should bring the lecturer to your home for a
call you would not receive him with an icy, " please me if you can " stare.
When this same chairman brings this same man before you for an evening's
entertainment, why not receive him just as cordially and courteously as you
did at your home ? Help to put him at his best, and if you want to criticise
his manner, his voice, the cut of his clothes, what he said and the way he said
it, save these criticisms until he has gone — just as you did when he called at
your home.

There is no royal road — ^no short cut — to success in the management of
a, lyceum course. It comes from long-continued, conscientious effort; from
keeping the fundamental principle — mutual benefit — constantly in mind.

The dream of the lyceum course committee, the ultimate goal toward
which all effort is directed should be a beautiful and commodious lyceum
hall, or auditorium, with an endowed lyceum course. But who's going
to build and endow a home for an obnoxious, omnipresent, persistent beggar
— a course of mediocre attractions given " for the benefit of " first one thing
and then another, but which in reality is a permanent benefit to nothing or
nobody — not even to the beggar?

" For unto every one that hath shall be given, but from him that hath
not shall be taken away even that which he hath."

THE INTERNATIONAL LYCEUM ASSOCIATION

In response to a comniiinication in " Talent," signed by Ralph Bing-
ham, and subsequent agitation on the part of Mr. Bingham and several of
his friends, and the hearty co-operation of the Lyceumite, a number of people
who were interested in the Lyceum met in Steinway Hall, Chicago, on the
2d day of September, 1903, to form an organization. The meeting was called
to order by Dr. W. H. Sears, and a temporary organization effected, with
Mr. Ralph Bingham as chairman. The object of the meeting was then
explained by the chairman, and the usual committees appointed for effecting
permanent organization. The name decided upon was the International
Lyceum Association. The objects of the organization, according to the open-
ing remarks by Mr. Bingham, and afterward incorporated in the constitution,
are, to foster and promote social intercourse, and benefit the condition of the
lyceum and its principles in such a manner as shall be determined in accord-
ance with the by-laws.

Three days were spent in the Convention, during which time there was
much pleasant social intercourse, a formal banquet, and an all-star program
in Steinway Hall.

The officers elected for the first year were : President, Ralph Bingham;
Secretary and Treasurer, Edwin L. Barker; Vice-Presidents, Ex-Governor
Robert L Taylor, Robert J. Burdette, S. M. Spedon, Father L. J. Vaughan
and Katherine Eggleston.

SECOND YEAR.

After a busy year the officers presented to the organization a full, attrac-
tive and helpful program of business and entertainment at the Second Annual
Convention, held in Philadelphia, September 6th to 9th. The headquarters
were at Hotel Colonnade. Many of the members from the West came in a
party organized in Chicago, and were met at the Broad Street Station by a
large receiving party of Philadelphia members. At the first business session
the name of Dr. A. A. Willits was proposed for Honorary President for life.
The motion was unanimously carried.

After the first business session the members were received by Mayor
Weaver, who presented the organization with the key to the city. On the

190 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM.

first evening of the Convention the members of the Association were the
guests of the Pen and Pencil (press) Club. During the reception the
Municipal Band, as a special favor from Mayor Weaver, provided the music.

The banquet at the Colonnade, on the second evening, was largely
attended and developed much enthusiasm during the toasts, which were given
up largely to the consideration of lyceum questions.

During the following afternoon the members were guests of the city
at luncheon on board the city police boat " Ashbridge," and enjoyed a trip
down the Delaware River. They were also the guests of Cramp & Son for an
hour at their great shipyards.

The close of the Convention was an all-star program at Association Hall.

One of the most important results of the Convention was the plan to
make the third meeting a Chautauqua, the members furnishing a program.
At this Convention, also, a new Constitution was adopted.

The election of officers during the last session of the Convention resulted
in: President, Paul M. Pearson; Secretary, Edwin L. Barker; Treasurer,
Dr. D. F. Fox; Vice-Presidents, Dr. John Merritte Driver, Lou J. Beau-
champ, Nellie Peck Saunders.

THIRD YEAR.

The third meeting of the Association was held at Elkhart, Ind., in con-
nection with the newly-organized Chautauqua Assembly at that place. The
Association sold the management the program for half of the session. At
this meeting of the Association business sessions were held in the morning,
the members appearing on the Chautauqua program in the afternoon and
evening. The business sessions developed some unusually interesting dis-
cussions on lyceum questions, and the members spent much time on the
Chautauqua grounds in social intercourse. The banquet was the most largely
attended of any year. The membership of the Association had grown dur-
ing the past year, so that the secretary reported nearly twice as many
members.

On the closing day of the Convention the following officers were elected
for the succeeding year : President, Edmund Vance Cooke ; First Vice-Presi-
dent, George R.. Wendling; Second Vice-President, Elias Day; Third Vice-
President, Lou J. Beauchamp; Secretary, Edwin L. Barker; Treasurer,
Edward Amherst Ott.

WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 191

FOUBTH YEAK.

The Convention of the Association for the fourth year was held at Val-
paraiso, Ind., where the members provided the entire Chautauqua program.
Mr. Harry M. Holbrook liad organized the Chautauqua and secured the
program from the Association. The attendance was the largest of any meet-
ing of the Association. The papers and discussions that were so profitable
a feature of the preceding meeting were made an important factor in the
Valparaiso meeting also.

Many informal gatherings were the life of the social meeting of the
organization, though no formal banquet was held. Informal programs were,
too, a feature of the amusement members afforded each other, after the
advertised programs had been given.
