Topic: Lyceum Movement

	Lyceum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lyceum is the birthplace of Western science and philosophy.
		Aristotle walked in the lyceum's stoae and grounds as he lectured, surrounded by a throng of students, so the philosophical school he founded was called the Peripatetics.
		In Imperial Russia, a Lyceum was one of the following high educational facilities: Demidov Lyceum of Law in Yaroslavl (1801), Alexander Lyceum in Tsarskoye Selo (1810), and Imperial Katkov Lyceum in Moscow (1867).

		Lyceum groups were concerned with the dissemination of information on the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs.

		The purpose of the lyceum movement was self-improvement by lectures and discussions on literary, scientific, and moral topics.
		Lyceums soon spread to all of the New England states, New York, and eventually to the southern and western states.
		Lyceums continued to exist into the twentieth century, although by 1925 they were found for the most part only in small towns, often in combination with musical programs.

	Chautauqua and Lyceum Magicians
		Lyceums were voluntary local associations "for mutual instruction in the sciences, and in useful knowledge generally," and, therefore, were an early form of organized adult education.
		Lyceum booking agents entered the chautauqua field, supplying the same lecturers and other talent who traveled from one community to another.
		Loring Campbell (1905-1979), an outstanding lyceum magician, was a major collector of lyceum and chautauqua circulars.

	Salem Massachusetts - Salem Tales
		It is unlikely that any American movement has permeated the national culture as quickly and thoroughly as the lyceums in the mid-nineteenth century.
		Lyceums were the brainchild of Joshua Holbrook, who borrowed the concept from the Mechanics Institutes he had encountered in England.
		The expressed purpose of the Salem Lyceum Society was to provide "mutual education and rational entertainment" for both its membership and the general public through a biannual course of lectures, debates and dramatic readings.

	The Chautauqua Movement -- The Complete Chautauquan
		Lyceum was a new form of popular education for adults that changed the way America thinks about education.
		Although lyceum had spread across New England states rather rapidly, the movement of lyceum to the West was limited only by transportation.
		And while there are elements of both the lyceum and the camp meeting in chautauquas of the late 19th Century, chautauquas quickly developed into something quite unique, something that collectively changed the course of adult education and the arts and sciences.

		The Millbury lyceum, opened in November 1826, was Branch Number One of the new movement and became the prototype of other lyceums established in succeeding years in neighboring communities.
		With the spread of the movement, Holbrook was encouraged to expand the functions of the lyceum.
		After the war, lectures of the more customary kind were revived, but the lyceum movement was displaced in the closing decades of the century by the commercial lecture bureaus, which more thoroughly exploited the "star" or "name" system and even introduced comic entertainment.

		The bureaus included: James Redpath’s Lyceum Bureau— Boston, MA, James Burton Pond’s Lyceum Bureau (the New York, a branch of the Redpath Lyceum) and The Lyceum Company— Alexandria, Virginia.
		This included the recovery of the Lyceum movement, which had virtually disappeared in America during the Civil War, (but see a letter home from a civil war soldier, to see that lyceums did not disappear entirely) and the emergence of the Chautauqua movement.
		The Chautauqua movement was a widespread phenomenon, involving not only the large cities, as had the lyceums, but the small towns through the Northeast and Midwest.

	Creating Learning Communities
		The first of these is the Lyceum, which was a town-based educational forum beginning in 1826 in Millbury, Massachusetts, spreading to 3000 towns generally east of the Mississippi by 1834, and declining with the approach of the Civil War, a generation later.
		If the lyceum was prosperous or ambitious, the group could pursue more costly options, such as more extensive scientific apparatus, a building of their own, or more frequent out-of-town lecturers, but these were choices that each lyceum dealt with differently.
		The lyceums gradually began to shift in their emphasis away from the most literal and direct forms of mutual education and towards an ever-increasing reliance on outside intellectual expertise, in the form of hired lecturers.

	Lyceums
		Lyceums were a very popular form of adult education that spread across the United States between the 1830s and the Civil War.
		A lyceum might schedule a public debate on a subject of interest to the community, and often members were divided into smaller groups who met to discuss assigned readings.
		A new educational effort was created in the Chautauqua Movement in the decades after the war, but it never reached the level of popularity of the original lyceum movement.

	The Chautauqua Movement -- The Complete Chautauquan
		Lyceum is a term that was borrowed from the name of the garden of the Temple of Apollo Lyceus, a place where Aristotle taught young Athenians.
		Lyceum saw its biggest growth in the years between the early 1840s to the late 1850s.
		But in the South, lyceum never did take off, because it was in the best interest of those in charge to suppress any kind of movement in education that might enable the education of poor whites and slaves and upset the slave-based economy.

	"The Infinitude of the Private Man"
		The American Lyceum movement, just then taking shape, was a loosely-knit assemblage of individual town- and city-based forums for lecturing, debating, and other entertainments of a more or less instructive character: a premodern equivalent to adult education and educational TV.
		The lyceum was an ideal platform for a person of ministerial background (the largest single occupational group of speakers) who had justified that choice of vocation to himself on the grounds of his love of writing and oratory.
		Emerson was unique among successful lyceum orators for his ability to hold an audience even when he was difficult or abstruse, and despite a low-key manner that depended almost wholly for special effects upon his memorable voice.

		The lyceum was not confined to New England.

		Although the lyceum movement did not turn Everyman into a Transcendentalist, it allowed the New England Transcendentalists to connect with a far broader segment of the population than their writings alone reached.

	The Worcester Lyceum - Historic Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In 1826, Josiah Holbrook organized the first American Lyceum near Worcester, MA (Millbury) as "a voluntary association of individuals disposed to improve each other in useful knowledge...for their mutual benefit." The idea of gathering in small groups caught on, and by 1832 there were 3,000 such groups across the nation.
		By the 1840's the Lyceum movement had moved away from its original form of small groups and discussion to a professional lecture circuit on which the likes of Emerson and Thoreau spoke widely.
		The momentum of the movement had largely been spent by the onset of the Civil War, but its legacy was felt in the Chatauqua movement of the 1870's, in the establishment of libraries and museums, and in America's continuing interest in adult education and life long learning.

		The lyceum movement in the early 1800s was another important contributing force to the development of adult education in the United States.
		The Chautauqua movement developed in the late 1800s was an adult education pioneer effort that eventually affected small towns and rural areas throughout the United States.
