Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the history of the education in this cloistered community, both spiritual and cultural, offered at the Chautauqua Institution in NY State for over 125 years. The Chautauqua Institution, located on Chautauqua Lake in southwestern New York State, is both a cloistered community and a world-renowned educational establishment. Founded in 1874 as a summer camp for Methodist Sunday school teachers, Chautauqua is synonymous with the ideas of spiritual growth, educational study, and intellectual stimulation in conjunction with recreation in an outdoor setting. For over 125 years, Chautauqua has remained an educational and cultural mecca for the common man. Chautauqua Institution, 1874-1974 is a compendium of Chautauqua's growth from its inception at Fair Point to its centennial celebrations. Each chapter's brief introduction acquaints the reader with historic highlights followed by pages of fascinating facts and intriguing images, ranging from rudimentary tents to the grande dame of hotels, from Victorian cottages to Greek-pillared halls. This array of architecture forms the backdrop for countless individuals who were responsible for bringing the founders' vision to fruition and who were the backbone of the Chautauqua Movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Chautauqua The material in this little book is the outgrowth of ten years natural history study and teaching in the Chautauqua region. The material is assembled in this form with the hope that it may be useful to the increasing number of nature-students who are actively interested in the rich and beautiful natural background of Chautauqua. The subject-matter is not designed to take the place of that found in the standard reference books; it is suggestive rather than scientifically exhaustive. In the various lists, for example, only the common and fairly common forms are usually included; rare and adventitious species, although often of extreme scientific interest, are not of particular significance to the beginner in natural history. It is significant that natural history has always been an integral part of the Chautauqua ideal. Wherever people may live, - amidst or far remote from the centers of culture, - Nature is omnipresent as the universal background of their lives. Natural history is the most cosmopolitan of the cultural elements; it is not nationalized, like literature, nor racial, like the languages, nor sectarianized, as is theology, nor provincialized, as is history. The natural history of any locality, no matter how apparently mediocre and humble, is a clean-cut epitome of the outstanding laws of the universe. This book is based upon the fundamental proposition of the nature-study idea, namely, that happiness may be derived from an intimate and sympathetic knowledge of the common things of our out-of-doors.
