SUMMARY

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.Crocker, Kathleen is the author of 'Chautauqua Institution 1874-1974' with ISBN 9780738505459 and ISBN 0738505455.
