“The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle.”
Response by B. S. Dartt, our first president. “Our
Memorial Authors” (Shakspere, Longfellow, Milton,
Addison and Bryant)—Rev. Alexander McGowan. “The
Chautauqua Work and its Workers Elsewhere”—Rev. A.
S. Morrison. “Higher Culture, Viewed from the Social
Standpoint”—George A. Guernsey.
Rev. S. P. Gates then spoke on the harmony of science and religion,
asserting that there is no gulf that separates religion and science,
nor any conflict where they stand together.
The chairman then announced that the balance of the evening would be
given to social enjoyment, soon after which the members and guests
dispersed.
“The lights are fled,
The garlands dead,
The banquet hall deserted.”
