the organ of the C. Y. F. R. U. Dr. Flood established _The Youth's C. L.
S. C. Paper_ for boys and girls. It was an illustrated magazine, but
only twelve numbers were published, as the field for periodical
literature for young people was already well covered. "The Chautauqua
Foreign Tour," a series of illustrated lectures on the British Isles,
was conducted this year by Rev. Jesse Bowman Young, Professor H. H.
Ragan, and Mr. George Makepeace Towle. Music was abundant and varied
this season, the choir being led by Professors Sherwin and Case in turn;
concerts by a remarkable quartet, the Meigs Sisters; the delightful
singers of southern plantation and revival songs, the Tennesseans; the
Yale College Glee Club; Miss Belle McClintock, Mrs. J. C. Hull, Mr. E.
O. Excell, and Miss Tuthill, soloists. Dr. Charles J. Little gave a
course of lectures on English literature; Dr. Henson, Miss Susan Hayes
Ward, Dr. J. W. Butler of Mexico, and Dr. S. S. Smith of Minnesota were
among the lecturers. We heard Ram Chandra Bose and Dennis Osborne of

"Company D, the Die-no-more's," given on Grand Army Day to a great
concourse of old soldiers.

On Saturday, August 23d, a reception was given to the Governor of
Pennsylvania, Hon. Robert E. Pattison. Friday, August 15th, was observed
as the decennial anniversary of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
I find on the program of that year a series of colloquies named "The
Socratic Academy," conducted by Dr. H. H. Moore. I know not what
subjects they discussed, nor how they discussed them, but I remember Dr.
Moore as one able to shed light on any subject that he chose to present.
As I read the program of any one of those years at Chautauqua, I realize
how utterly inadequate must be any sketch like the above to bring it
before a reader.

By this time three classes of the C. L. S. C. had been graduated, '82,
'83, and '84. Four more classes were pursuing the course, so that C. L.
S. C. members present at Chautauqua might now be counted by the
thousand. There was a strong class-spirit. Each class had its name, its
motto, its badge, and its banner, and ribbon badges were fluttering
everywhere. Every day came announcements f
