The following circles of the Class of ’88 have been formed, viz.: “Janes,” Brooklyn, N. Y., sixty-two members; “Vincent,” Wyoming, Iowa, over twenty members; “Washington Avenue,” Milwaukee, Wis., fourteen members. In Collamer, Ohio, there was organized a circle four years ago. It has enjoyed active vitality ever since, and is now doing most efficient work in astronomy. Aroused by the last Chautauqua Assembly, nearly thirty organized a new circle. All are of the Class of ’88, except one of ’82, one of ’83, and five of ’86. The latter includes an old lady in her 81st year, who is not only beautiful in character, but, seemingly, as bright in intellect as in the meridian of life. This circle favors a change in motto; one suggests “Perfect in principle, in practice pure.”
The Florida Chautauqua is now in session at Lake de Funiak, and closes March 9th. The program is varied and interesting. We hope to report a good increase in the Class of ’88 at the close of the Assembly.
Iowa.—I am enrolled in the C. L. S. C. army, “Class of ’88.” Not until the middle of this month (December) was I able to commence my reading. The prescribed course I think grand, and I can but feel grateful for a plan so far reaching, and so full and beneficial in its results. Our class motto is excellent. I am a busy farmer, but I shall make known the advantages of the “Chautauqua University.”
