Students of the “Chautauqua Teachers’ Retreat,” and of the “School of Languages,” are requested to be careful not to engage rooms and board for the season without consulting the authorities at Chautauqua. Some cottages make insufficient provisions of furniture, bedding, etc., and the management is determined to protect all students against imposition.
The Xth year of the Chautauqua Assembly will open in a storm of enthusiasm on Tuesday evening, August 7, 1883.
The courses of lectures—literary and scientific—during the “Teachers’ Retreat,” July 14 to August 2, and especially the “Ideal Summer Trip Beyond the Sea,” will attract the people from all parts of the lake and vicinity. Tickets admitting to the “C. T. R.,” $4. This will include the “Foreign Tourists’ Conference,” as well as the stereopticon exhibitions.
The following letter, addressed to Dr. Vincent, explains why Dr. Fairbairn, of England, will not be at Chautauqua the coming season:
Airedale College, Bradford, Eng.,}
26 February, 1883.}
My Dear Sir—Your letter just received. I deeply regret that the postponement of my lectures should so distress and inconvenience you, but am pleased to find that you are so kind as to be willing to comply with my request. It will be in every respect better and more suitable for me to come in the summer of 1884, and this I at once and frankly undertake to do. Please then to arrange according to letter of the 13th ult., the postponement, and believe me,
Yours, very sincerely, A. M. Fairbairn.
