WHO'S WHO, AND WHAT, AT
CHAUTAUQUA
(By Isabel Bozmanl

A most cordial invitation is ex-
tended to old and new friends, to
come to Chautauqua this summer
it's 52nd session. A 50th ami
versary is big milestone in the life
of any institution, and the future is
faced with higher hopes and aspira-
tons than at any time in it's his
tory. Please read few quotations
from great men and the best news
papers, of what the place means:
The New York Times says, "Chau-
tauqua is the heightened shadow of
two men who stood on the shore of
Lake Chautauqua so years ago
Dr. John Vincent, the preacher who
became bishop, and Lewis Miller,
the maker of moving machines and
reapers. The Chautauqua idea was
originated and developed by these
two men in mutual understanding. !"
Dr. George w. Gerwig of the
Pittsburgh schools writes: Zone
may never quite reach heaven, but
