| Summary |
"This book contains minutes, business, order of discussion/debates of the proceedings of the Lyceum. The proceedings of the Naperville Lyceum is a journal of weekly meetings held from 1836-1843 by Naperville's earliest citizens. Members of the Lyceum, which met in several locations in Naperville shortly after the town was founded in 1831, gathered to debate important issues of the era and also held philosophical discussions. The minutes of Naperville's Lyceum can be compared to other lyceums of the era, which evolved in the mid-1800s throughout the East and Midwest, though rarely documented in one hand-written manuscript as viewed here. Topics include religion, art, culture, politics, economic, morality and culinary questions. Many early Naperville family names are included in this volume."--From the Naperville Heritage Society. |
