The Lyceum Movement Chris Jahoda

What is a Lyceum? The Lyceum is an institution for popular education providing discussions, lectures, concerts, etc. An example would be Aristotle’s Lyceum.

What is Aristotle’s Lyceum? At age 50, Aristotle moved to Athens and purchased a group of buildings and gardens and established a school of higher education. The school became famous for it’s Philosophy and Natural Sciences. The school was dedicated to the God Apollo Lyceus.

What is the Lyceum Movement? The Lyceum Movement was the upbringing of adult education in the 19th century, before and after the Civil War. Notable contributions to adult students: Lectures Dramatic Performances Debates

When did the first “American” Lyceum appear? Josiah Holbrook organized the first lyceum society in November 1826 in Millbury Massachusetts. Within a year 12 new lyceums were founded. From then on it grew until the late 19th century.

Who is Josiah Holbrook? Josiah Holbrook was born in 1788 and died in 1854. He was an American educator and experimented with different schools where there was farming, manual training and formal instruction. This was known an Agricultural Seminary. Afterwards he continued his conquest to create a popular school of higher education with the Lyceum Movement.

When did it reach it’s peak? The Lyceum Movement reached it’s peak during the Antebellum era. This was the time preceding the Civil War and went from 1789-1849.

Who supported the Lyceum Movement? The Lyceum was mainly supported by well educated people. This would include writers, speakers, etc…

Who were some Transcendentalists to endorse it? A couple Transcendentalists to endorse the Lyceum were Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.

Who were other people to endorse Some other people to endorse were popular figures such as Susan B Anthony – Civil Rights leader (19th century). Elizabeth Cady Stanton – Social activist, abolitionist, important to early women’s rights movement. Victoria Woodhull – Suffragist, leader of women’s suffrage movement. Anna Dickinson – Orator and lecturer, advocate of abolition of slavery and women’s suffrage movement. Mark Twain – Humorist and novelist. William Lloyd Garrison – Abolitionist, journalist, voluntaryist (free market anarchist), and social reformer. and… Abraham Lincoln -16th President of the United States

What happened after the Civil War? After the Civil War, lyceums became venues in which travelling entertainers would perform. Two examples are Vaudevilles and Minstrel shows.

What is a Vaudeville? What did it branch off of? Completely unrelated acts combined into one show Acts included: Musician Dancers Comedians Trained Animals Magicians And many more It branched off Minstrel Shows.

What is a Minstrel Show? What is Blackface? Minstrel shows were a variety of acts such as Comic Skits, dancing, music, etc… It was performed by people in “Blackface”. Blackface is the use of makeup on a white entertainer to make themselves look African American. Today Blackface is associated with racism and rightfully so considering it’s stereotypical depiction of African Americans. Although Blackface is no longer in the United States, it still exists in other parts of the world.

Conclusion The Lyceum movement was the formation of adult education to help people understand and appreciate the arts, such as Literature . Famous Romantics endorse the idea and even gave speeches throughout the country. Without the Lyceum Movement today, our culture wouldn’t be the same. We would probably be uneducated in subjects such as music, art, literature, entertainment, etc… Without it, we would not be the country we are today.
