I have thus described the “Upper Chautauqua.” By reason of the action of the Board of Managers, elsewhere reported, the plan of gradation is slightly changed from that laid down in the previous article on the “Upper Chautauqua,” and the following successive steps are found in the scheme of the Chautauqua University: 1. The ASSEMBLY, including the summer meetings, the “Platform,” “the American Church Sunday-school Normal Course,” the “School of Languages,” and the “Teachers’ Retreat.” 2. The CIRCLE, embracing the “C. L. S. C.” 3. The “INNER CIRCLE,” to which they belong who, having seven seals on their diploma, are members of the “League of the Round-Table.” 4. The “UNIVERSITY CIRCLE,” with its “School of Liberal Arts,” and the “School of Theology.” NEW HAVEN, CONN., February 6, 1885. OUTLINE OF REQUIRED READINGS.
