Lyceum movement

The Lyceum Magazine, Chicago. The magazine worked toward the movement's goals of improving society by its advertisements of event choices for members to sponsor for their communities.

The lyceum movement was a loose collection of adult education programs that flourished in the mid-19th century in the United States, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest, that were inspired by the classical Lyceum.[1] Some of these organizations lasted until the early 20th century.
