This organization aims to promote habits of reading and study in nature, art,
science, and in secular and sacred literature, in connection with the routine of daily
life (especially among those whose educational advantages have been limited), so as
to secure to them the college student's general outlook upon the world and life, and
to develop the habit of close, connected, persistent thinking.
METHODS.
It proposes to encourage individual study in lines and by text-books which shall be
indicated; by local circles for mutual help and encouragement in such studies; by
summer courses of lectures and "students' sessions" at Chautauqua, and by written
reports and examinations.
