Many of the periodicals listed here were part of a larger gift by the late Leo Rosencrans, a former Superintendent for the
Redpath Chautauqua in the late 1920's. These periodicals serve as primary sources for the Lyceum and Chautauqua movements
as well as expressing the cultural dynamics of education and leisure at the turn of the century, with middle and upper-middle
class American views of World War I, politics, temperance, women's rights, and race relations. Additionally, they can be viewed
as cultural artifacts with descriptive illustrations serving as visual evidence of major graphic arts, styles, dominant clothing
trends, prevalent architectural motifs, and the overall physical environs of America at the time.
