http://lyceumproject.com/BaltimoreLyceum/bmdMain.html . David O'Donaghue, founder of the Lyceum Project and neighbor of ours, will be speaking this Sunday at the Baltimore Ethical Society at 10:30 AM. Here is the description for his talk: Title: American Idealism at its Best: The Lyceum Movement, 1830-1860 By David O'Donaghue, Psy.D. Description: The Democratic system requires both an educated populace and public forums in which to grapple with issues. David O’Donaghue, the founder and director of the Baltimore Lyceum, will explore how the Lyceum Movement met these objectives through the establishment of local educational centers, sponsoring such speakers as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and Nathaniel Hawthorne on lecture circuits around the country. He will also tell us about his experience in continuing this tradition by re-establishing lyceums in the mountains of North Carolina, in New Orleans and now in Baltimore. David O'Donaghue, Psy.D. spent the first 15 years of his working life as a psychologist. He then chose to return to school to do doctoral work in philosophy, concentrating on the influence of German philosophy on transcendentalism and adult education. David is the founder and director of the Baltimore Lyceum. Where: Baltimore Ethical Society, 306 W. Franklin St. in the Old Congress Hotel When: Sunday, 3/23, 10:30 AM I hope to see some of you there.
