Memories of Tent Chautauqua

The Friends of the University Libraries will be celebrating a third Chautauqua next spring. Some of you may have memories of tent chautauqua events in your youth and the Editors of Books at Iowa would like to feature your memories in an upcoming issue.

This is an official invitation asking you to submit a short reflection on your experience at a tent chautauqua. Please send your work (typed if possible but not necessary) by January 15, 1995, to Bob McCown, Special Collections, University of Iowa Libraries, Iowa City, Iowa 52242.
