Title	Antioch College Chautauqua Program
Subject	Arts and Entertainment Education Chautauquas Universities and colleges Tents
Place	Yellow Springs (Ohio) Greene County (Ohio)
Description	This program for the 1907 Antioch College Chautauqua provides a schedule of events and ticket prices. The events included lectures, music, and entertainment. Season tickets could be purchased for two dollars. The Chautauqua was held from June 21 to June 30 at the "Famous Neff Grounds" in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The fifteen-page program is 4.5" x 3" (11.43 x 7.62 cm). Under President Simeon Fess, Antioch College opened its summer term with a popular Chautauqua, drawing as many as 20,000 spectators in a single day. The events were held in hopes of increasing the school's revenues. Although the annual event did little for the college's finances, it brought in students and was a vehicle for Fess's political career. Chautauquas featured famous lecturers, musical entertainment, and performances of Shakespearean plays.
