any other moral and religious purpose not
inconsistent therewith." We note that the old name Fair Point was still
used to designate the place of the Assembly. But it was for the last
time; with the next year's program a new name will appear.

One of the first acts of the new Board was to purchase a large addition
to the camp-meeting ground on its eastern border, and to lay out streets
upon it. This section included the campus and site of the buildings
that now adorn the College Hill. Some readers may inquire how the
streets of the Assembly received their names. During the Camp Meeting
period, the streets were named after Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church--Simpson Avenue, Janes Avenue, Merrill Avenue, and so on. Under
the Assembly regime a few more bishops were thus remembered; the road
winding around from Palestine Park to the land-gate on the public
highway was called Palestine Avenue; Vincent Avenue ran straight up the
hill past the old Dining Hall, Miller Avenue parallel with it on the
west; and other streets later were named after prominent Chautauqua
leaders. Wythe the first Secretary, Root, the first Vice-President,
Massey, a family from Canada making liberal contributions, Miss Kimball,
the efficient Executive Secretary of the Reading Circle, and a few other
names in Chautauqua's annals. The visitor to the present-day Chautauqua
smiles as he reads one of the earliest enactments of the new Board, a
resolution to instruct the Superintendent of Grounds "to warn the person
selling tobacco on the grounds that he is engaged in an unlawful
occupation." We hasten to add that this anti-tobacco regulation is no
longer in operation.

The reader of this chapter perceives that the centennial year marked
notable advancements at Chautauqua: a lengthened and broadened program,
the establishing of a newspaper, the beginning of the daily Children's
Meeting with a course of Bible study for the young, the organizing of a
definite course for the training of Sunday School teachers, the
incorporation of the Assembly with a full Board of Trustees, with the
transfer of the property from the former camp-meeting proprietorship,
and a purchase of ground doubling the extent of its territory.
