Elyria celebrates a rich history of women’s literary clubs headlined by the Fortnightly established in 1880. The eight clubs, including the Four O Clock, Ninety Five, Culture, and later the ’04 Literary and Research clubs, fostered education, poetry, art, and debate through programs, research duties, and periodic reviews.
In reading yearbooks and minutes of the Research Club since 1905, programs centered on timely topics with current events at roll call. Early years featured critics and parliamentary drill, later shifting to reviews. Topics included states, cities, rivers, resources, personalities, Shakespeare, and writers, with social events and unique programs. Next year will mark the club’s 50th anniversary with planned celebrations.
The 1904Ox Eye Daisy flower and yellow brown colors were kept as club symbols. The motto shifted from Let all things be done decently and in order to Constantly striving to make our best better. On December 10 1906 the club hosted husbands at a G A R Hall dinner with program and dancing costing 24 dollars 88 cents, considered extravagant at the time.
The Elyria Great Books Discussion Group, active over four years, invites adults to read and discuss idea-rich works by Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, Milton, Shakespeare, Kant, and more. Led by Rev. Thomas Curtis, meetings meet twice monthly at the First Congregational Church, sponsored by the Elyria Library and local groups.
