The Lyceum Club of Dallas, Texas, United States, established by the city’s middle-class female establishment in 1931, promoted knowledge and comprehension of literature, music, art, drama, and later politics and international relations among women.
[1] Holding a steady membership of 45-75 women, the Dallas Lyceum club attracted notable individuals of the time, including musicians, authors, and government figures.
[1][note 1] The elected officials led the group using increasingly individual modes of leadership with each passing year.
This was due to the Creole background of the current president, who chose to focus the year’s activities on Creole-influences in the humanities.
Thus, throughout the decades, the Lyceum Club continued to achieve its original goal to cultivate creativity and understanding of all variations of arts and literature through its bi-monthly meetings.
