In 1908 she helped organize the remarkable Open Forum lecture movement, a locally planned, non-partisan, non-sectarian initiative in public learning which brought a wide range of people together to discuss the vital concerns and intellectual advances of the day and to consider the core beliefs and values in their lives.
