Humanities Forum
sets Chautauqua
for Rehoboth
Chautauqua is old-fashioned,
family-oriented fun, and the
Delaware Humanities Forum will
again present this entertaining
event, held this year in southern
Delaware.
Scholar-actors will spin their
tales June 25 through June 28 at
Rehoboth Elementary School in
Rehoboth Beach.
George Frein, Anne Howard,
Charles Pace, Carrol Peterson
and Doug Watson, who presented
Great American Humorists in
Brandywine Park in 1998 and
American Writers of the Guilded
Age last year, will this year por-
tray Great American Humorists -
Mark Twain, Will Rogers,
Langston Hughes, Dorothy Park-
er and James Thurber.
The scholars, all college pro-
fessors in real life, will conduct
seminars for children and adults
during the day. The evening pro-
grams will open with local enter-
tainment. All programs will be
free.
The Chautauquas are modeled
on the summer training camps
that started in the New York re-
gion of the same name in the ear-
ly 19th century.
By the 20th century, they had
evolved to tent shows that carried
culture through the midwest.
Chautauquas faded by the
1930s, but the North Dakota Hu-
manities Council revived the mix
of entertainment and education in
1978.

Benjamin MacGregor Daland of Harbeson, left, and Rusty
"Harry" Wright of Rehoboth Beach hoist a toast of Glenfid-
dich during the first Tartan Day celebration held at Mulli-
gan's in Rehoboth Beach on Thursday, April 6. They had
hoped to have a bagpiper, but he performed at the Mulligan's
in Ocean City instead..Tartan Day was made an official ob-
servance for those Americans of Scottish descent through a
resulotion passed by the U.S. Senate in 1998. MaGregor has
been trying to stir up interest in the celebration from fellow
Scots, noting that The Declaration of Arbroath, the Scottish
Declaration of Independence, was signed on April 6, 1320 and
was a model for our own Declaration of Independence. Da-
land came to the festivities in official Scottish garb, including
his tam, MacGregor clan badge and kilt, while Wright sport-
ed a plaid hat and tie. According to the 1990 census there are
at least 26 million people of Scot descent Hying in this coun-
