The morning lectures are a signature of Chautauqua’s program. Weekdays at 10:45 a.m., the stage of the 5,000-seat Amphitheater
becomes the platform for distinguished scientists, authors, educators and experts in such fields as national and international affairs, arts
and humanities, business, and the environment. Through the years, Chautauqua has committed itself to civil, civic dialogue on matters
that shape our world. Susan B. Anthony argued here for women’s suffrage in 1892 and Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his "I Hate War" speech
from the same stage in 1936. Margaret Mead, Amelia Earhart, Thurgood Marshall, Freeman Dyson, Jane Goodall, Sandra Day O’Connor,
Kurt Vonnegut and Oscar Arias are among the speakers who have shared their experiences, knowledge and vision at Chautauqua.

partnership with CARE and the Global Health
Council, we will examine what we know about global
health, what we are learning, and to whose benefit.
