A rich heritage of spirited lecture and debate nearly ended during the [[CIVIL WAR]]. Only four literary notices appeared in the ''Herald'' from December 16, 1863, to within weeks of the end of the war.

			In 1876 there were three literary clubs--American, English, and Shakespearean. Each held separate meetings and "were doing a great deal of good in relieving the minds of the young women from the giddy frivolities of the gay and festive world." The writers of the ''Dubuque Herald'' continued:

			The branches should extend, so as to enfold within
			an outer circle at least the wives and daughters of
			of the impeccable artisan whose impecuniosity (sic)
			prevents them from acquiring those advantages vouch-
			safe to the more fortunate. (1)
