Histórico
The Forum, originally established as the Ethical Culture Club in Brookings, South Dakota, in January 1906, began as a Sunday gathering offering a liberal theological alternative to traditional church attendance. On October 14, 1910, the organization was renamed The Forum and transitioned into a space for open discussions on a wide range of topics, such as child labor laws, the establishment of a public library, the promotion of a league to enforce peace, and the adoption of metric measures. Several discussions, such as those advocating for a public library, led to actionable outcomes that benefitted the community.
The Forum attracted members from both the town and the college, with most members affiliated with the college. According to historian William Powers, the group included professionals from diverse fields, including clergy. Membership was limited to men, and all members were expected to contribute by presenting a paper.
The organization was governed by an executive committee comprising a president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer, supported by two standing committees for programs and membership. This governance structure facilitated the club’s mission of fostering intellectual engagement and community-driven initiatives.
