The Ethical Society, a liberal religious community, has emphasized humanistic principles and social service over particular religious dogmas, rituals, and traditions. Members from all religious backgrounds have attended its Sunday meetings, schools, young people's organizations and adult discussion groups. The Society has organized speakers on public issues to address the membership at its meeting hall at 9001 Clayton Road. Many local civic leaders have belonged to the Society, including Alexander Langsdorf, one of the founders of the Committee for Nuclear Information, peace sociologist Theodore Lentz, anti-nuclear activist Kay Drey and environmentalist Barry Commoner.
Felix Adler (1851-1933) founded the Society for Ethical Culture in New York City in 1876. Born in Germany, Adler came with his parents to America in 1857 when Temple Emanu-El appointed his father, Dr. Samuel Adler, as rabbi. Early experiences with his parents helping the poor in New York's tenements, his marriage in 1880 to Helen Goldmark, who actively participated in community service, and his exposure to Immanuel Kant and socialism at Columbia College helped lead Adler to develop a philosophy of ethics and social reform.
After Adler completed his doctorate in Semitica at Heidelberg in March 1873, Cornell University appointed him to a non-resident lectureship in Hebrew and Oriental Literature. On return weekend trips to New York, Adler's informal meetings with friends developed into the Society for Ethical Culture, formally established with approximately one hundred members on May 15, 1876. The Society began a "Workingman's School" and a kindergarten to teach ethical values and religious fellowship that did not depend on dogma or theological creed.
Adler unsuccessfully attempted to organize a similar group in St. Louis in June 1883. The organization dissolved shortly thereafter due to Adler's philosophical differences with the atheism of its leadership. Adler did organize an Ethical Society in Chicago and appointed William Salter (1853-1931), a former Unitarian minister, as lecturer. Another former Unitarian, S. Burns Weston (1855-1936), helped organize the Society for Ethical Culture in Philadelphia in 1885.
In April 1886, Weston invited Walter L. Sheldon (1858-1907) to give a lecture series on the aims of the Ethical Society to an audience of fifty people in St. Louis. Weston had met Sheldon four years earlier while studying philosophy in Berlin. After the lecture series, supporters of the movement founded the Society for Ethical Culture of St. Louis. Felix Adler provided the new society's opening address. Upon the group's invitation, Walter Sheldon became the lecturer and leader of the St. Louis society in November 1886. He remained in that position until his death in June 1907.
Sheldon was raised in Vermont and received his undergraduate education at Middlebury College and Princeton. He enrolled in October 1881 at the University of Berlin where S. Burns Weston introduced him to the Ethical Movement. Sheldon returned to New York with Weston in 1883 and began work with the Ethical Society as an editor and director of the Young Men's Union. After his appointment to the St. Louis Society, Sheldon lectured at the Pickwick Theatre on Washington Avenue until a permanent residence for the Society was established at the original St. Louis Art Museum's Memorial Hall on 19th and Locust.
The St. Louis society adopted a constitution and bylaws at a meeting chaired by Mr. James Taussig in November 1886. It incorporated under the name "Society for Ethical Culture in St. Louis" on May 14, 1887. The Society formally changed its name to the popularly used "Ethical Society of St. Louis" in August 1896.
In addition to Sunday lecture series and services, the Ethical Society organized clubs and classes to discuss politics and literature from an ethical standpoint. In 1891 it founded the Greek Ethics Club, a women's group directed by Walter Sheldon in the study of Greek and World literature. The Political Science Club was founded in 1892 to arrange speaking engagements by political leaders, scholars and local citizens. In January 1901, the Society founded the "Colored People's Self-Improvement Federation" which organized an annual course of lectures for blacks. Blacks were excluded from the Society's regular programs.
In March 1888 the Society opened free reading rooms for wage earners on the second floor of a dairy located on Franklin Avenue. It also established a kindergarten for children under six years old directed by its Ladies Philanthropic Club under the leadership of Society member Martha Fischel. In December 1888 the Society created the Domestic Economy School to teach homemaking skills to working class women for personal use and self-reliance, not as training for employment.
As the practical philanthropies of the Society grew, it rented a building on 18th and Washington and opened a "Self-Culture Hall," or free community school for working people. The Self-Culture Hall offered lecture programs for working women on Thursday evenings, another lecture series on Friday, a variety of social activities including concerts and excursions, and provided reading rooms for use by men on evenings and Sundays. The Society incorporated a separate Self-Culture Association in June 1893 which bought the rental property three years later.
Walter Sheldon hired E.N. Plank as assistant lecturer and assigned him to direct the work of the hall. Plank was later succeeded by the Ethical Society's Sunday School superintendent W. H. Lighty. Roger Baldwin, who later became president of the American Civil Liberties Union, also served as a director of the Self-Culture Hall. The Association opened a second Self-Culture Hall in South St. Louis in 1895. Several other halls were opened and closed in St. Louis neighborhoods as community interests dictated. The Self-Culture Hall was subsumed by St. Louis' Neighborhood Association on North 21st Street in 1911.
Sheldon led the Self-Culture Association until the fall of 1905, thereafter remaining as an ex-officio board member while continuing his work as lecturer and leader of the Society. In addition to his Sunday lectures, Sheldon published addresses and pamphlets on ethical culture and wrote several books: An Ethical Sunday School (New York: 1900); Lessons in the Study of Habits (Chicago: 1903); A Study of the Divine Comedy of Dante (Philadelphia: 1905); and Summer Greetings From Japan (St. Louis: 1908). After a nine-month illness, Walter Sheldon died in June 1907 of "a complications of diseases caused by overwork" according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Shortly after his death, Sheldon's widow, Anna Sheldon contributed an endowment to the Society for the construction of a permanent office on Washington Boulevard. With matching funds raised from its membership, the Society built and moved into the new facility, named the Sheldon Memorial, in 1912.
Percival Chubb replaced Sheldon as the leader of the Ethical Society in 1911. Born in Devonshire, England in 1860, Chubb received his education in the English Civil Service and served for ten years on the Local Government Board of London. Chubb became a charter member of the Ethical Society of London. He came to America in 1889 and worked actively with Felix Adler and the New York Society.
After his appointment as leader of the St. Louis Society, Chubb revived the Greek Ethics Club, which had lanquished after Sheldon's death. The group shifted its focus to the study of fiction, poetry and essays and was renamed the Contemporary Literature Circle. Chubb also led the society in pacifist resistance to World War I. In June 1916 he organized an anti-war demonstration at the St. Louis City Hall; in January 1917 the Society hosted a rally by the National League to Enforce Peace. After the war began, however, the Society contributed to relief efforts, encouraged the purchase of liberty bonds and otherwise patriotically supported American involvement in the war.
In 1913, Chubb served on the executive committee of the St. Louis Federation for Good Citizenship, a group that distributed information on public office holders and political candidates. In 1915 and 1916, he directed a city flag design competition for the St. Louis Pageant Association. During the Depression, Chubb spoke against disregard of Prohibition and was critical of the press and the educational system. He also chaired the League for Independent Political Action in the 1930s. Chubb's book, On The Religious Frontier: From An Outpost of Ethical Religion, was published in 1931.
Chubb retired in 1933. He was replaced by J. Hutton Hynd who had also been active in the London society. Hynd became permanent leader in February 1933 and remained in that position until 1950. J. F. Hornback became the Society's leader in September 1951. Hornback joined the Chicago Ethical Society in 1941, served as leader-in-training with the New York and Brooklyn Societies from 1942 until 1944, and was appointed leader of the Westchester County Ethical Society in 1947.
Under Hornback's leadership, the Society moved from its location at the Sheldon Memorial in 1964 to its current facility on Clayton Road, a site considered a local architectural landmark. The Society continued to use the Sheldon Memorial for chamber music concerts for the next ten years. Subsequent owners have continued to use the building, noted for its acoustics, to present concerts.
In 1983 Hornback submitted his dissertation, The Philosophic Sources and Sanctions of the Founders of the Ethical Society to Columbia University. Hornback retired as director of the Society in November 1984 and was replaced by his assistant, John Hoad.
