1977 – Morris Pratt Institute of Spiritualism Moves to Waukesha
On this date the Morris Pratt Insititute, dedicated to the study of Spiritualism and Mediumship, moved from Whitewater to Waukesha. Founded in 1888 and incorporated in 1901, it was one of the few institutes in the world that instructed spiritualists. These were people “who believe as the basis of his or her religion, in the communication between this and the Spirit World by means of mediumship and who endeavors to mould his or her character and conduct in accordance with the highest teachings derived from such communication.” [Source: Morris Pratt Institute]
An affront to both traditional theology and secular thinking, the loss of the private Pratt Institute meant that the core of nutty ideas for the city would no longer be found in the leaders of a private institution, but mostly thereafter among the proposals from leaders and hangers-on of our public ones.
