The Sonntagskreis group
The Sonntagskreis was founded in the autumn of 1915 by
Ernö Lörsi, Mihály (Michael) Polányi, László Radványi, Emma Ritoók, Anna Schlamadinger, Ervin Šinko, Vilmos Szilasi, Károly Tolnay (Charles de Tolnay) and János (Johannes) Wilde.[3]: 97 [4] Admission to the group required the assent of all existing members; members could bring guests to meetings.[5] The group generally met on Sunday afternoons at Balázs's flat, and discussed literature and philosophy.[3]: 97 [6]
The Free School of Humanist Studies
In the spring of 1917 members of the group founded the Szellemi Tudományok Szabad Iskolájána, or "Free School of Humanist Studies", which for two semesters in 1917 and 1918 organised lectures in a school building in Budapest.[3]: 97 Guest lecturers included Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály and Ervin Szabó.[7]
