:, DR.. Edward Waldo Emerson, who will de-
liver the annual Grafton before the Phi sta
only surviving son of Ralph Waldo Emerson
Aside from the interest attaching to him as
the son of parent SO illustrious, DR.. Emer-
son is In himself a noteworthy figure. He was
bred from infancy in the Concord atmosphere,
having in childhood as everyday companion
hawthorne, Thoreau and the Alcotts. He
graduated at Harvard in 1856. and eally
showed something OF the genius and refine
ment to be expected from him. He chose
medicine for his profession. and has had in
that useful and honorable career
Like Oliver Wendell Holmes, the friend
OF his father and himself, strong literary
bent has swayed him from tie first. Whle
pussy WIN MS patients he has found time for
both prose and poetry. His most elaborate
works are his excellent book on his fathers
home life, Emerson at Concord" and his
edition of the correspondence between his
father and John Sterling A year ago he gave
the Phi Beta Kappa poem at Harvard te-
fore a distinguished audience.
Among Dr. Emerson's contributions to the
Atlantic Monthly is an account Of the con-
nection of his maternal uncle FIR. G. T.
Jackson, with the discovery of ether. Whether
or not the chief credit CT this most important
discovery of modern medicine belongs to Dr.
jackson or DR.. Morton, Dr. Emerson has put
the case for his uncle with great clearness
and force and in the best temper. The bro.d
range of his sympathies is shown in the fact
that besides his interest in medicine and
literature, he has been for some years an
earnest supporter of the Museum OF Fine Arts
in Boston, helping effectively toward winning
for that famous school the prestige which it
enjoys.
DR.. Emerson bears marked resemb- arc
to his father, and holds a similar place in
the hearts of his Concord townsnlen.
The subject of his Grafton on Wednesday
evening is . Soldier and Scholar The meet
