BOSTON CELEBRATING
 EMERSON'S CENTENNIAL

Boston, May 2S.-This city. the birthplace of Ralph Waldo Emerson; Harvard university, his alma mater; and old Concord the home of his mature years, are all in a state of intellectual ex- cltement this morning over the much her aided Emerson centenary which is to be formally opened today by the laying of the cornerstone of the Emerson hall. In Cambridge, destined to be the home of the departments of philosophy and education in Harvard university. The sum of $150,- OOO as announced in dispatches. was com pleted several days ago, and though the building will still be greatly improved for its purposes if an additional $5OoO0 can be raised, the work on 1t Is to begin very shortly. The building will stand between Sever hall and Quincy street, opposite the new architectural building. Professor Shaier's house will be moved along to- wards President Eliot's to make room for it.
 Within the hall will stand a bronze statue of Emerson by Frank Duveneck of Cincinnati. This, euriously enough, will be the first memorial statue that has as yet been erected to Emerson anywhere in the Boston community though it Is reported that one by Daniel Chester French, sculptor of the celebrated Min ute Man" of Concord, may some day be placed in the court yard of the Boston Public library. However that may be, it is probably true that Emerson, himself, would have wished for no more fitting tribute than that of having his sculp- tured likneness In such school of philos-

1t still presents not little of the charm of Concord in the forties and hfties; ana above all 1t retains the historic structures made famous by Emerson, Thoreau' the Alcotts, and Hawthorne. These regu- larly attract a large number Of sight seers annually, but the throngs in Con cord during this anniversary time rather suggest that Thoreau was right in belleY- ing-as Bronson Alcott once said he dld that he lived in the center of the uni verso and proposed to annex the planet to Concord Apparently the annexation of the planet is complete. It might also be added that most of the sightseers after a. sew hours of wandering about the his toric town from the historic manse to Walden Pond and back again and of ob- serving the quiet beauty of the meadows, and woods, come better to appreciate the meaning in Thoreau's witticism when he was asked If he had travelled extensively in Europe. 'No. indeed he replied, but I have travelled extensively In Concord. '
 Perhaps no better general estimate of Emerson's place among the worlds It. erary men has been brought forward during the present revival than that writ ten by the editor of the Christian Regis ter, the leading paper of the denomina- tion to which the philosopher belonged

whereby on men and women ornamental surgery removes wrinkles, straightens crooked noses and sets close to the head ears that stick out. It has never heard of the processes whereby on dogs a straight tail that should be kinky re- ceives the requisite curls and twists whereby a King Charles spaniels nose that is too long and penduous is short ened and turned up; whereby a straight coat is made permanently curly; whereby marks of every description are permaneut- ly added to or substraeted from dogs at will.
 In every city says the New York Tri- bune, 1t is easy to find these dog special ists-these seulptors on living canine flesh, The men are, as a rule, dos breeders. They have kennels and more or less ex- tensive, where they rear blooded and costly stock.

resound with Emersonian discourses. At Appleton Chapel, Cambridge, sermon on Emerson is to be delivered by Francis G. Peabody, dean of the Harvard divin- ity school, and the various churches throughout the Boston community will, practically without respect to denomina- tion, vie with one another in honoring this former Unitarian minister who gave up the habit of formal discourse from the pulpit to preach to the larger con- stituency which he could reach from the lecture platform. Undoubtedly the most impressive of all these exercises will be that held at old Concord in the First Parish church where Emerson used to preach, and which still stands, an im- pressive example of the simple dignity of old-fashioned New England architee- ture. Here a memorial service will be held at which addresses are to be made by Senator George F. Hoar, Professor Charles Eliot Norton Professor William James, anS Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson.
 The Emerson centennial celebration will not end, of course, with the exer- cises of the next few days. Nothing short of a revival of the famous Con- cord School of Philosophy Is scheduled for this summer. It has happened very fortunately that the Emerson birthday year has coincded with the first coming to Boston of the National Educational association-the greatest body of pro- fessional educators in the world. Be- tween 20, 900 and 30000 visitors will report in Boston early in July to attend this convention, and for the benefit of these as we'll as the regular Emerson enthusi- asts who have come together rom every section of the country, an Emerson Me morial school has been arranged which

In the days of his formal ministry: '"The influence of Emerson Is steadily increas- ing, and will grow from more to more, certainly for a generation to come. Whether his writings will have such last ing influence as those of that kindred spirit Marcus Aurelius can not be cer- tainly known. But, because they have in them a modern element, the humane spirit of American democracy at It's best, they will be likely to endure. His poems may outlast his essays, as some of them have the matchless beauty of the statues which come from the hands of Phidias and his contemporaries. Through this beauty of form shines that light of wis dom. the unquenchable candle of the Lord in the soul of man.
 Of the strong impression "the adorable sage of Concord village" makes upon the younger generation of poets one can give no more vivid example than the striking tribute rendered by MT. Bliss Carman, the young Canadian poet. in the Literary World. "In the bewildering maze" says Mir. Carman.

1 will present by far the most remarKa- ble series of literary events Boston has witnessed in many year. The school is announced as opening on July IS, imme- mediatey after the close of the Educa- | tional Associations meetings, and will continue until August l. Thirty lectures in all have been planned for. two each day, one of them being held In Concord in the morning the other in Boston in the afternoon. Two of the afternoon ses- sions will be devoted to "reminiscences of Emerson by men who were his personal friends This partial list of lectures and lecturers will serve to give an idea of the broad scope of the school:

Brothers; "Emersons Aim and Method in Social Reform," by Will liam M. Salter; Emerson the Puritan" by Rev. Charles F. Dole; 'The Religion of Emerson" by Dr. Edward W.

Thayer; "Emersons Place in American Literature" by Professor c. r. Richard son; Emerson the Seer of Democracy" by Rabbi Charles Fleischer; Emerson and Carlyle" by Rev. c. E. Jefferson: Emerson, the Man." by Rev. R. Heber Newton.
 One of the most interesting facts, cer- tainly, in the whole centenary is the re- i juvenation of quiet Concord-"a bare lit- tie place." a recent English visitor wrote, yet redoent with memories of rich past. As it is appropriate that Har- yard, Emerson's alma mater, should take the leading part in establishing a new tribute to the mans pervasive influence, so it Is probably fitting that the white New England house at Concord in which the sage lived so many fruitful years, cosmopolitan in thought and provincial in habits, should be the especial Mecca of literary pilgrimages. In Concord the visitor finds himself in closer touch with the past than almost anywhere else about Boston, for changed to certain extent as the village of today is. with its large population of well-to-do suburbanites,

ophy as Harvard rIvw erecting in his honor. Harvard's interest In Emerson Is naturally keen, for, although 1t Is a curious fact that the future scholar did not think enough of his bachelors degree to take 1t and pay the customary fee, his life after 1921, the year his class was graduated, was closely associated in many ways with the college In Cam bridge. Indeed, after his fame as a thinker had once gone abroad. he was probably the most talked of Harvard alumnus, admired by most, disliked by a few as a supposedly dangerous radical, but with dislike that became steadily less as his personality and teachings be- came better understood Beyond doubt, the two most famous orations ever de- livered at Harvard were by Emerson; one his magnificent oration before the Phi Beta Kappa-Harvards literary so- ciety par excellence-delivered August 31, 1S37 and the other given before the grail uating class of the Harvard divinity school the year following. It Is diff cult at the present day to appreciate the importance in the eyes of contemporaries of these two expressions of New Eng land Protestantism-if one may so de- nominate Emerson's vigorous individual ism Quite possibly, neither of them, ex- cept for the admirable and monumental form in which they are cast, would ex- cite special enthusiasm Is spoken at Har- yard this year. The thought in the one that American scholarship ought to be set free from servile dependence upon European institutions and in the other that religion should be freed from ser vile dependence upon dogma, has, of course, become commonplace, and in- deed so generally accepted that the up- to-date tendency in at least one American educational institution Is distinctly re- actionary and against such individuallsm as Emerson advocated But in 1887. his special pleading was startingly fresh ard striking. Let me admonish you, first of all," he said in his divinity school ad- dress, "to go alone; to refuse good mod els, even those most sacred to the imag
 ination of men and to dare love God without mediator or veil"
 Other features of the Emerson celebra- tion which are still to take place are bound to excite further interest through out the country in this remarkable cen- tenary. Tomorrow, for instance, in Bos- tons new Symphony hall, erected largely through the munificenee of Major Henry Lee Higginson, a great commemorative meeting Is to be held at which Senator George Frisby Hoar will act as chaplain, and President Eliot of Harvard will be a principal speaker. Choral music from the Handel and Haydn society and the reading of a poem by Professor George E. Woodbury of Columbia university will lend further attractveness 10 the event.
