EDWARD WALDO EMERSON LECTURES
On Thursday Afternoon, April Sth.
MIR. Edward Waldo Emerson, delivered
lecture on four New England writer's:
Hawthorne. Lowell, Longfelow and
Holmes. His consideration of Haw-
thorne dealt chiefly with that authors
! i f g and personal characteristics.
His most remarkable characteristics
said Mr.. Emerson, were his shyness and
ditfidence in receiving strangers and at
the same time his frankness. manliness
and love of children" He was hardly
known to his townsfolk. Longfellow is
worth while for two reasons: ~ He.
brought Whit of the Old World to this
country, and (2) he showed that literary
men of America have just as good
material for poetry as Homer had. Mr.
Emerson discussed Lowell as a critic
and as a teacher. AS a critic, Lowell
was often unfair, but always shrewd,
as teacher, he was inspiring and help
ful, though not eXacting. Holmes, the
speaker considered chiefly as an attrac-
tive lecturer in the anatomical class
room, and as a genial man of attractive
personality. The whole lecture gave
an intimate view of four personalities
that have had much to do with mould
ing our literary thought and tradition.
