This is scheduled for Lecturer Tells of Poet's Views Those who charge that Emerson believed the universe was good through and through do not know the real Emerson, according to Dr. Hubert H. Hoeltje. The real Emer son experienced all the sorrows of death, knew that in every virtue there was a tincture of vice and yet was able, through courage, to re main an optimist, he said. This is the “Emerson Nobody Knows" which Dr. Hoeltje dis cussed at the University lecture last night in Chapman hall. Emerson was not a philosopher of despair, Hoeltje said, because he realized there was refuge in cour age. In recounting Emerson’s life, Hoeltje pointed out that both Em erson’s younger brothers had died at an early age, that his first wife had died shortly after their mar riage and that his son, by another marriage, had died when five years old. Though he experienced these sorrows, Emerson was able to believe that one has not seen but half the universe when he has not seen the house of pain, Hoeltje as serted. The Emerson nobody knows, Hoeltje said, is the Emerson who believed that “since we see nothing clear, we dare not stamp some thing false, when we know nothing for sure.’’ Emerson had experienced all the doubts of an idealist, but his opti mism toward life came as a result of learning how to compel this mind to rest and as a result of his courage, Hoeltje said. The Emerson known to most is the Emerson of serenity, optimism and affirmativeness; the unknown Emerson is the one who realized that life is not all good, Hoeltje pointed out.
