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.
Horn Items in 18th Century Exhibit
The exhibition of eighteenth cen
tury books and prints now on dis
play in the circulation lobby of the
library includes a selection of items
collected by Dr. Robert D. Horn,
professor of English, in connection
with his research on the eighteenth
century.
The exhibit, which has been ar
ranged by the library staff, was
chosen as a feature to accompany
the Northwest Drama conference,
which opens today, Horn stated.
The prints and books' are ar

London actress, is the center of a

Dryden’s satire, “Abosolom anc
Achitophel” are included.
The next case features portraits
of Alexander Pope, works of Swift
and first editions of eighteenth
century novels.
The variety of book formats and
bindings is illustrated in the next
two cases, which include eigh
teenth century engravings from
early portraits of Steele and Addi
son to Hogarth, Bewick, and Row
landson.
The floor case displays a por
tion of Dr. Horn's collection of
material relative to the military
triumphs of the Duke of Marlbor
ough, ancestor of Winston Church
ill. Among books displayed is the
rare first edition of Addison’s poem
“The Campaign.” which celebrated
the Battle of Blenheim. An engrav
ing of Blenheim palace, presented
to Marlborough in honor of his vic
tory, appears in one of the wall
cases. Shown also is the manu
