URBA.MA, 111., Sept. ' 5. To prove- what he states is the falsity of some of the current beliefs and conclusions as expressed in much of the literature on Abraham Lin coln. Dr. D. K. . Dodge of the de partment of English, University of Illinois, this school year will con duct a course In Lincoln's letters and speeches. Dr. Dodge is regard ed as one of the greatest living au thorities on Lincoln. "I expect to show by documen tary evidence that Lincoln's famous Gettysburg" speech was not scratch ed on the back of an envelope while ho was riding to that famous bat tlefield, but was one of his most carefully prepared speeches and one upon which he worked about "10 days," Dr. Dodge said in announc ing the course, , , v "The 'lost speech' supposed to have been v delivered at Blooming ton, 111., was not lost at all, as it was delivered tho next day at Gal ena, III.., Contemporary newspapers described In detail the meetings at which Lincoln spoke, hut it was not then, the custom of reporters to attempt to quote the speeches and thus It was natural that no record of his remarks are found. "Just as Washington's home paper culled him 'an old fool' tor signing tho United States constitu tion, one Springfield newspaper ridiculed Lincoln's Gettysburg ad dress, roferrlng to his gestures 'us those of a clown.' " This point Is brought out by Dr. Dodge to Indicate that much of tha Idealism with which Lincoln Is re garded today wus absent while he was president, and added that "criticism of President Wilson was vory mild, compared with that which Lincoln mot."
