  • Emersonian : [Emerson College Yearbook]
    — ' LJEM' i .i jc ; f. iUSlQNS ASST. D-T. 'C? / EMERSONIAN Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Seven Emerson College Boston, Massachusetts . Eighty-Seven Years Men have tried to communicate their wants to others for centuries. The cavemen grunted at first, blind people used braille, and deaf people use their hands and fingers. The more fortunate people can just speak. But just speaking or communicating is much harder than it seems. From world leaders to everyday housewives, this Art is strived for. Many desire it but feu attain real perfection. For this reason one professor and his six students felt it necessary to begin a college of oratory. Emerson has come a long way since it was founded in 1880. as a private school, by Charles Wesley Emerson. In those days it was more commonly known as The Boston Conservatory located at Pemberton Square. So the birth of a new school with new ideas began. But just as success and time never stand still, so it was with our Emerson of today. Mr. Emerson's college began a series of moves and name changes right up until 1 908. In the cool September of 1886, the Boston Conservatory of Oratory was removed to Wesleyan Hall on Bromfield Street and named the Monroe College of Oratory. Just a short four years later, as a result of a petition to the Legisla- ture. the institution was again renamed. This time the famil- iar word Emerson came into being. It was named Emerson College of Oratory And so time continued and the college grew. Finally men were beginning to filtrate into the once all woman enroll- ment.

  • The Intermediate Or Disembodied State
    WILLIAM G.T. SHEDD DOGMATIC THEOLOGY Volume Two ESCHATOLOGY Chapter I THE INTERMEDIATE OR DISEMBODIED STATE Eschatology (εσχατων λογος) is that division in Dogmatics which treats of the Intermediate or Disembodied State, Christ's Second Advent, the Resurrection, the Final Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. Revelation does not give minute details upon these subjects, yet the principal features are strongly drawn, and salient. The doctrine of the Intermediate State has had considerable variety of construction, owing to the mixing of mythological elements with the biblical. The representations of Christ in the parable of Dives and Lazarus have furnished the basis of the doctrine. The most general statement is, that the penitent, represented by Lazarus, is happy, and the impenitent, represented by Dives, is miserable. The doctrine taught in Scripture that the body is not raised until the day of judgment, implies that the condition of all men between death and resurrection is a disembodied one. This doctrine has greatly misconceived, and the misconception has introduced grave errors into eschatology. Inasmuch as the body, though not necessary to personal consciousness, is yet necessary in order to the entire completeness of the person, it came to be supposed in the Patristic church, that the intermediate state is a dubious and unfixed state; that the resurrection adds very considerably both to the holiness and happiness of the redeemed, and to the sinfulness and misery of the lost. This made the intermediate, or disembodied state, to be imperfectly

Thus it seemed a happy fortuity when substantial notes taken of that an aly tical exploration of applied metaphysics were made available to me afterward . Their publication in 1956 n o t only provided review materials for those who came from various parts of the field for the n e eve t, but it enabled the absent stud nts to share, in . at least some measure, in the undertaking Now, with this greatly enlarged edition of the orig inal pamphlet it is possible to include additional material found useful by the many who attended the San Francisco class later on . The present paper does not purport to be a com n o r prehensive restatement of either course, can it be regarded as a rounded presentation o f even the bare essentials . Nevertheless, however fragmentary it may be it does cover some of the cardinal points made, points which the students generally felt should be made a part of the permanent record for s u continuing t dy .

  • A History of the New Thought Movement
    RY OF THE r-lT MOVEMEN1 DRESSER I Presented to the LIBRARY of the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO by Victoria College A HISTORY OF THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT BY HORATIO W. DRESSER AUTHOR OF "THE POWER OF SILENCE," * 'HANDBOOK OF THE NEW THOUGHT," "THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW THOUGHT," ETC. NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PUBLISHERS JUL COPYRIGHT, 1919. BY THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PREFACE FOR several years there has been a demand for a history of the liberal wing of the mental-healing movement known as the "New Thought." This demand is partly due to the fact that the move- ment is now well organized, with international headquarters in Washington, D. C., hence there is a desire to bring its leading principles together and see in their in to inter- them unity ; and part est in the pioneers out of whose practice the present methods and teachings have grown. The latter interest is particularly promising since the pioneers still have a message for us. Then, too, we are more interested in these days in trac- ing the connection between the ideas which con- cern us most and the new age out of which they have sprung. We realize more and more clearly that this is indeed a new age. Hence we are in- creasingly eager to interpret the tendencies of thought which express the age at its best. In order to meet this desire for a history of the New Thought, Mr. James A. Edgerton, president of the International New Thought Alliance, decided in 1916 to undertake the work.

    Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/emersonianemerso1950unse Charles Wesley Emersc FOUNDER foreword The (’lass of 1950 has seen and has par- ticipated in the significant growth which Emerson College has achieved daring the last four years. 1.9 the school increased its academic and labora- tory facilities, the students multiplied their extra- curricular activities. Student groups organized athletics, founded a debating society, and estab- lished a tunespaper that serves as an active voice of the students. The Class of 1950 produced many of the leaders of these groups and took the helm in much of the undergraduate organization. In preparing this, our college annual, we have tried to keep this recent Emerson advance in mind. We wanted our book to be, not only a permanent record of the growth of a class, but also a picture of Emerson itself. In photograph and in word we have made every effort to recapture the short segment of Emerson history of which we are a part. It is with these thoughts foremost in mind that we present the 1950 “Emersonian Dedication The only conclusive evidence of a man s sincerity is that he gives himself for a principle. Words, money, all things else, are comparatively easy to give away: hut when a man makes a gift of his daily life and practice, it is plain that the truth, whatever it may be, has taken possession of him. Lowell. For these reasons, so excellently expressed, and be- cause he has done so much for Emerson College with a cer- tain perfection and a personality embodying the finest in taste and culture, we dedicate the 1950 Emersonian to CHARLES W.

    Sermon #225 The New Park Street Pulpit 1 SATAN’S BANQUET NO. 225 A SERMON DELIVERED On SABBATH MORNING, NOVEMBER 28, 1858, BY THE REV. C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE MUSIC HALL, ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. “The governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and said unto him, every man at the beginning does set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.” John 2:9, 10. THE governor of the feast said more than he intended to say, or ra- ther, there is more truth in what he said than he himself imagined! This is the established rule all the world over—“The good wine first and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse.” It is the rule with men and have not hundreds of disappointed hearts bewailed it? Friendship first—the oily tongue, the words softer than butter and afterwards the drawn sword! Ahithophel first presents the lordly dish of love and kind- ness to David; then afterwards that which is worse, for he forsakes his master and becomes the counselor of his rebel son. Judas presents first of all the dish of fair speech and of kindness; the Savior partook thereof, he walked to the house of God in company with Him and took sweet counsel with Him. But afterwards, there came the dregs of the wine—“He that eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.” Judas, the thief, betrayed his Master, bringing forth afterwards “that which is worse.” You have found it so with many whom you thought your friends.
