Ralph Waldo Emerson was born in Boston, May 25, 1803. He was descended


from a long line of New England ministers, men of refinement and


education. As a school-boy he was quiet and retiring, reading a great


deal, but not paying much attention to his lessons. He entered Harvard


at the early age of fourteen, but never attained a high rank there,


although he took a prize for an essay on Socrates, and was made class


poet after several others had declined. Next to his reserve and the


faultless propriety of his conduct, his contemporaries at college


seemed most impressed by the great maturity of his mind. Emerson


appears never to have been really a boy. He was always serene and


thoughtful, impressing all who knew him with that spirituality which


was his most distinguishing characteristic.
