Ralph Waldo EmersonInspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous speech, "The American Scholar," delivered to the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Harvard College in 1837, the magazine aspires to Emerson's ideals of independent thinking, self-knowledge, and a commitment to the affairs of the world as well as to books, history, and science.
