By the Associated Press. URBANA, 1Ii., December 12.—Con- trary to general:belief that Lin- coln’s Gettysburg address was either unprepared or a hastily prepared ef- fort, it ‘was a result of careful thought and much work, according to Prof. Daniel Kilham Dodge of the University of 1llinois. He is con- vinced, after years of research work, that Lincoln's success in writing and speaking was the result of constant effort, and that standard English to | Wi the Civil War President was an ac- quired dialect. “It has often been assumed that Lincoln, like G6ld$mith, was a master of English style by the grace of God and without spetial effort 6n his part,” Prof. Dodge declared. “Noth- ing could be farther from the truth, for we have abundant evidence, both internal a ernal, that Lincoln's i ng and speaking, as e practice of law, was the re- e | sult of constant effort. “Just as hi e thorough prepara- tion of his Iz ses, studying his opponent’ e as carefully as his own, never depending upon the spiration of the moment, so he be- in- - |stowed infinite pains upon the prepa- ration of his speeches, generally writ- ing them out in full and commitling them to memory. "hen he did speak without prepa- ration, as - with the short speeches on theé journey to Washingtoh in i861 or the response to a serenade ing before the delivery of & address, the result ing but successful. s defect also had its ad- and it is to a great extent for his later of the spoken word. It con- to making Lincoln a pro- artist, advancing step by m the crude ‘communication’ through the rather sopho- || orts of the late thirties and carly forties, and the more restrained speeches of the fifties to the mark ot high literary distinction of the Cooper Institute address, the two inaugurals and -the Gettysburg ad- " | ress.” Nature keeps things balanced.
