  • Louis Agassiz
    Louis Agassiz From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz (May 28, Louis Agassiz 1807—December 14, 1873) was a Swiss-American zoologist, glaciologist, and geologist, the husband of educator Elizabeth Cabot Cary Agassiz (married in 1850), and one of the first world-class American scientists. Contents 1 Early life and education 2 Early work 3 Proposal of an ice age 4 Relocation to the United States 5 Legacies 6 Racial classification scheme and racism Louis Agassiz 7 Works Born May 28, 1807 8 Sources Haut-Vully, Switzerland 9 References 10 External links Died December 14, 1873 (aged 66) Cambridge, Massachusetts Nationality American Early life and education Fields Zoology Further information: Agassiz family Louis Agassiz was born in Môtier (now part of Haut-Vully) in the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland. Educated first at home, then spending four years of secondary school in Bienne, he completed his elementary studies in Lausanne. Having adopted medicine as his profession, he studied successively at the universities of Zürich, Heidelberg and Munich; while there he extended his knowledge of natural history, especially of botany. In 1829 he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Erlangen, and in 1830 that of doctor of medicine at Munich. Moving to Paris he fell under the tutelage of Alexander von Humboldt and Georges Cuvier, who launched him on his careers of geology and zoology respectively. Until shortly before this time he had paid no special attention to the study of ichthyology, which soon afterwards became the great occupation of his life, if not the one for which he is most remembered in the modern day.

    THE AUK A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY Vor.. 58 Jut.y, 1941 No. 3 IN MEMORIAM: WITMER STONE BY JAMES A. G. REHN Plate to I• TI•E eminently fitting words of a long-time colleague,"Witmet Stone was born a naturalist, nurtured a naturalist and a naturalist he lived until the end of his days. Most of the many activitiesthat filled his busylife flowedfrom his profoundinterest in nature." Scientist, man of letters,biographer of scienceand scientists,and protectoro• wildlife, he combined with these attainments what another old •riend, Dr. CorneliusWeygandt, has most aptly called "a geniusfor friend- ship." To a buoyant spirit he addedan enthusiasmwhich he kept throughlife, a keensense of humor, a touchof whimsey,a sympathetic understanding,a love of good literature and the instinctsof the his- torian and bibliophile, attributesall of which broadenedhis outlook upon the world and drew him closelyto his fellow men. In his death on May 23, 1939, the American Ornithologists'Union lost an honored Fellow and a former President and Editor, and his associates at the Academyof Natural Scienceswere deprivedof a counselorand coad- jutor who for over fifty yearshad lived as one o• them. Witmet Stonewas born in Philadelphia,September 22, 1866, the second son of Frederick D. and Anne E. Witmet Stone. His ances- try was PennsylvaniaEnglish-Quaker and PennsylvaniaDutch, two stockswhich have given us a number of our famousAmerican natural- ists,such as Melsheimer, Haldeman, Say, von Schweinitz,Darlington, Cassin,Leidy and Cope. His father was for many yearsLibrarian of the Historical Societyof Pennsylvaniaand a recognizedauthority on Pennsylvaniahistory. Doubtlesswe can trace much of Witmet Stone's appreciationof good literature, scholarlywriting and regard for booksand book-makingto an early paternal influence.

INTRODUCTION. Early in January, 1911, the Recording Secretary in letters to the President and the Chairman of the Library Committee, urged the desirability of a fitting observance of the one hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the Academy. He prepared an outline program which, having been elaborated by a preliminary committee consisting of Henry G. Bryant, LL.B., George Vaux, Jr., Henry Skinner, M.D., Sc.D., Thomas H. Fenton, M.D., and the Secretary, was approved by the Council, the proposed celebration was authorized, and the President was directed to appoint a Committee of Arrangements of which he should be the Chairman. The President appointed a general committee, which, appropriately divided into sub-committees, was charged with the details of management as follows: CENTENARY COMMITTEES. Honorable Samuel Gibson Dixon, M.D., LL.D., President of the Academy, Chairman of the General Committee.

  • Professor Louis Agassiz People Mentioned in Walden
    PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN ALMOST MENTIONED IN WALDEN: PROFESSOR JEAN LOUIS RODOLPHE AGASSIZ, THE AMERICAN LYSENKO “I have always suspected Agassiz of superficiality & wretched reasoning powers; but I think such men do immense good in their way. See how he stirred up all Europe about Glaciers.” — Charles Darwin, commenting on Louis Agassiz’s pseudoscientific political agenda, in a private letter to Thomas Henry Huxley on September 26, 1857 HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF WALDEN: PROFESSOR LOUIS AGASSIZ PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN THE THREE “SCIENTISM-ISTS” Over the years the Thoreau Society has brushed up against a number of public intellectuals out of Harvard, professors who have traded on their credentials as scientists in order to profess that they knew, better than we know, how it is that we ought to live. First Professor Agassiz, whom Thoreau had mentioned in WALDEN, gave serieses of public lectures in downtown Boston about the Godliness of human enslavement, defending his friends the Southern slavemasters against the unrighteous attacks being made upon them by people like Thoreau and Darwin who did not understand the exigencies of human biology. Then Professor Skinner took time off from raising his daughter in a cage, and time off from developing an early generation of “smart bombs” in which pigeons were trained to peck at screens inside a nose-cone until they blew themselves up, to write a book WALDEN II which was twice as good as Thoreau’s WALDEN. The burden of WALDEN II is that human freedom is a wrong goal. We should all be training each other by behavioristic operant conditioning to be good little cogs in a friction-free local social engine.

Descended from Darwin (Philadelphia: American Philosophical Society) Chapter 6 Ernst Mayr and the “Biology of Birds” Joe Cain Introduction Too often, formal publications structure the narratives we historians build. It is our legacy from intellectual history and the desire for declarative statements. It is also a measure of the convenience of published books and papers. We often forget, however, how these literary products stand in for activities that go much further—tips of ice- bergs comprising lives as lived. Sometimes those tips represent pinnacles; sometimes, peripheral edges. Sometimes, too, they are unrepresentative and distract biographers away from more revealing paths. Historical studies risk failure when the relationship between books and lived lives goes unexamined. The narrative of Ernst Mayr’s life (1904–2005) has been grounded firmly in lit- erary products that carry his name (Mayr, 1942, 1963; Mayr, Linsley, & Usinger, 1953). Bock (1994, 2005) and Haffer (1997, 2002, 2005) have done splendid work stretching our biographical knowledge beyond Mayr’s main publications to give a robust sense of overarching research programs and legacies inherited from mentors.
