made Fisher Professor Emeritus. In 1890-91 he visited Ceylon, 
Java, Straits Settlements, Australia, and Japan, adding greatly to 
his rich accumulation of botanical knowledge. His later years were 
lived quietly in Cambridge. 
His work was well known outside of Harvard University. In 
1890 he received the degree of LL.D. from Amherst College, where 
he had taken his baccalaureate degree in 1860 and from which he 
received A. M. in 1866; in 1894 from Bowdoin; in 1896 from Prince- 
ton. In 1889 he was vice-president of the Biological Section of the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science, and 1890-91 
president of the Association. He was a fellow of the American 
Academy of Arts and Sciences, member of the American Philosophical 
Society, National Academy of Sciences; honorary fellow of the New 
York Academy of Sciences and of the Royal Society of New Zealand; 
at one time he was associate editor of the American Journal of Science, 
and was in attendance at the International Botanical Congress at 
Brussels in 1910; he held membership in the various botanical societies. 
Dr. Goodale came of a distinguished father. Stephen Lincoln 
Goodale (1815-1897) succeeded to the drug business of his father, 
and early became interested in the chemical and botanical phases of 
pharmacy; this interest he extended to horticulture and crop-produc- 
tion, and he developed what was then the best growing collection 
of fruits and ornamental plants in Maine. From 1856-1872 he was 
secretary of the Maine State Board of Agriculture, editing sixteen 
volumes of reports which are well known to this day for their excel- 
lence. In 1861 he published “The Principles of Breeding," which is 
an able discussion of the physiological laws involved in the repro- 
duction and improvement of domestic animals, and was long a leading 
presentation of the subject. He became interested in the manu- 
facture and use of commercial fertilizers, and with Gail Borden 
started a factory as early as 1863 for the manufacture of condensed 
milk. He also was concerned in the manufacture of beef extract 
by the Liebig process. He was once a trustee of the State College 
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, now the University of Maine. 
His correspondence was extensive with scientific men in this country 
and abroad. 
George Lincoln Goodale married Henrietta Juel Hobson in 1866, 
who survives him, as do his two sons, Dr. Joseph Lincoln Goodale, 
Boston, and Francis G. Goodale of Weston, Massachusetts, as well
