"And I might go on to show in some de- 

 tail that a doctoral investigation in the 

 humanities, when the subject is well chosen,

He has conferred a favor upon all natur- 

 alists by collating chapters on Agassiz's 

 methods of teaching Professors Shaler, 

 Verrill, Wilder and Scudder. There are 

 also other interesting chapters, especially 

 one on "Agassiz — His Personality" and 

 "Passages for Comparison with the Method 

 of Agassiz."
