LEWIS HENRY MORGAN, LL.D. 435 



A sad calamity caused the death of his two daughters in 1862, and 

 at that time, as Mr. Morgan was much interested in plans for the 

 higher education of women, he endeavored to establish in Rochester a 

 college for women, to which he jjrojjosed to make a memoi'ial endow- 

 ment ; but his efforts were not entirely successful. lie then resolved 

 to leave the whole of his property for the purpose after the decease 

 of his wife and son, hoping that others would unite in making the fund 

 ample for such an institution. In pursuance of this object he has left 

 his entire and considerable property in trust to the University of 

 Rochester for the final establishment of a college for women. 



In the "Popular Science Monthly" for November, 1880, there is 

 a good portrait of Mr. Morgan as President of the American Asso- 

 ciation for the Advancement of Science, accompanied by an account 

 of his life written by Major J. W. Powell. 



In this short sketch no attempt has been made to mention all the 

 publications of which Mr. Morgan was the author. A full list of his 

 papers is desirable, as they are widely scattered, and several are but 

 little known, and difficult to obtain. The following list gives the titles 

 of those which have come under the writer's notice : —
