and Dogma, dont il retira de la circulation l'édition ita- 
lienne, “on intimations received in Rome that his position 
‘was regarded as unduly “advanced”. Vears later it was 
a satisfaction to the venerable author to learn that in the 
discussion “De Creatione” at the Gregorian in Rome, Dr 
Zahm was referred to by Father Huarte, S. J., as optimus 
vi who, at the first sign that this work was disquieting to 
certain souls, promptly withdrew it from print.” 
Le P. Zahm publia aussi les ouvrages scientifiques sui- 
vants : Bible, Science and Faith ; Evolution and Teleology 
(2?) ; Cathohc Science and Catholic Scientists ; Scientific 
Theory and Catholic Doctrine ;' Science and the Church ; 
Women in Science ; Sound in Music ; Great Inspirers. 
“Dr Zahm's interests and activities, however, lay not 
alone in the field of science. He was among the leading 
Dante scholars of the country, and made a large and 
choice collection of books, engravings, etc., relating to the 
great Florentine, which is a treasured acquisition of the 
University of Notre Dame... He visited all parts of the 
United States, and made a journey to Alaska... ; he knew 
Mexico extremely well. He also traveled extensively in 
Europe and in the Orient. His experiences and explora- 
tions in South America are embodied in four splendidly 
written volumes which, for a sympathetic understanding of 
the people he met and the institutions he visited, stand out 
as classics in the literature of Hispanic America. These 
books, Up the Orinoco and down the Magdalena; Along the 
Andes and down the Amazon ; The Quest of. El Dorado ; 
Through South America  Southlands, are among Dr. 
Zahm's most important contributions to history and lite- 
rature. ”
