  enduring 
  fame 
  throughout 
  both 
  hemispheres 
  ; 
  whose 
  efforts 
  in 
  this 
  his 
  adopted 
  

   country 
  have, 
  more 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  any 
  other 
  individual, 
  contributed 
  to 
  a 
  widely 
  

   popular 
  appreciation 
  of 
  the 
  dignity, 
  value, 
  and 
  importance 
  of 
  scientific 
  research, 
  

   and 
  to 
  the 
  necessity 
  of 
  incorporating 
  in 
  our 
  schemes 
  of 
  education, 
  instruction 
  in 
  

   those 
  laws 
  which 
  form 
  the 
  foundations 
  of 
  the 
  Natural 
  Sciences, 
  and 
  are 
  insepar- 
  

   ably 
  connected 
  with 
  our 
  material 
  and 
  intellectual 
  prosperity 
  ; 
  whose 
  geniality 
  

   and 
  enthusiasm 
  in 
  the 
  pursuit 
  of 
  his 
  favorite 
  studies, 
  and 
  whose 
  unequaled 
  power 
  

   of 
  presenting 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  those 
  studies 
  to 
  the 
  public 
  in 
  a 
  simple 
  and 
  attract- 
  

   ive 
  form, 
  have 
  endeared 
  him 
  to 
  the 
  hearts 
  of 
  this 
  nation, 
  and 
  especially 
  to 
  us 
  

   and 
  others 
  who 
  are 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  individually 
  concerned 
  in 
  the 
  pursuit 
  of 
  scien- 
  

   tific 
  truth. 
  

  

  Resolved, 
  That 
  we 
  believe 
  that 
  to 
  Prof. 
  Agassiz 
  and 
  the 
  pupils 
  whom 
  he 
  

   influenced 
  by 
  his 
  teachings 
  and 
  example, 
  we 
  largely 
  owe 
  the 
  adoption 
  'of 
  that 
  

   wise 
  liberality, 
  exhibited 
  by 
  the 
  government 
  and 
  by 
  many 
  private 
  individuals, 
  

   in 
  matters 
  relating 
  to 
  scientific 
  exploration 
  and 
  research, 
  which 
  is 
  so 
  justly 
  the 
  

   pride 
  of 
  American 
  citizens. 
  

  

  Resolved, 
  That 
  the 
  visit 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Agassiz 
  to 
  this 
  community, 
  his 
  genial 
  

   presence, 
  and 
  his 
  address 
  before 
  the 
  Academy 
  and 
  its 
  friends, 
  will 
  always 
  be 
  

   held 
  by 
  us 
  in 
  grateful 
  remembrance. 
  

  

  Resolved, 
  That 
  we 
  deeply 
  regret 
  the 
  bereavement 
  of 
  Prof 
  Agassiz' 
  family, 
  

   and 
  would 
  offer 
  them 
  our 
  sincere 
  and 
  respectful 
  sympathy. 
  

  

  Resolved, 
  That 
  these 
  resolutions 
  be 
  printed 
  in 
  the 
  Academy's 
  Proceedings, 
  

   and 
  that 
  the 
  Secretary 
  be 
  directed 
  to 
  forward 
  an 
  engrossed 
  copy 
  to 
  the 
  family 
  

   of 
  the 
  deceased.
