Th0 little town of Woods Hole was made tip of 

 rather well*to-«>do susuner residents and the natives* 

 And the natives had the stinsoer people elassifiedt 

 the Big Bugs and the Bug Hunters* Ve had a boat 

 trip to the island of Penikesef where Louis Agassis 

 had had his famous class* I resiexiiber one of the 

 former pupils telling how he wanted to know what 

 he was to do« Bnd Agassiz handed him a fish bone 

 and said^ "Take this and tell me all about it in 

 a eouple of weeks*" He was sonewhet bewildered 

 about where to begin* I guess Agassiz wanted him 

 to go over it with a nieroseope and study Its 

 structure 9 chemistry and everything else* 



I resMmber later when I was having 

 Dr* David Jordan (President of Stanford^ University) 

 autograph some of his books ^ he told me with pride 

 that he had an autographed book of Louis Agassiz* 

 Br* Jordan seemed sueh an important person, yet 

 he had an almost boyish pride in his possession of 

 Agassiz *s autograph* 

 0ilb: Of course Louis Agassis was so great* 

 Cogginss Yes* He must have been quite a forcible person, 

 I guess, to leave his mark as he did*
