22 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMHERST MEETING 



The vigorous health of Professor Wright, which had enabled him to 

 perform his great services as a Christian minister and teacher, and addi- 

 tionally to engage in much field-work and extensive travels for observa- 

 tions in glacial geology and archaeology, with unremitting industry in 

 authorship and editorial duties, continued almost to the end of his life. 

 After an illness of five weeks of cardiac asthma, he died at his home in 

 Oberlin, April 20, 1921. He was the most distinguished American 

 clergyman and theologian who has won eminence also as an investigator 

 and educator in the natural sciences, especially in his chosen field, where 

 geology and anthropology unveil the primitive earliest view of the yet 

 progressing creation of man "in the image of God." 



His place of burial, in the Westwood Cemetery of Oberlin, is marked 

 by a large boulder of a peculiar conglomerate, containing little frag- 

 ments of red jasper, from its area in Canada north of Lake Huron. Sev- 

 eral smaller boulders of the same rock formation, borne thence south- 

 ward across Ohio during the Ice Age, were found by Professor Wright 

 near the farthest limit of the glacial drift in Kentucky, having been 

 transported by early Patrician ice-currents athwart the later southwest-. 

 ward courses of the Illmoisan and Wisconsin glaciation. So his body is 

 at rest beneath a formerly ice-borne rock, as that of Louis Agassiz at 

 Mount Auburn reposes under a mighty boulder brought from a glacier 

 of the Swiss Alps, each awaiting the last Easter morn. 



From a list of his published papers and reviews, in pages 437 to 459 

 of Wright's "Story of my Life and Work," the following references are 

 mainly transcribed, with later citations since 1916; but only the titles 

 relating definitely to geology, prehistoric archaeology, and the origin and 

 antiquity of man are here included. Eeferences are also added for books 

 of his authorship on these subjects.
