  good 
  to 
  result, 
  when 
  these 
  trained 
  teachers 
  would 
  form 
  centres 
  of 
  similar 
  

   instruction 
  to 
  other 
  classes 
  elsewhere. 
  

  

  In 
  conclusion, 
  if 
  my 
  plea 
  for 
  entomological 
  study 
  shall 
  meet 
  its 
  

   desired 
  response 
  in 
  inducing 
  some 
  of 
  you 
  to 
  become 
  faithful 
  laborers 
  in 
  

   this 
  broad 
  field, 
  where 
  so 
  large 
  an 
  amount 
  of 
  virgin 
  soil 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  upturned, 
  

   so 
  much 
  tillage 
  is 
  required, 
  and 
  such 
  abundant 
  fruit 
  to 
  be 
  gathered 
  — 
  

   then, 
  let 
  me 
  further 
  ask 
  of 
  you, 
  not 
  to 
  rest 
  contented 
  to 
  gather 
  for 
  your- 
  

   selves 
  alone, 
  but 
  that 
  from 
  your 
  superabundant 
  stores 
  you 
  may 
  make 
  

   large 
  contribution 
  to 
  others. 
  Emulate 
  the 
  example 
  of 
  him 
  whose 
  

   honored 
  and 
  revered 
  name 
  your 
  association 
  bears. 
  Ever 
  find 
  your 
  

   greatest 
  incentive 
  tp 
  study, 
  not 
  in 
  that 
  it 
  enriches 
  yourself, 
  but 
  that 
  you 
  

   may 
  impart 
  to 
  others. 
  So 
  gather 
  from 
  Nature's 
  exhaustless 
  stores 
  and 
  so 
  

   distribute 
  that 
  your 
  fellow-men 
  shall 
  be 
  made 
  the 
  better, 
  wiser 
  and 
  happier 
  

   from 
  your 
  having 
  been 
  permitted 
  to 
  serve 
  as 
  Nature's 
  interpreters. 
  

  

  More 
  of 
  honor 
  than 
  regal 
  crown 
  can 
  bestow 
  is 
  in 
  that 
  single 
  word, 
  

   chiseled 
  on 
  a 
  glacial 
  block 
  borne 
  from 
  beyond 
  the 
  seas 
  to 
  mark, 
  so 
  

   fittingly, 
  the 
  grave 
  of 
  Agassiz 
  at 
  Mount 
  Auburn 
  — 
  Teacher.
