TWO DAYS WITH THE TERNS 127 
whose record as a Tern protector does not invite our 
confidence, but a society of bird lovers—the Nuttall 
Club of Cambridge, or the Audubon Society of Mas- 
sachusetts. Would it not be a fitting act for one of 
these organizations to ask from woman, the Tern’s 
chief enemy, contributions to a fund for the pur- 
chase of an asylum for her victims. Can no one so 
plead the Terns’ cause that many a feather-bedecked 
woman will be glad to send her conscience money 
to aid in securing their protection ? 
But in addition to being a home of the birds, 
Penikese has other claims upon Nature lovers. 
Here Agassiz, through the medium of his summer 
school, brought his pupils into direct contact with 
Nature, and the scene of his labors is fraught with 
associations to every one familiar with the inspiring 
history of his life. Let us keep this island sacred to 
his memory and the Terns.
