No. 375.] LOUIS AGASSIZ. 153 
already at Cambridge. In 1871, again enjoying the hospitality 
of the Coast Survey, he sailed from Boston in the steamer 
“ Hasler,” passed through the Strait of Magellan, up along 
the west coast of South America and the Galapagos Archi- 
pelago, and finally reached San Francisco. This last trip was 
in many ways a disappointment, for the steamer itself was in 
poor condition and its equipment inadequate for deep sea 
dredging. Yet the collections made were very considerable. 
But we must return to Agassiz’s work at Cambridge, and 
especially to his work as a teacher. As time passed most of 
those who came with him from Europe either returned or 
obtained occupation elsewhere; but their places were taken by 
American students who were attracted to Cambridge by his 
name. It may be said that no teacher in recent years, unless 
it be the venerable Leuckart at Leipzig, has trained so many 
students who later arose to prominence in scientific lines as 
did Agassiz. The following names occur to us at the moment 
of writing —a little research would doubtless add to the 
number: J. G. Anthony, Alexander Agassiz, J. A. Allen, J. M. 
Barnard, Albert Bickmore, W. K. Brooks, Waldo I. Burnett, 
Caleb Cooke, Henry James Clarke, Thomas Clarke, William H. 
Dall, Walter Faxon, Jesse W. Fewkes, Samuel Garman, Charles 
Hamlin, Frederick C. Hartt, Alpheus Hyatt, William James, 
David S. Jordan, John L. Le Conte, Theodore Lyman, Horace 
Mann, James E. Mills, Charles S. Minot, Edward S. Morse, 
John Macready, William H. Niles, Albert S. Ordway, Alpheus 
S. Packard, John B. Perry, Frederick W. Putnam, Nathaniel 
S. Shaler, Samuel H. Scudder, William Stimpson, Sanborn 
Tenney, Philip R. Uhler, Addison E. Verrill, Burt G. Wilder, 
and Charles O. Whitman. When we look over the names of 
those who are doing the zoological work of America to-day, we 
find few who have not been trained by Agassiz, by his pupils, 
or by his pupils’ pupils. ; 
Agassiz’s method of teaching was largely the laboratory 
method which we know to-day. Mr. Scudder has so well 
described his experience when he first went to study ento- 
mology with Agassiz that we cannot refrain from quoting from 
his account :
