1879.] 258 [Annual Meeting. 
The association and sympathy of Mrs. Elizabeth Agassiz 
with the undertaking has been particularly gratifying, since 
Prof. Louis Agassiz was the first naturalist who ever taught a 
popular audience in this country with the specimens in hand. 
The enterprise was in large part the work of women and 
affords pleasing evidence of the activity and usefulness of this 
new class of members in our Society. 
The following is a list of the donors:

Smaller sums were contributed by Mrs. Elizabeth C. 
Agassiz, Mrs. Samuel Hooper, Miss 8. Minns, Miss E. Mason, 
Miss M. C. Jackson, Miss Stone, Miss Abby W. May, Mrs. 
James Freeman Clarke, Miss Cora H. Clarke, Miss Lucretia 
Crocker, Mrs. Thomas Mack, Mrs. A. 8. Farwell and others. 
Many of these ladies were very active in securing the suc- 
cess of the course and the Society thanks them and others ; 
especially Mrs. EK. D. Cheney, Miss J. M. Arms, Miss C. J. 
Treland, and Mrs. Samuel Wells for their personal efforts 
in behalf of the Teachers’ School of Science. 
The teachers themselves, at our solicitation, joined in 
making up the fund. 
The number of the schools which contributed may have 
occasioned some few omissions, especially as many must have 
been represented by personal contributions which were made 
at the lectures and could not be credited to any particular 
school.
