	Louis Agassiz (1807-1873) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Agassiz was educated in Switzerland and Germany where Naturphilosophie was the academic orthodoxy according to which nature was understood.
		Agassiz believed that nature's deep order was revealed in apparent gradations from low to high forms in each taxon, the order of appearance in the fossil record, latitude, as well as in embryological recapitulation.
		This was the legacy of Naturphilosophie on Agassiz.

		Agassiz was a natural scientist who traveled to Brazil in connection with his attempt to prove Cuvier's Catastrophism theory B that the earth goes though periodic catastrophes, which cause turn new species of animals, and plants appear.
		Agassiz scientific purpose made his account very different from the travel writers of the period, with his focus almost exclusively on his research and with little information being revealed about the country in which he is working, except to the extent that the reported information bears on the scientific purpose of the work.
		Agassiz was a very important part in the travel diary because without her it would have undoubtedly ended up as just a scientific report and not a travel journal.

		Agassiz's collection were transfered from the small wooden house, which was later moved and renovated to become the eventual Zoological Hall for the use of students and assistants at the museum.
		Agassiz tried in vain to stop the sweep of Darwinism, and was most distressed by the fact that, with the exception of Asa Gray, most proponents of Darwinian thinking in the U.S. at that time were not naturalists.
		Agassiz, his wife, six assistants and several volunteers embarked on the Thayer Expedition to Brazil between April 1865 and July 1866.

	Louis Agassiz
		American, Swiss-born naturalist and geologist, was the son of the Protestant pastor of the parish of Motier, on the north-eastern shore of the Lake of Morat (Murten See), and not far from the eastern extremity of the Lake of Neuchâtel.
		Thus familiarized with the phenomena attendant on the movements of recent glaciers, Agassiz was prepared for a discovery which he made in 1840, in conjunction with William Buckland.
		Louis Agassiz was twice married, and by his first wife he had an only son, Alexander Agassiz, born in 1835; in 1850, after her death, he married his second wife, Elizabeth Cabot Cary of Boston, afterwards well known as a writer and as an active promoter of educational work in connection with Radcliffe College.

		The son of a minister, Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz was born on May 28, 1807 in the village of Montier, in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
		Agassiz labored for support of science in his adopted homeland; he and his colleagues urged the creation of a National Academy of Sciences, and Agassiz became a founding member in 1863.
		The cornerstone of Agassiz's biological thought was his belief that the gradation from low to high forms, in any taxon, paralleled the order of appearance in the fossil record, the order of stages in the organisms' development, and the distribution and ecology of the taxon.

		Agassiz was a highly energetic and controversial naturalist, speaker, and writer.
		Agassiz undertook detailed studies of glacier movement in Switzerland in the 1840s, and he influenced James D. Forbes, a Scotch physicist, to begin similar glaciological research in the French Alps.
		Agassiz and Forbes were initially close friends, but they became bitter enemies over questions of priority and integrity in their glaciological discoveries.

	Symposium on Creation VI
		Agassiz was disappointed when his brilliant son, Alexander, decided to study engineering instead of biology, and also when he went to work for a copper mine instead of for the museum.
		At first Agassiz was reluctant to accept this explanation, but he began to study existing glaciers and became convinced that in times past glaciation was very extensive and did a great deal of work in sculpturing valleys and leaving striations on the rocks as evidence of its former presence.
		Agassiz may not have understood all the problems in evolutionary theory, but the fact remains that he did oppose it and was the chief opponent among the men of science.

		Agassiz spent much of his free time in New Hampshire where several historic and natural landmarks today bear his name including Mt. Agassiz in Bethlehem NH and the Agassiz Basin gorge also known as Indian Leap in Woodstock, NH.
		Agassiz made revolutionary contributions to the study of natural science with landmark work on glacial activity and extinct fishes.

		In Agassiz himself the vitality of his studies and the vitality of the man are easily identified.
		Now it happens that Agassiz, considered in his philosophical relations, was a Platonist, since he clearly believed that the forms of nature expressed the eternal ideas of a divine intelligence.
		It was no chance utterance of Agassiz when he said that a year or two of natural history, studied as he understood it, would give the best kind of training for any other sort of mental work.

		The following is a rough translation of the text of one of the three chapters that Louis Agassiz added to the 1869 French Translation of his Essay on Classification, under the title of De l'Espece et de la Classification en Zoologie.
		This obscure piece that was added to the 1869 French translation of Agassiz's 1857 essay on classification is Agassiz's single clearest statement about the details of this conflict that he percieved between the observational facts of nature and Darwin's theory of evolution.
		One of the difficulties of reading Louis Agassiz's works is his tendency to spell out an argument in an obscure publication or a footnote, and then to allude to it in vauge terms in many other publications.
