Major Higginson began his address with a short account of Professor Agassiz's life, especially that part relating to his marine work and to the upbuilding of the Calumet and Hecla mine, a feat he accomplished only after hard and protracted labor.

In short, it is his duty to see to it that his class has a crew on the river every...
