...Alexander Agassiz the country has lost one of its most constructive minds, Harvard one of her greatest sons. Versatile in achievement, as in interests, he left upon his many activities the stamp of genius. He contributed greatly to the advancement of science by his illuminative studies and his extensive deep-sea exploration, as well as by organizing and supporting the scientific inquiries of others.

The expedition was mainly in search of young caribou, to be captured alive and brought to a post of the Deep Sea Fishermen's Mission at St. Anthony, Newfoundland, in the hope of introducting them into a large herd of domestic reindeer...
