...meeting was characterized by the utmost warmth and loyalty. The speeches were of the greatest interest. No one who heard the "Reminiscences of Louis Agassiz," by one who knew him so well, will forget the eloquent tribute paid to the great man's intellectual sincerity, to his generous devotion to his work, to his unflinching theism. "Why Harvard is better than Yale" was ably demonstrated by a Yale...
