ILLUSTRATIVE EXTRACTS ON HIS METHOD OF INSTRUCTION
WITH AN INTRODUCTORY NOTE
BY
LANE COOPER
PROFESSOR OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE IN CORNELL UNIVERSITY.
The beauty of his better self lives on In minds he touched with fire, in many an eye He trained to Truth's exact severity; He was a Teacher: why be grieved for him Whose living word still stimulates the air? In endless file shall loving scholars come The glow of his transmitted touch to share.
—Lowell, Agassiz.
