A short distance away from the square lies the Cambridge Common, while the neighborhood north of Harvard and east of Massachusetts Avenue is known as Agassiz in honor of the famed scientist Louis Agassiz.

The Cambridge elementary school north of Harvard University was named in his honor and the surrounding neighborhood became known as " Agassiz " as a result.

He supplied crinoid specimens to Agassiz in Cambridge and to the British Museum.

He graduated from the Lawrence Scientific School at Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1851, where he worked with Louis Agassiz.

From 1927 until 1946, he was director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology founded in 1859 by Louis Agassiz at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

* Agassiz ( Harvard North ) ( Area 8 ) is bordered on the north by the Somerville border, on the south and east by Kirkland Street, and on the west by Massachusetts Avenue.

In 1873, a private philanthropist ( John Anderson ) gave Agassiz the island of Penikese, in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts ( south of New Bedford ), and presented him with $ 50, 000 to permanently endow it as a practical school of natural science, especially devoted to the study of marine zoology.

This has occasionally prompted the renaming of landmarks, schoolhouses, and other institutions which bear the name of Agassiz ( which abound in Massachusetts ).

Senator Henry Wilson of Massachusetts was to name Agassiz to the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian.

The Oak Ridge Observatory, also known as the George R. Agassiz Station, is located at 42 Pinnacle Road, Harvard, Massachusetts, and was formerly operated by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics as a facility of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory ( SAO ).

The neighborhood, however, continues to be known as Agassiz.

Agassiz was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland and immigrated to the United States with his father in 1849.

After Agassiz came to the United States he became a prolific writer in what has been later termed the genre of scientific racism.

Agassiz eventually immigrated to the United States and taught at Harvard University in 1846.

The cydippid ctenophore Pleurobrachia bachei A. Agassiz, 1860 was named for him ; it was discovered in 1859 by Alexander Agassiz who was working as an engineer on a ship surveying the United States / Canada boundary between Washington State and British Columbia.

Agassiz Township is a township in Lac qui Parle County, Minnesota, United States.

A return of the ice for some time offered a reprieve, but after retreating north of the Canada – United States border around 10, 000 years ago, Lake Agassiz refilled.

After Louis Agassiz came to the United States he became a prolific writer in what has been later termed the genre of scientific racism.

In 1855 he became professor of geology and palaeontology at the polytechnic school of Zürich, but relinquished this office in 1859, and in 1861 again returned to the United States, when be assisted Louis Agassiz in founding the Museum of Comparative Zoology.

Humphreys Peak ( latitude 35-20 ' 47 N ) and Agassiz Peak ( latitude 35-19 ' 33 N ) are the two furthest South lying mountain peaks in the contiguous United States which rise to a height of more than 12, 000 feet above sea level.

Polygenism came into mainstream scientific thought in America in the mid 19th century with the work of several corresponding natural scientists such as Samuel George Morton and Charles Pickering as well as Egyptologist George Gliddon, the surgeon Josiah Clark Nott and more prominently the paleontologist and geologist Louis Agassiz in the United States.

A Thursday night contra dance at the Fresh Pond Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Cambridge is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States, in the Greater Boston area.

Cambridge is home to two of the world's most prominent universities, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The first president ( Henry Dunster ), the first benefactor ( John Harvard ), and the first schoolmaster ( Nathaniel Eaton ) of Harvard were all Cambridge University alumni, as was the then ruling ( and first ) governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, John Winthrop.

Soon after, turnpikes were built: the Cambridge and Concord Turnpike ( today's Broadway and Concord Ave .), the Middlesex Turnpike ( Hampshire St. and Massachusetts Ave. northwest of Porter Square ), and what are today's Cambridge, Main, and Harvard Streets were roads to connect various areas of Cambridge to the bridges.

The coming of the railroad to North Cambridge and Northwest Cambridge then led to three major changes in the city: the development of massive brickyards and brickworks between Massachusetts Ave., Concord Ave. and Alewife Brook ; the ice-cutting industry launched by Frederic Tudor on Fresh Pond ; and the carving up of the last estates into residential subdivisions to provide housing to the thousands of immigrants that arrived to work in the new industries.

Cambridge is located in eastern Massachusetts, bordered by:

The population density was 16, 422. 08 people per square mile ( 6, 341. 98 / km² ), making Cambridge the fifth most densely populated city in the US and the second most densely populated city in Massachusetts behind neighboring Somerville.
