Funeral of Prof. Agassiz.

The undergraduates of Harvard College
and the Boston Society of Natural History
have adopted resolutions appropriately no
ticng the death of Prof. Agassiz. The
funeral appointed for p. m. Thursday. in
Appleton Chapel will be devoid of for'nali-
ty in any form. A few seats will be re-
served in the Chapel for the immediate
friends of the Professor. and the rest OF
the Chapel will be thrown open freely TO
everyone who wishes to be present. Many
OF the scientific and other bodies of W hich
he was member, have expressed a desire
to take part in The funeral. but it has been
decided as more conformable with what
have been his own wishes in the matter to
decline ali such offers.
