E. H. Harriman
Kincaid missed commencement exercises at the University of Washington due to his appointment as the entomologist attached to the Harriman Alaska Expedition. During that trip, completed before his 27th birthday, he collected about 8,000 specimens of insect, resulting in the discovery and naming of more than 240 new species, including "Mesenchytraeus harrimani", which he named after the expedition's patron, E. H. Harriman.
