From Philosopedia
Agassiz, Elizabeth Cabot Cary (1822—1907)
According to Louise Hall Tharp’s Adventurous Alliance: The Story of the Agassiz Family of Boston (1959), the Agassiz family attended King’s Chapel (Unitarian).
With her husband Louis, the famed Swiss-American zoologist and geologist, she started a boarding school for young ladies who wanted to study high school level subjects. Her experience led her to become one of the founders and the first president (1894—1903) of Radcliffe College.
