Evidence

The exhibit also included the emails from Harvard about the Boston Globe controversy, and a map of all the places that had been named for Agassiz. This was where I learned that Agassiz named Agassizhorn after himself, back in 1840, before he came to the United States to teach at Harvard. — Tamara Lanier, From These Roots, 316 (#expands, via linked claim)
