Abstract
Swiss-born geologist Louis Agassiz helped create modern glacial theory in the nineteenth century, but he did lasting harm in the name of science by promoting the idea of superior and inferior races. In this essay, I tell the story of a curious monument to Agassiz in Maine and weigh its political and cultural implications.
