Abstract
Alexander Agassiz (1892) pointed out that John Anderson, who subsidized the Anderson School of Natural History established on Penikese Island for Louis Agassiz, refused to move the summer school of marine biology to Woods Hole. After the second session of the Penikese laboratory in 1874, it was permanently closed. Other naturalists, especially some of the students of Louis Agassiz, established summer marine laboratories at various places over a period of time, but it remained for Alpheus Hyatt to found a summer sea-side laboratory at Annisquam on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, which grew into the most famous marine institution on the east coast—the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole, Massachusetts (Dall 1902, Conklin and Lillie 1928, Dexter 1974).
