Excerpt from The Evolution of the Earth and Its Inhabitants: A Series of Lectures Delivered Before the Yale Chapter of the Sigma 11 During the Academic Year 1916-1917 During the collegiate year 1916-1917, the conduct of the Yale Chapter of the honorary scientific society of the Sigma Xi was entrusted to my guidance, and in order to render the meetings of the chapter as profitable as possible, a symposium was proposed on the geological and biological evidences for the evolution of our planet and the earth-borne life. I therefore asked such of my colleagues as were authorities on the several subjects involved to prepare addresses to be delivered before the chapter and later to be published in the form of the present book. The course of lectures was as follows: The Evolution Of The Earth And Its Inhabitants Lecture I. The Origin of the Earth, November 23, 1916, Professor Joseph Barrel!. Lecture II The Earths Changing Surface and Climate, December 13, 1916, Professor Charles Schuchert. Lecture III The Origin of Life, January 24, 1917, Professor Lorande Loss Woodruff. Lecture IV. The Pulse of Life, February 15, 1917, Professor Richard Swann Lull. Lecture V. Climate and Civilization, April 20, 1917, Doctor Ellsworth Huntington. The scope of the combined essays is of necessity very broad, ranging as it does from a conception of the universe to the trend of modern civilization. Thus the first chapter deals not alone with the genesis of the earth but of the parent solar system, and, the earth having been established, its history is traced until the time of its becoming a fit environment for the abode of life.
