(Honolulu I could get very little satisfactory information...)
Honolulu I could get very little satisfactory information on the subject, and I therefore determined to come and examine for myself. A ccordingly, I arranged to take my departure from Honolulu yesterday, and here I am in a cosy, homelike little hotel on the seashore, ready for the buckboard and mule that are to take me to the summit of the great volcano. COMFORTABLE QUARTERS. But I am in no hurry to leave the place where I am now stopping. Although the village is small, there are many thingt HARBOR OF HONOU M. here to interest and delight. The massive breakers which continually lash the hard, lava-lined shore, only a few rods from where I am now sitting; the luxuriant tropical vegetation which is always in sight, and the laiighter-loving troop -of native children who run up and down the beach, are objects of special admiration and study Even the little garden in front of my room is more thanr enough to arrest ones attention.

(Woman in Science-With an Introductory Chapter on Woman's ...)
Woman in Science-With an Introductory Chapter on Woman's Long Struggle for Things of the Mind is a classic women's studies/science history text by John Augustine Zahm. Many works in various languages had been written on what women had accomplished in art, literature, and state-craft, and there was, therefore, no special call for a new volume on any of these topics. But, with the exception of a few brief monographs in German, French and Italian, and an occasional magazine article here and there, practically nothing had been written about woman in science. Contents: Woman's long struggle for things of the mind -- Woman's capacity for scientific pursuits -- Women in mathematics -- Women in astronomy -- Women in phyics -- Women in chemistry -- Women in the natural sciences -- Women in medicine and surgery -- Women in archaeology -- Women as inventors -- Women as inspirers and collaborators in science -- The future of women in science: summary and epilogue.

explorer priest scientist author
Zahm was born on September 14, 1851 in New Lexington, Ohio, the son of Jacob Michael Zahm, a native of Alsace, and of Mary Ellen Braddock of Loretto, Pennsylvania.
Zahm attended the primary school at New Lexington, but in 1863 the family moved to Huntington, Indiana, and from 1863 to 1867 John Augustine studied in public and parochial schools of that place. He entered the University of Notre Dame on December 3, 1867, where he won distinction for scholarship and received the degree of bachelor of science in 1871 - one of a class of three.
After his graduation Zahm entered the Congregation of the Holy Cross on September 17, 1871. During the years following, up to 1875, he pursued ecclesiastical studies in the seminary at Notre Dame besides teaching in the University. He was ordained a priest at the completion of his studies on June 4, 1875. His activities for the next thirty years included educational service as a teacher, a lecturer, and an organizer of the Western Catholic Summer School, and administrative service as procurator general of the Congregation of the Holy Cross at Rome, 1896-1898, and as provincial, 1898-1905. From 1905 until his death he was occupied chiefly as a writer on scientific subjects and on lands and peoples. He was a contributor to the American Ecclesiastical Review, the Dublin Review, the Outlook, and other periodicals. Among his scientific and theological books may be mentioned: Sound and Music (1892), Catholic Science and Catholic Scientists (1893), Bible, Science and Faith (1894), Evolution and Dogma (1896), Science and the Church (1896). As a result of two journeys to South America Zahm produced in succession four volumes which are authoritative texts on the history and progress of the South American republics. The first of these, Up the Orinoco and down the Magdalena (1910), was followed shortly by Along the Andes and down the Amazon (1911), published under the pseudonym J. H. Mozans, with an introduction by Theodore Roosevelt. In 1916, Through South America's Southland appeared, as a result of the expedition of former President Roosevelt into South America. This expedition was made at the suggestion of Zahm and he was a member of it. The fourth South American volume, The Quest of El Dorado, appeared in 1917. Two other books, Woman in Science (1913), published under the pseudonym J. H. Mozans, and Great Inspirers (1917), are concerned, the first with the achievements of women in the physical sciences, the second with Paula and her companions as the inspiration of St. Jerome and Beatrice as the inspiration of Dante. In 1921 Zahm set out on what he announced would be his last journey, planning to recheck a completed manuscript which was published posthumously as From Berlin to Bagdad to Babylon (1922). He got no farther than Munich, where he was stricken with pneumonia and died. He was buried at Notre Dame, Indiana. He planned and directed the erection of Science Hall at the University of Notre Dame, and left his famous Dante library to the University.

In person Zahm was of medium height, well fleshed, his face normally serious; to all but those who knew him well he seemed remote and cold.
He was an American statesman and writer who served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909.
He served as the 27th President of the United States (1909-1913) and as the tenth Chief Justice of the United States (1921-1930), the only person to have held both offices.
