  Note:  Twenty  years  ago  I  ventured  to  propose  one  [a  name  for 
  the  class  of  men  who  give  their  lives  to  scientific 
  study]  which  has  been  slowly  finding  its  way  to  general 
  adoption;  and  the  word  scientist,  though  scarcely 
  euphonious,  has  gradually  assumed  its  place  in  our 
  vocabulary.  --B.  A.  Gould  (Address,  1869).
