...fall of 1914 he became a member of the Department of Mathematics at Harvard. As a teacher he was successful from the beginning. Clear, interesting, vivacious, he imparted to his hearers an understanding of the subjects treated, which served as a firm foundation for further study. In research he was exceedingly productive, and in the brief span that was accorded him for his scientific labors he has given to the world a notable series of memoirs in his special field of projective differential geometry...
...recognizing the fact that most boys can not spend more than four years in an engineering school. These four years will be largely of prescribed subjects; but the fifth and other graduate years will usually be made up of elective courses in special fields or will be devoted to research.

At least two years of the first four can be anticipated in college by those who wish to have a general education before entering the school and such men, as well...
...rare for a research worker of the first rank to be also a real teacher of his subject. It is even rarer for such a man to prove that he is not a mere cultured ornament of a practical world but a strong support in time of need. Professor Sabine was all three.

But the building of the Fogg Museum started him on a career of investigation and invention which has been unique...
