Abstract
The first century Roman philosopher, Seneca said, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity" (Think/exist). That adage seems an apt descriptor of Anna Botsiord Comstock's life. However, it is tempting to blend an additional ingredient into Seneca's preparation and hard work formula - patience. For that is exactly what Anna Comstock had to practice before she received the opportunity to introduce nature study to countless numbers of teachers and school children in the early 19OO's.
