. The Biological bulletin. Biology; Zoology; Biology; Marine Biology. ANTON DOHRN 17 the Station, and a theoretical one, the "Urgeschichte der Wirbelthiere". Each step on the path of these two things I have visioned beforehand, as an artist first sees the complete work of art and then starts to create its Dohrrfs model was Goethe's ideal of harmonic humanity (harmonische Mensch- lichkeit)22, that is, the unity and harmony between what one can do and what one wants to do. That Dohrn acquired this balance is shown by the fact that, after having absorbed the directive influences exerted on him during his early years, from about 1870 on, he did not start or maintain any close friendships. By then he relied only on himself. This was true with regard to the Station and also with regard to his family. Anton and Marie Dohrn had four sons (Boguslav, called Bux, b. 1875; Wolf, b. 1878; Reinhard, b. 1880; Harald, b. 1885) and a daughter who lived only one year (1876-1877) (Fig. 9). Anton Dohrn was a loving and caring father, his letters to his wife are full of plans and projects about how to help their sons' intellectual development; they too were something to be shaped according to his wishes. Although the administrative and social duties of the Station were a heavy burden for him—and his health suffered in consequence—Anton Dohrn would not share this responsibility. He was convinced that, having to answer only to himself he. FIGURE 9. Anton Dohrn and his family.
