Olcott was the professional astronomer's ideal amateur. He was willing to put up with the regimentation, systemization and discipline of the field in exchange for the opportunity of contributing to astronomy. Olcott's profession was law, and through its ritual and hierarchy, he was capable of flourishing under the command of professional astronomers like Pickering.
