KNOX COLLEGE I L.. , T HE OLD OBsERvAToRY The Knox College Observatory With the opening of the George Davis Science Hall this year, and the moving of the Department of Physics into the first Hoor of that building, the Observatory building, which for twenty-three years has been occupied by the departments of Physics and Astronomy, has been turned into a home for the College Y. M. C. A., and is receiving liberal usage as the center of the college life of the men on the campus. The observatory was founded in 1883 by Professor E. L. Larkin, its first Director. Professor Larkin was succeeded by Professor C. li. Thwing in l806, and in September, 1901, Professor Thwing turned the place over to Professor Longden, its present director. The Observatory stands in latitude 400 57' 30 north, longitude 900 20' 45 west of Greenwich and 13 16' 50 west of Wasliington, and at an altitude of 778 feet above the sea level. Its equipment includes an Alvan Clark six-inch telescope, provided with equatorial mountings, a small transit instrument, which is useful in the determination of latitude, longitude and time, also, a diffraction grating by Rowland, with mountings by Brashear. The Observatory also enjoys the unusual privilege of being directly connected once a day with the United States Naval Observatory at NVashington, for the pur- pose of verifying time standards. The Y. M, C. A. has litted up the two rooms on the main Hoor in appropriate style, one a room for study with a library containing all the text books used in college, the other a reading room with all the current magazines and daily papers. The entire building may be taken over at a later date for the department of As- tronomy, but until that time, it will serve a very useful purpose as the headquarters for the men of the college. I am terribly bored-joy. ew-wud!
