The first telescope, six inches in aperture, was purchased in 1833, and sheltered in a small observatory near the site of Williston Hall. In 1881, the John Payson Williston Obser- vatory, the gift of Mr. A. L. Williston, was completed. Its principal instruments are an eight-inch C lark telescope, mounted cquatorially and a three-inch meridian circle. In 1902 a lec- ture room was added to this building, and facilities for elemen- tary observational work were greatly increased. Miss Bardwell, the first director of the observatory, began her work here in 1866. After her death in 1899 she was succeeded by Miss Young. Since 1902 there has also been an assistant in the department. Upon the first Wednesday evening of each month the observatory is open to visitors; and residents of neighboring towns, as well as students of the college and their friends, are given an opportunity to see objects of interest with the telescope.

» 1 J Jt $ t, -------—3gp“ '------ Srpartmrnt of Art ani) ArrhamUutu MISS RANDOLPH MISS JEWETT Lectures in history of art were given at the Seminary as early as 1874, and in I 878 history of art became a regular part of the course of study. From almost the opening year instruction in drawing has held a recognized place. With the growth of the department, an appeal for an art building was made in 1896. In 1902 the Dwight Mem- orial Art Building, erected at a cost of $75,000, was opened to classes. The building includes lecture rooms, depart- ment library, studios, galleries of sculpture and painting, and a room devoted to the C lara Leigh Dwight Collection of Elbridge Kingsley's engravings. The library now includes nearly 3,000 volumes. C ollections of photographs, prints and lantern slides have been carefully selected, and over 9,000 photographs are now used by the de- partment. Through gifts of alumnae and friends the collection of casts has come to in- clude representative examples in pre-Greek, Greek, Roman and Renaissance Sculpture, with some architectural models and casts. I here is also a good beginning in original ma- terial, including examples of Egyptian pre-dynastic wares; objects of the dynastic periods in Egypt in bronze, alabaster, ivory and ter.a cotta; Greek and Roman coins, ancient vases and vase fragments. I he staff of instruction numbers six and offers twenty-one courses in art and archaeology. Studio work is done in connection with nearly every course. Dwight Hall has proved admirably adapted to its purpose of art study and exhibition. Books and illustrative material are brought side by side and the advantage is increasingly afforded of using casts and photographs, with journals, reference books, and ail standard authorities, ready at hand.

Department nf IHbliral literature MISS DUTCHER Bible study was, from the first, re- quired at Mount Holyoke. Recitations were held by different teachers on Sun- day afternoons or during Monday cha- pel periods. In 1860 certain definite sections of the Bible were prescribed regularly for each year. About 1893, as part of the transition from seminary to college, came the transference of re- quired “Bible to week-days under an instructor especially trained. The first electives were offered in 1895, and two years later the requirement was reduced from eight hours to six.
