Evpurtmmt nf Aatrnnnmg A course in Astronomy was included in the required work of the Seminary from the beginning in 1837 until - V, the granting of the College Charter, when all courses were A ' . ' made elective. The first telescope, six inches in aperture, was purchased in 1853 and sheltered in a small observatory ' near the site Of Williston Hall. In 1881 the John Payson , ' YVilliston Observatory, the gift of Mr. A. L. VVilliston, ' . was completed. Its principal instruments are an eight- . inch Clark telescope, mounted equatorially, a three-inch I meridian circle and a Gaertner measuring machine for 'Q astronomical photographs. In IQO2 a lecture room was ' Q, ' , added to this building, and facilities for elementary observa- ...JC iff.. 7 J ,nga . tion work were greatly increased. Miss Bardwell, the first director of the observatory, began her work here in 1866. MISS YOUNG After her death in 1899 she was succeeded by Miss Young. Upon the first Wednes- day 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.

la-fm Bvpartmrnt nf Art anh Arrhenlugg t Lectures in History of Art were given at the Seminary as early as 1874, and in 1878 History of Art became a regular part of the course of study. From almost the open- ing 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 Memorial Art Building, erected at a cost of S75,o0o, was opened to classes. The build- in includes lecture rooms, de art- Mlss RANDOLPH mint library, studios, galleries of MISS JEWETT sculpture and painting, and a room devoted to the Clara Leigh Dwight Collection of Elbridge Kingsley's engravings. The library now includes nearly 3,000 volumes. Collections of photographs, prints and lantern slides have been carefully selected, and over 9,000 photographs are now used by the department. Through gifts of alumnae and friends the collection of casts has come to include representative examples in pre-Greek, Greek, Roman and Renaissance Sculpture, with some architectural models and Casts. There 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 terra cotta, Greek and Roman coins, ancient vases and vase fragments. The staff of instruction numbers six, and offers twenty-one courses in Art and Archeology. Studio work is done in con- nection 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 all standard authorities ready at hand.
