Bepartment uf Qstrunump A course in Astronomy was included in the required work of the Seminary from the beginning in 1837 until the granting of the College Charter, when all courses were - made elective. The first telescope, six inches in aperture, was purchased in 18 5 3 and sheltered in a small observatory near the site of Williston Hall. In 1881 the john Payson Williston Observatory, the gift of Mr. A. L. Williston, Was completed. Its principal instruments are an eight- inch Clark telescope, mounted equatorially, a three-inch meridian circle and a Gaertner measuring machine for astronomical photographs. In IQO2 a lecture room was added to this building, and facilities for elementary observa- tion Work were greatly increased. Miss Bardwell, the first Miss YOUNG director of the observatory, began her Work here in 1866. After her death in 1899 she was succeeded by Miss Youngq Upon the first Wednes- day evening of each month the observatory is open to visitorsg 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.

fi ff LFIVIHHHD Eepartment of Botany Botany was included by Miss Lyon in the curriculum of the first year, 1837-1838, and until 1851 was a required subject during two or three years of the course. In 1897- 1898 it became entirely elective. Many names are in- cluded in the list of those teaching the subject between 1837 and 1851. In the latter year, Miss Lydia W. Shat- tuck beeame head of the department and directed its interests until her death in 1889. Since that time, until 1908-1909, Miss Henrietta E. Hooker was in charge of the department. Miss Lyon's hcrbarium was the nucleus of the present collection, to this Miss Shattuck added her hcrbarium and whatever other plants she was able, by her efforts, to secure. The botanical gardens were begun MISS STOKEY in 1878 by Miss Shattuck, and the first gardener, Mr. Charles Bates, was appointed in 1882. The first small plant house was destroyed by fire in 1896. The present range of houses was the result of the generosity of several individuals, the largest gift coming from Mr. and Mrs. James Talcott, for whom the arboretum is named. The most recent addition is the Wright Plant Physiology Laboratory. ALMA GRACEY STOKEY, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Acting Head of the Department B.A., Oberlin, Ph.D., University of Chicago, .
