last been set into operation and placed in the hands of an able scientist in the person of Ex-President Holden. The second provision contained in the L,ick will, as to the disposition to be made of the completed telescope, should be the occasion of especial gratitude and pleasure in the hearts of all students and friends of the University, as well as to all who bear interest in scientific advancement. It is as yet too early to speak of the practical results accomplished by the observatory, which has just been made an integral part of our University. Sufficient time has not elapsed in which to hold such a department to account ; the great eye of the telescope has scarcely been turned towards the heavens, but its vision is clear, and its revelations are noted by skillful investigators. The exactness and power it has already dis- played give ample promise of riches of truth in store for astronomy of which we now have little idea. How the genius of man proves victorious over his own misgivings ! The pro- ject of constructing such an enormous telescope has been removed from the doubt which enveloped it from the outset the vagary of a dreamer said the skeptical, a doubtful experiment said the more kindly, but scarcely more hopeful. The Lick telescope is now an accomplished fact, the possibilities of which are before us. It stands a monument to the bold conception and generous heart of the man whose mortal ashes lie entombed beneath its foundation masonry. 10
