EDWARD EMERSON BARNARD Died February 6, i923 In l895, in anticipation of the early completion of Yerkes Observatory, the University of Chicago called to its faculty E. E. Barnard, a man not yet forty, who had, by his own efforts, already won for himself distinction in visual and photographic astronomy and who had enriched science by his dis- coveries. Fatherless at his birth, in a section impoverished by the Civil War, he was able to attend school for only about two months. His determination to get an education, and to learn more of the mysteries of the heavens, lead him to devote every free moment to study. He fitted himself to 'enter Vanderbilt University and received the degree of Bachelor of Science in I887, but was in charge of the Observatory during the four years that he was enrolled as a student. At the opening of the Lick Observatory, in ISSS, at Mt. Hamilton, California, he was called to an important position on the staff. While there he discovered the fifth satellite of Jupiter, and several comets, and he also began as a pioneer to photograph the heavens, particularly the Milky Way. In his work at the Yerkes Observatory he made innumerable precise measurements and took thousands of superb photographs which he studied minutely. He was smitten with a mortal illness nine years ago, but it did not stop his work. He died, universally recognized as the foremost leader in observational astronomy, and his place can never be filled. His memory will ever remain in the hearts of his great circle of friends. His career is well characterized by the phrase: Ad asira per aspera. Page Sewezztemz
