Clark Hopkins, Professor of Classical Art and Archaeology, returned this fall after a year ' s leave spent traveling and studying in Greece. Well known to archaeologists through his published studies, he has mana ged, too, to teach a course in Great Rooks and to be an academic counselor in the Lit School.

His particular project is unique in that he has carried it on in South Africa since 1927. Although the work on the discovery and measurement of double stars was completed three years ago, the photographic plates of the Southern Milky Way were finished only last August. With the aid of the Mt. Wilson and Palomar Observatories, Dr. Rossiter hopes to gain new insight into this small scale stellar universe. 23
