Stargazers Hay dv From Three Sit By JIM SHERIDAN f Campus Editor . Astronomy has somehow sur-I e vived at the university since 1817. t. Carrying on intemittantly through the years wvith three different ob Yservatories and a hectic history, dastronomy now has a definite place in the university curriculum. gFirst Observatory - The first observatory was built k in 1817 and had a good astronomi ,cal circle, but the equipment was aso meagre that officials were .ashamed of it and did not often .admit visitors. r In 185a, Professor Williams, .then head of the mathematics de-, partmeunt, was given $1200 to pur chase a seven-inch telescope and a $1300 was set aside to build a new - observatory. The dimensions of this building were to be 18 by 20 'feet wide, 18 feet in height and. the diameter of the dome was to be 18 feet.] The observatory was placed be- I hind DeSaussure College and $400 was appropriated to complete con struction. Equipment for the dome< was not secured until 1852 when the university put it into use. Astronomy then held no place of t importance in the college curri culum and the observatory was al- I lowed to deteriorate. The buildingr was occupied by the Confederatet Governnment and later by the Fed- I erals. During this occupancy the i observatory fell Into a state of t ruin. After the war in 1867, the tele- t scope was stolen for old brass, I wvindows and doors were broken beth Wolfe 4AIN STREET ODK Initiates. [appa, campus leadership fraternit raday night of ast week.

Tenants Varied Finally in 1884 the observatory was turned over to students for uase as a fraternity hall on condi tion that they put it in good re pair. The repairs were made and the building was occupied by these neni until 1897 when fraternities were abolished. From 1900 to 1902 the building was used for the practice school f the pedagogical department. Golfers were next in the line of v'ariedl tenants and stored their golf clubs in the building for sev 3ral years. In 1909 it was made into an of rice for Prof. W. H. Hand, rural school inspector, and Prof. W. M!. l'ate was given quarters there. Telescope Donated A 15-inch telescope was given to he university in 1919 by B. WV. ~Ianahan of Winnsboro who was hen a member of the House of Representatives in South Carolina. rhe telescope was given on con lition that the General Assembly ppropriate money to mount it. rhe sum of $2600 was secured for his purpose.
