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

and the building otherwise dam

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.
Major S. H. Cumbaugh, then
tead of the mathematics depart
nent, said installation would mean
hat the university wvould have the
>est astronomical instrument in
he state and one of the best in
he South. Classes in astronom y
ave been conducted regularly for
he past few years and the course
as become a regular part of the
niversity curriculum.
