The observatory, which is expected to be completed by the end of this year, will be operated under the supervision of the University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy. It is being financed partly by a grant of $102 300 from the National Science Foundation to be used for equipment, and in part by contributions from the Mees family and the Eastman Kodak Company to provide for the development of a site and the construction of buildings.
