THE RECENT GIFT OF MR.. VANDERBILT CONDI-
TONED on An ENDOWMENT OF FIFTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS.
The recent announcement that 1lr ". II.
Vanderbilt had given $4,000 towards tie
acquisition OF tine Mccormick telescope for
the University OF Virginia, seemed to place
the iul frui,lon OF the great object close at
hand, for in the last report OF the Faculty,
Dr.. Harrison. the chairman, says: "Tbe
sum OF $4,000 required to be raised
TO secure the telescope proposed 10
be given TO the University by Mr. Lelndcr
| j. Mccormick has not yet been subscribed,
! but diligent endeavOrS continue 10 be made
/ i'm various ways 10 secure the requisite
amount, aud with reas sonablc hope OF sue
cess"
This would indicate that only $1,000 more
| is reeded: but we learn by telegraph from
/ Charlottesville that the donation Of $4,000
/ from Mr.. Vanderbilt to the University for
I the observatory is conditioned upon the So
curing Of $4,000 endowment fund, and
/ that of this fund $4,000 is pledged, leaving
| $50, 900 still TO he raised before tie CniYer-
sity can secure this greaty-dcsired instru-
ment.
presented 4 curious alienation OF hope and
! fear. When Mr.. Mccormick first conceived
! the plln Of presenting telescope TO his ma
| tive State he vbrated in his choice OF location
and Gift between the University OF Virginia
| and Washington and Lee University, or, in
other words, between Charlottesville and
! Lexington. During the Centennial year
| Lexington seemed 10 be in the ascendant,
anC meeting was held in its behalf in Old
/ mdependencc Hall in Philadelphia, which
was brmful OF enthusiasm. but un'
fortunately produced little or nothing
oi the main eement-money. sub
l..dueniy it was auth0ritltiyely an
ronnecd hat the University had the opp0r
tunity oi acquiring the telescope upon tht
raising OF an endowment fund Of $jo.000
and. ~ mentioned above, it appeared later
that Only $50, 600 was required; and now
the whole matter appeaTs TO be at sea agar
b. the requi>ition OF al additional sum o
S3J. .OO0. Whether this Includes the par
chase OF q site for the observatory we ai(
not advised. Some years AGO We know ina
