tions recently passed by the board urg-
ing the selection of one of the peaks
north of Pasadena as location for the
proposed big telescope, which has re-
Gently been donated to the Chicago uni

further states that the matter will be
brought before the trustees of the insti-
tuition and expresses hope that favorable

not be considered.
