to the observatory, where her trained
eye discovered what many astronomers
had spent d lifetime seeking. This dis
covery was but an incident in her
twenty-five years Of study here.
She is the only woman listed In the
quinquennial catalogue of Harvard
To her falls the duty of examining all
photographs of the heavenly regions

From Carnegie Foundation Fund.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, October 1.-The an
nouncement was made here tonight that
at meeting of the executive committee
of the trustees of the Randolph Macon
system of colleges, held Thursday, it
was formally known that the Randolph
Macon system has been officially barred
from participation In the Carnegie
foundation fund for the pensioning of
school teachers Following the war
among the trustees regarding the ques-
ton whether or not the Woman's College
at Lynchburg, a Randolph Macon in
stitution, was owned by the Methodist
Church, the Carnegie foundation trustees
have officially adjudged that it is so
owned, this decision having been for
warded to the trustees Of the Randolph
Macon system in Virginia.
The barring of the Woman's College at
Lynchburg from participation in the fund
is now applicable, through this decision,
to all other schools In the Randolph
Macon system. The fight waged fiercely
around the Woman's College several
months ago. One of the provisions of
the Carnegie fund, and practically the
only one, is that it shah not apply to
schools owned by states or churches.
