Harvard TO REVIVE
ASTRONOMY WORK
Return of Prof. Bailey to
Peru, ,Precludes Greater
Activity.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. December s.
Harvard's astronomical work In Pc
.ru. the scope of which has been some-
what reduced in recent years. Is ex-
pected to take on new Importance
with the return there Of Prof. Soion
]. Bailey to; take charge of the OBJ
servatory at Arequipa. Prof. Bailey
has been the acting director OF the
Harvard College observatory here since
the death of Prof. Edward C. Picker
ing in 1919, until the recent appoint
ment as director Of DR.. Harlow
Shapley of California. He expects
to sail for Peru within few montns.
To Study star Clusters.
In addition to building up the gen
eral work of the Arequipa station, ~
is expected that Prof. Bailey VIII
pIetion the study of globular- star
clusters, which has been his own
special contribution to the astronom-
ical research conducted under the
auspices of Harvard.
1t was Prof. Bailey. himself VINO
first went to Perue in 1889 on behalf
of the Harvard observatory to estab-
lish South American station Tor
the observation of the southern SKY.
The Harvard astronomers were then,
as now, euSdScu III " hdt ihA6H W
called a comprehensive survey of the
millions Of stars in the sky. with spe-
cial reference to the magnitudes ana
spectra of the individual stars.
Peru Ideal Location.
From the observatory at Cambridge
1t is never possible to see more than
three -fourths of the heavens. Prof.
Pickering. as director, believed that
to make the Harvard work complete
it would be necessary to establish
an auxiliary station in the southern
hemisphere, and Uriah A. Boyden, a
Boston engineer. bequeathed the
funds which made possible the full
f1llment Of Prof. Pickering's dream.
So Prof. Bailey went to Peru. The
high altitude. dry climate and clear
atmosphere made Arequipa a superb
place for astronomical work. The
observatory there has served con-
tinuously as an auxiliary station to
determine the magnitudes and spec
ira of southern stars, and in other
respects to round out the studies un-
dertaken at Harvard.
