Bailey to take charge of the observatory al Arequipa. Pro- f9ssor Bailey has been the acting di- rector of the Harvard College ob- servatory here since the death of Professor Edward c Pickering in 1919 until the recent appointment as director of Dr. Harlow Shaplay of California. He expects to sail for Peru within a few months.
 In addition to building up the gen era1 work of the Araquipa station it is expected that Professor Bailey will lind an opportunity to push to com pletion the study of globular star clusters which has been his own spe- cial contribution to the astronomical research conducted under the au- spices of Harvard.
