nounced recently.
The receiving group is the As-
sociation of Universities for Re-
search in Astronomy, Inc.,
(AURA), of which the University
is one of eight participating mem-
bers.

on Kitt Peak in the Quinlan

Sculpture Gift
To Be Erected
The modernistic sculpture given
.o the University by the Class of
1958 will probably be erected in
the lobby of the Undergraduate
Library the first of the week, Irv-
ing E. Palmquist, assistant Uni-
versity architect, said yesterday.
Explaining that the large slate
slab which will serve as the base
of the structure arrived last week,

work in a few days.
As soon as the three by seven

did preliminary design work on
the solar instrument at the Uni-
versity's McMath-Hulbert Observ-
atory at Lake Angelus, near Pon-
tiac.
Prof. Keith Pierce of the as-
tronomy department, who assisted
in the design, has gone to Tucson
to organize AURA's headquarters
there.
"The solar telescope will be
several times larger than any now
in existence," the" NSF report
stated. It will be about twice as
powerful as the one now in use on
Mt. Wilson in California, the NSF
claims.
Located on Reservation
The United States Congress has
appropriated $1 million to build
a road to the observatory site,
which is located on a Papago In-
dian reservation. Completion of
this road will allow construction
of the instruments and buildings
to begin, with completion expected
within one year to 15 months.
AURA has leased 2,400 acres
surrounding Kitt Peak, a moun-
tain sacred to the Papagos, ac-
cording to the NSF report. AURA
was formed in 1957 with Prof. Leo
Goldberg, chairman of the as-
tronomy department, heading the
organizational committee.
The funds for the telescope
were granted last December and

Charles E. Odegaard, former
dean of the University literary col-
lege, was inaugurated Friday as
the new president of the Univer-
sity of Washington.
Odegaard, 47 years old, said in
his inauguration speech higher
education is society's "insurance
policy" for a guarantee of a better
future.
"All our universities, the young
in years in company with the
ancient and venerable, must build
around our civilization that wall
of intelligence and understanding
needed to restrain the eroding
forces of ignorance and brutish-
ness which could engulf us all,"
Odegaard said.
The former dean who left here
last spring for the new post, suc-
ceeds Henry Schmitz as the 'Uni-
versity of Washington president.
