Although the love of learning is more widespread now than ever be- fore in the history of the civilized world, nevertheless that love does not. park the true spirit of the present age, Professor Boak aver- red .He said that the two chief foes of learning are materialism and mediocrity. The latter he charac- i terized as "a very insidious foe to the loveof learning, one which de- rides the members of honorary so- cieties as being mere acadmic grinds-an accusation which' they can 4i pruve by mere reference to statisile howing the future suc- ce: of persons who are honor stu-.. dents In college" "Tiere Is only one true love of learning," Professor Boak contin- ued.

PLANS ARE BEING DRAWN Shirley Smith Makes Purchase; Prof. Curtiss Approves of Location. First steps toward the comple- tion of its plans for a new astro- nomical observatory were taken by the University yesterday through the purchase of-a 200 acre farm. The site, which was bought from Dr. W. W. Newcombe, lies along the left bank of the Huron river be- tween Dexter and Pinckney. The purchase, which wasmade by Shirley W. Smith, secretary and business manager of the University, has the approval of Prof. Ralph H. Curtiss, director of the Astronomi- cal observatories, and is believed to be a splendid location for the purposes. It also had the approval of the late Prof. William J. Hussey, whom Professor Curtiss succeeded in the astronomy department. "It includes a commanding elevation, close to, but not directly on a main highway, and is entirely removed from smoke, vibration, city lights, and other conditions which have in recent years continued in increas- ing degree to make modern astro- nomical study impossible in the present observatory at the corner of Ann and Observatory streets in Ann Arbor," said Mr. Smith. Will Fill Vital Place. In placing the requirements of the University before the last ses- sion of the legalt u, time Regeuts cited the needs of the obsrvatory first, "because they are so vital, be- cause they have been neglected so long, and because the observatory since its founding in 1854, just 75 years ago, has deserved so well of the University and the tate." Architects' plans have already been drawn for an observatory de- signed to house a 75 inch reflecting telescope and which will provide accommodations for all the re- quirements of modern astronomical investigation. Present Site Bad. There have been many objections to the present site and equipment of the observatory. As the report states, "it is wholly impos;ibl to carry, in the present observatory, scientifie work meeting noden standards aid upholding the past reputation of' Michigan's as trono mers because of two factors, lack of facilities and location. The pres- ent telescope has been a good one in its day, but is now greatly out- distanced by the modern instru- ments at Harvard, Mt. Wilson, Ohio Wesleyan, and Victoria, B. C. The 75 inch reflector which is planned, however, would be the second in size in the country. The other ob- stacle is the most serious and one that can be overcome in only one way, by mroving the observatory to a new location outside the city of Ann Arbor. The present building is now surrounded by the University hospital and other structures of the University and the city; smoke by day and the city lights by night fa- tally hamper accurate observation, and the jar caused by nearby pass- ing trains and street traffic puts delicate scientific work out of the question.
