Tex., — (UP) —The 1800,1 <IOO bequeathed to the University of ’ Texas regents by the late W. J. McDonald. of Paris, Tex., for the build- • ing of an astronomical observatory will be permitted to accumulate a few years while astronomers con1 duet a survey to determine the best ’ site for the observatory. In making this announcement • President H. Y. Benedict of the uni- ‘ versity said that at least half a dozen sites will be studied. Observations will be made continuously for a week at a time on each site at each season of the year. Dr. Benedict said, so that the best possible ' I location from which to make astronomical observations can be- deter- • mined. 1 Fut thermore before observatory plans are drawn, conferences will be held with leading astronomers so as to determine the particular field in which the McDonald observatory staff should specialize, Dr. Bene- ■ diet explained. It is the attention, he continued, *o choose a site close enough to a large city that scientific apparatus easily may be obtained, yet far enough away so that observations may be made without interference I from smoke and city lights. McDonald's library of 250 books on astronomy will form the nucleus of a memorial library to be established when the observatory is opened. Dr. Benedict said. The first volume of the observatory publication will contain a biography of Mci Donald, now being prepared by Mrs. Mamie Mayfield, and a description , of the observatory. All but SIOU,OOO of the McDonald bequest has been invested in securities. Dr. Benedict said, and that I SIOO,OOO is in lands and land notes. Tentative plans call for the ereci tion of a bronze tablet containing a I quitation from McDonald’s will ■ which made possible the endowment.
