one now possessed and reverenced for its memory as coming here from France. That astronomy is becoming a popular part of the -school's curriculum is evidenced by the larger class this year than ever before. Undex the leadership of Do Wulf it is. probable that many additions vrlll be made year by year and a greater interest be shown by students In their taking as one of their studies this most fascinating of bcIences. As the plans of Greater Notre Dam.e call for the removal of the present building to another elte, perhaps Just to ths east of the present observatory" or to the west of the entrance to the campus, the future sky-line cf the buildings of the university will be conspicuously marked by another dome.
