Excerpt from Statement of Work Done at the Harvard College Observatory During the Years 1877-1882 IN the autumn of 1878 an effort was made to secure for the Observatory an annual subscription of five thousand dollars for five years. It was claimed that, with this, the current work could be doubled, and that much progress might be made in reducing the large amount of past observations which had been accumulating for several years. It was also anticipated that the results attained would be sufficient to justify the continuance of this annual increase by means of an endowment. About seventy ladies and gentlemen of Boston and vicinity responded to this call, and by their generous aid have placed the Observatory in its present improved condition. As the subscription terminates this year, the last instalments being payable next March, the present seems to be a proper time to show how far the promised results have been attained.
