Abstract
WITH the dedication of the new McGregor Building and Tower Telescopeon May 25, 1940, the McMath-Hulbert Observatory of the University of Michigan became perhaps the most complete and powerful installation on earth for the study of the sun. This new addition brings to a total of three the buildings of the Observatory, located at Lake Angelus, Pontiac, Michigan; and besides affording opportunities for studies of the heat, magnetic, and other energy conditions of the solar surface, gives the Observatory much-needed working and office space together with a beautifully equipped modern machine and instrument shop.
