Steward Observatory (549 words)
Lavinia Steward was interested in donating $60,00 to the university as a memorial to her late husband, Henry B. Steward.
The observatory's director, Douglass, had been worried that the vibrations from the trains to the south of the university might interfere with the functioning of the telescope.
When Steward Observatory was dedicated in April 1923, inauguration ceremonies were combined with the dedication to honor Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, the new UA President who had been hired in the fall of 1922.
