Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—The council of the Senate reports that it has had under consideration the position of the study of astrophysics in the University in connection with the offer of the Royal Society to give to the University the equipment of Sir William Huggins's observatory. It is of opinion that the time is opportune for giving further recognition in Cambridge to astrophysics. With the approval of the general board of studies, the council recommends to the Senate the establishment of a professorship of astrophysics, without stipend and limited to the tenure of office of the first professor.
