Abstract
ON June 27, Amherst College, Massachusetts, conferred the degree of M.A. upon Mr. Lundin, of Messrs. Alvan Clark and Sons, the following being President Harris's characterisation:—“CARL AXEL ROBERT LUNDIN: Scientific expert in cutting and fashioning glasses of great telescopes. He has done important work on the large objectives of Russia, of the Lick and Yerkes observatories, and lately on the 18-inch objective of the Amherst College Observatory, which is wholly his work. In 1854 Amherst conferred the degree of Master of Arts on Alvan Clark, who had built our first telescope. The same degree, for a similar service, is conferred on his successor, who has kept pace with the progress of astronomical science.”
