		Edward Everett, inaugurating the Dudley Observatory of Albany; and it is believed that the reissue of that speech in its present form will be acceptable to the admirers of that distinguished gentleman, not less than to the lovers of Science, who hung with delight upon his words.
		An astronomical observatory, in the general acceptation of the word, is a building erected for the reception and appropriate use of astronomical instruments, and the accommodation of the men of science employed in making and reducing observations of the heavenly bodies.
		This was the avowed object of the foundation of the observatory at Greenwich;[A] and no one subject has received more of the attention of astronomers, than those investigations of the lunar theory on which the requisite tables of the navigator are founded.

		The Dudley Observatory affair grew out of Bache's involvement with the movement to establish a national research university at Albany and his quest to establish a cardinal point for the determination of longitude relative to European observatories on the North American continent.
		Dudley and other citizens of Albany, the needed instruments, including a heliometer, were to be procured and mounted within the Dudley Observatory for achieving the desired accuracy.
		Dudley's desires to leave the management of the observatory in the hands of scientists and the removal of Trustees who differed with their opinion was fraudulent.

		By the time the observatory building foundation had been laid, the country was in an economic depression, and with nearly all of the money raised having gone to the purchase of the telescope (which cost about $9000, a considerable sum in those days), the project was without any money for its completion.
		The Observatory continued to be used for public education as well as for research by graduate students and others at the University of Cincinnati.
		President John Quincy Adams observed in his 1843 dedication speech that while the Observatory’s FUTURE was bright it was also an equally significant tribute to the vision of the citizens of Cincinnati and an example to the rest of the nation.

	13-inch Fitz-Clark Refractor
		Research, led by Jim Zebrowski, indicates this to be the former Fitz from Dudley Observatory - 12.5 focal ratio, thin glass w/ thin air-spacing, brass cell and adjoining countercell similar to Allegheney's.
		Among his larger telescopes were two 13" telescopes, one made for the Allegheny Observatory in 1861 that is still in service, and one for the Dudley Observatory in Albany, New York.
		Further research strongly suggests this lens to be the Dudley Fitz: A focal ration of f/12.5 "thin glass", with postage card air spacing, a brass cell and adjoining countercell consistent with the twin at Allegheny.

		Dudley Observatory announces its Bergan Career Development Award competition, which provides one or in special cases two grants, in the amount of $8000 each, to be awarded to persons nominated by chairpersons of departments of physics, astronomy or earth and planetary sciences, at universities and four-year colleges in the State of New York.
		The motivation for this Award is the fact that many new faculty with minimal track records in research may find it difficult to compete for research grants in the early years of their careers; moreover some institutions find it difficult to provide adequate funding for research start-up for new faculty or research staff.
		Nominations for the Award are solicited by the President of the Board of Trustees of Dudley Observatory from chairpersons of appropriate departments in universities and four-year colleges in the State of New York.

		Alan French, a member of the Dudley Board of Directors, was intrigued by the idea and approached the board with it.
		When negotiations began with the Dudley Observatory, we were well aware that the telescope that Dudley had purchased to replace the Fitz might find itself under that same roof as its predecessor.
