| | Philip Fox Obituary |
 | | Fox thus came to the directorship of the Dearborn Observatory, his most important astronomical position, a man of wide training and experience, and he threw himself enthusiastically into work with its 18 1/2-inch refractor. |
 | | Happily married (his widow and four children, three sons and a daughter, survive him), located in a congenial university community, surrounded by scores of friends, artists, musicians, and scientists, and equipped with a telescope with which, as he so fully demonstrated, useful contributions to knowledge could be made, his situation was well-nigh ideal. |
 | | As for Fox himself, though for a brief period he was technically “out of work,” he found plenty to do to occupy his mind and hands with astronomical research, music, art, and the activities of the Officers’ Reserve Corps. |
