		In 1856, shortly after his elevation to the presidency, Barnard, the former Chair of Physics and Astronomy convinced the Legislature to appropriate funds to order the largest telescope in the world for the University and to construct an observatory for it on campus.
		Barnard's telescope was subsequently purchased by the Chicago Astronomical Society in 1863, and was given in trust to Northwest University in 1887.
		That telescope, together with Barnard's collection of physics instruments, would have allowed the University of Mississippi to become the foremost institution in America for the study of physics and astronomy.

		Barnard College proper was organized in 1889, as an indirect result of efforts conducted for some years by Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard and others interested in the higher education of women to induce the trustees of Columbia to admit women to its courses upon equal terms with men.
		Upon the reiterated refusal of the trustees to go further in this direction than to grant the degrees of Columbia to women able to pass the requisite examinations, a movement was started in 1888 to establish a separate woman's college, which, however, should be affiliated with Columbia.
		Although as originally organized Barnard had no further financial resources than the promise of a number of persons to pay a small sum annually for four years, it has been able, through subsequent subscriptions, to meet all the expenses of a rapidly growing college.
