		Henry Draper finished his undergraduate degree at NYU in 1857 but, being only twenty, he was too young to graduate officially, so he took a “gap” year and travelled to Ireland.
		Draper was determined to put his knowledge of photography to use in the context of astronomy.
		Draper was not a full-time astronomer; he was also a doctor in Bellevue Hospital, New York for eighteen months before joining the NYU teaching staff in 1860 as professor of physiology.
