		Struve represented the fourth generation of one of Russia's great astronomical families; his father was director of the Kharkov Observatory, but was removed from office by the Bolsheviks and died soon after.
		Hiring Struve turned out to be among the few positive legacies of Frost's tenure, which lasted until he was more or less forced to retire and Struve was made director in 1932.
		Despite this success, Struve eventually fell from favor at Yerkes, in part because of his expectations that the observatory's rising stars obediently follow his lead instead of pursuing their own interests.
