The Lick Observatory was founded by JAMES LICK, by his deed of trust dated September 21, 1875. This deed devotes the sum of $700,000 to the purpose of purchasing land and constructing and putting up on such land

* *

*

*

a powerful telescope, superior to and more powerful than any telescope yet made, and also a suitable observatory connected therewith." The deed further provides that "if, after the construction of said telescope and observatory, there shall remain of said $700,000 * any surplus," the surplus shall be invested, and that "the income thereof shall be devoted to the maintenance of the said telescope and the observatory connected therewith, and shall be made useful in promoting science; and the said telescope and observatory are to be known as the Lick Astronomical Department of the University of California." The gift of Mr. Lick was accepted by the Board of Regents December 7, 1875.

Mr. Lick had already, in August, 1875, selected Mount Hamilton, in Santa Clara County, as a site for the observatory. Land for the site (1,350 acres) was granted by Act of Congress, June 7, 1876. One hundred and forty-nine acres additional were purchased by Mr. Lick; and a tract of about forty acres was added by gift of R. F. Morrow, Esq., in 1886. The north half of section 16 of the township was granted to the University for the use of the observatory by the Legislature of California in 1888. This land (320 acres) is continuous with the grant from the United States. A road, twenty-six miles long, from San José to the summit of Mount Hamilton, 4,209 feet above the sea, was constructed by the county in 1876, at a cost of about $78,000.

The work of construction was begun by the Lick Trustees (R. S. Floyd, Esq., President) in 1880, and the observatory was delivered over to the Regents of the University, June 1, 1888. Mr. Lick died October 1, 1876; and on January 9, 1887, his body was removed to Mount Hamilton and sealed within the base of the pier of the great equatorial.
