Prince consort Hopkins traveled to England to get astronomical instrumentality. His students created the observatory 1836-1838 within the center of the quad.

Today’s building still contains the initial transit, regulator with mercury-compensated apparatus, and rule.

In 1852 the firm of Alvan Clark (Cambridge, Massachusetts) engineered a 7″ optical telescope, that was fixed up for the observatory’s sesquicentennial. In 1963 the planetarium projector was put in and named in memory of Willis Milham, academic of physics 1901-1942. The observatory’s facet rooms became the Mehlin repository of physics in memory of Theodore Mehlin, academic of physics 1942-1971.
