Investigations of the Interstellar Medium at Washburn Observatory, 1930-58
Journal of Astronomical History andheritage 7(2):85-94 2004 Investigations of the interstellar medium at Washburn Observatory, 1930-58 David S Liebl* University of Wisconsin- College of Engineering, 432 North Lake Street, Rm. 311, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, USA E-mail: [email protected] Christopher Fluke Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, Swinbume University ofTeclmo/ogy, PO Box 218, Victoria 3122, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Behveen 1930 and 1958, the Washburn Observatory of the University of Wisconsin-Madison was home to pioneering photometric research into the interstellar medium by Joel Stebbins and Albert Whitford. Between 1933 and 1941, Stebbins and Whitford published seminal research on the photometry of stellar reddening, using the Washburn 15-inch refractor and the 60- and 100-inch reflectors at Mount Wilson Observatory. Many factors were responsible for the Washburn Observatory's pre-eminence in this area. l11is paper reviews their research on interstellar dust during the years 1922 58, the observational teclmology and scientific methods that were developed at the Washburn Observatory during that time and the scientific discoveries that originated there. We discuss the factors that enabled WashburnObservatory to become a leader in photometry during the first half of the twentieth century. We also draw on the recollections of past and present Washburn Observatory scientists1 to understand how Washburn's standing led to a subsequent programme of research into the interstellar medium at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The resulting portrayal of Washburn Observatory provides insights into the evolution of astronomical research in America, from the beginning of the hventieth cenh1ry until today. -
Long-Range Transportation Plan
DRAFT JUNE 2007 2005 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON I. THE PLANNING PROCESS AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN This Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) has been developed in coordination with and as an element of the 2005 Campus Master Plan of the University of Wisconsin- Madison. It both responds to and helps shape the overall development plan for the campus over the next 20 years and beyond. Unlike most municipal or regional plans, this transportation plan does not call for any new roadway capacity or additional parking. It does include plans for intersection improvements—mostly to help pedestrian movement—and road realignments to boost connectivity. Parking will remain capped at its current level of approximately 13,000 spaces and virtually all of the specific improvements and program changes called for in this plan are strategies designed to make travel without a private motor vehicle safer and more convenient. For that reason, this long range plan is also the University’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan. The University has long demonstrated its commitment to TDM and has created TDM plans for specific building projects, notably the Kohl Center and Camp Randall. In 2006 the United States Environmental Protection Agency recognized the University of Wisconsin-Madison with an award for being a Best Employer for Commuters. However, it has never had a formal and comprehensive transportation demand management plan for the University as a whole. This plan will act as a guide to the University’s own goals for improving an already stellar TDM program, and respond to a new City of Madison ordinance requiring TDM plans in association with major developments. -

The visit did not include review of any Change Requests. Organizational Context The University of Wisconsin-Madison is a land-grant institution that serves as the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin System. The institution is strongly influenced by the principal of the Wisconsin Idea which states that education should influence people's lives beyond the boundaries of the classroom. -
Observatory Hill
Observatory Hill Cultural Landscape Inventory December 2005 (Revisions January 2010) Quinn Evans|Architects University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Landscape Architecture, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Division of Facilities Planning and Management ©2010, Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin-Madison Cultural Landscape Inventory Observatory Hill DEFINITIONS What is a “cultural landscape”? The following document is based on concepts and techniques developed by the National Park Service. The NPS has produced a series of manuals for identifying, describing, and maintaining culturally significant landscapes within the national park system.1 The National Park Service defines a cultural landscape as a geographic area, including both cultural and natural resources and the wildlife or domestic animals therein[,] associated with a historic event, activity, or person, or [one] that exhibits other cultural or aesthetic values.2 In 1925, geographer Carl Sauer (1889-1975) summarized the process that creates cultural landscapes: “Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, the cultural landscape the result.” 3 Similarly, the writer J. B. Jackson (1909-1996) looked upon the landscape as a composition of spaces made or modified by humans “to serve as infrastructure or background for our collective existence.”4 What is a “cultural landscape inventory”? 5 This cultural landscape inventory for Observatory Hill is one of eight such studies completed as part of the UW-Madison Cultural Landscape Resource Plan. Each inventory defines the boundaries of a distinct cultural landscape on campus, summarizes its history, describes its current condition, and makes recommendations about its treatment. In addition to these eight cultural landscape inventories, two companion documents address the archaeology and overall history of the campus. -
Albert E. Whitford
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES ALBERT EDWARD WHITFORD 1905– 2002 A Biographical Memoir by DONALD E. OSTERBROCK Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 85 PUBLISHED 2004 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. Courtesy of the Mary Lea Shane Archives of the Lick Observatory, University of California, Santa Cruz ALBERT EDWARD WHITFORD October 22, 1905–March 28, 2002 BY DONALD E. OSTERBROCK LBERT E. WHITFORD WAS born, raised, and educated in A Wisconsin, and then made his mark as an outstanding research astrophysicist there and in California. As a graduate student in physics he developed instrumental improvements that greatly increased the sensitivity of photoelectric measure- ments of the brightness and color of stars. For the rest of his life he applied these and later even better tools for increasing our knowledge and understanding of stars, inter- stellar matter, star clusters, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies, from the nearest to the most distant. He became a leader of American astronomy, and his counsel was sought and heeded by the national government. Albert was born in Milton, Wisconsin, a little village halfway between Madison and Williams Bay, where Yerkes Observatory is located. When Albert was born, his father, Alfred E. Whitford, was the professor of mathematics and physics at tiny Milton College, and his father, Albert, for whom our subject was named, had been the professor of mathematics before him. Albert’s mother, Mary Whitford Whitford, was his father’s second cousin from Rhode Island, and he had one sister, Dorothy (later Lerdahl). -
