college situated primarily within the City of Delaware, Ohio. It was founded in 1842 by Methodist leaders and Central Ohio residents as a nonsectarian institution, and is a member of the Five Colleges of Ohio—a consortium of Ohio liberal arts colleges. Ohio Wesleyan controls property in: ● Delaware County, Ohio ● New York City, which brings University students to Manhattan for the New York Arts Program Creating and maintaining a safe campus environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors of OWU is of primary importance to the University. Members of the community should keep in mind that crime does exist and, as such, each person should assume a personal responsibility to report crime as they become aware of it to ensure the safety of all people who interact with OWU. OWU values engaging the community to be active bystanders and acknowledges that this involves all members of a community. This report contains valuable information about the crime prevention programs the University offers, the different crime that the University is aware of, and recommendations people can follow to support the community and stay safe on and off campus. Please pay special attention to the safety tips and important bystander skills. Following them will help reduce the chances of crime occurring and help ensure that everyone has a safe experience at OWU. Preparing the Annual Disclosure Report

  • American Astronomical Society Working Group on the Preservation of Astronomical Heritage
    1 AMERICAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY WORKING GROUP ON THE PRESERVATION OF ASTRONOMICAL HERITAGE CENSUS OF ASTRONOMICAL PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATES IN NORTH AMERICA FINAL REPORT October 10, 2008 ©2008 Prepared by W. Osborn and L. Robbins Abstract A census of astronomical photographic plates in North America was carried out to determine the number of existing plates as well as their locations, conditions, availability for research and other relevant information. Two hundred and four census forms were distributed to observatories, astronomy departments and a few individual astronomers. There was a 50% overall response rate, which included full or partial responses from all of the major U.S. and Canadian organizations. The census identified over 2.4 million photographs. Forty-four institutions reported holding at least some photographic plates, however the 16 largest collections account for 97% of the total. Canadian institutions hold roughly a third of the spectral plates. A number of conclusions about photographic plate archives are drawn from the census data. Background For over 100 years – roughly from the mid 1880’s to the mid 1980’s – photography was the primary means of recording astronomical observations. The result was an estimated three million or more photographs worldwide, most of which are on glass plates. The photos include direct images of objects and star fields, objective prism spectral survey plates and slit spectrograms. Well over half of the direct images and a large majority of the spectra were exposed at North American Observatories. Astronomical institutes and observatories have traditionally archived and maintained the plates taken with their instruments along with the associated observing records – date, time, emulsion type, etc.
