Practical Astronomy:

The School of Practical Astronomy was founded
in 1881 on a gift by Leander J. McCormick, a
native of Virginia, resident in Chicago, and on supplementary
contributions by William H. Vanderbilt
and others. Professor Ormond Stone, the first incumbent,
has been director since 1882.
