Summary

Description
English: Astronomy was once a simple hobby of Dr. Gustavus Wynne Cook, Philadelphia banker. He grew so absorbed in it that he spent $100,000 on his equipment, including a 28½-in. telescope. Now his observatory is a scientific institution with paid astronomers on duty. - Life Magazine Jan 2 1939
