Spainhower noted that state allocations do not cover such expenses. He said, ‘‘State funds give us the money for bricks and mortar, but the margin of excellence of the college comes from private funds.” EUROPEAN vy ‘Ii The state’s largest reflector telescope has been developed by WSC Mj Professor, Dr. Craig Grundy as an aid to astronomy classes.
