Yerkes was one of the first places that physicist Albert Einstein visited in the United States, and astronomer Edwin Hubble, the namesake of the Hubble Orbital Telescope, earned his doctorate degree in astronomy there.

OSU let their radio telescope, which had been running the longest SETI project in history, get turned into a golf course and condos in 1998. Don't let it happen again.
