In 1971, Van Vleck Observatory acquired the 24-inch (0.06 meter) Perkin reflector telescope. Boller and Chivens, a subsidiary of the Perkin-Elmer Corporation, manufactured the 24-inch telescope for Mr. Richard S. Perkin in 1966. After Mr. Richard S. Perkin’s death in 1969, the Perkin family donated the telescope to Wesleyan University.
