On April 28, 1956, director of the National Science Foundation, Alan T. Waterman, dedicated the Harvard College Observatory's 60-foot radio telescope, the largest in this hemisphere. The George R. Agassiz Radio Telescope was built with the aid of a $132,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. The new telescope supplemented the 24-foot telescope that already existed at the Agassiz Station, making the Observatory one of the most expensive facilities for radio astronomy research in the United States.
