Charles S. Morris was a professor of Physics and Mathematics at Manchester College from 1926 - 1961 (36 years). He was very interested in astronomy. Morris died 12 April 1973. The Morris Observatory was named in his honor. Funds to build the observatory were provided by family, friends and former students.
