An Ultrafast Review: Decades of the 3.5m Telescope
· 1960s: several of the eventual ARC members realize that the Palomar 200" and Lick 120" should not be allowed to dominate faint object observaJonal astronomy · 1970s: same insJtuJons realize KPNO and CTIO cannot grant enough 4m observing Jme for a top quality department


Decades of the 3.5m Telescope (cont 'd)
· 1980s: mulJple friends of Roger Angel (Arizona) realize a spuncast, light weight, fast 3.5m mirror might be available for a physically small but opJcally powerful telescope · 1980s: 78 departments dance around each other; the music stops with UW, Chicago, NMSU, Princeton, WSU forming ARC


An Extraordinary Labor and Delivery
· 1984 January 26: five universiJes sign the Astrophysical Research ConsorJum agreement · 1994 May 10: ARC 3.5m is dedicated during a total solar eclipse
