Scientific paper

Personnel problems in astronomical observatories are discussed. A staff of resident or near resident astronomers is required if the instrumentation is to be maintained. Terms of appointment at the observatory for resident and visiting staff are featured. A committee of astronomers is required for suggesting time allocation to visitors. Programs fall mainly into three categories: service, directed, and statistical. Although instrument assistants are now indispensable, the astronomers' presence during most observing time is highly advisable.
