I took this photo of the Purdue Bell Tower when we toured Purdue University with my son a couple months ago. He's anxiously awaiting an acceptance letter from this college. Tick, tock, tick, tock!
Interesting Facts
Through a gift from the class of 1948, a new bell tower was completed in 1995. The new tower stands 160 feet tall and, like the original, has a clock on each of its four faces. The bells from the original Heavilon tower hang at the top of the tower and are struck by electric clappers to ring at the hour, half-hour and end of classes. In addition, a computerized carillon plays Purdue's fight songs and the alma mater at 12:20 pm, 5:00 pm, and 10:00 pm. At the base of the tower is a time capsule that is to be opened in 2095.(Source Wikipedia)
