Chimes For Wesleyan,
Gift of Mrs. Gulick
Returning alumni will be sur-prised
and thrilled to hear the
sound of chimes floating out over
the campus. They are the gift of
Mrs. Anna Gulick, who also made
Gulick Hall possible. Of unusually
sweet tone, the Westminster chimes
ring every quarter hour from 8 a.m.
to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
They will not play on Sunday. In
the morning, at noon, and in the
evening hymns are played.
The new chimes, played for the
first time March 3, were a sur-prise
to the students. The system
was installed by Leon Vanderwater,
and the only visible evidence of the
carillon system are four speaker
horns attached to the chimney of
Presser Hall. The mechanism and
controls are installed in a small
vestibule on the third floor of Press-er.
At full power the bells could be
heard any place in Bloomington.
Music for the bells is a perforated
roll similar to those used in player
pianos.
Mrs. Gulick, although not an
alumnus, has been a good friend of
the college for many years. Her
home was formerly in, Manteno,
where she taught music. Her pur-pose
in making this splendid gift is
to bring the gospel message to the
young people.
History of IWU Nearly Complete
A history of Illinois Wesleyan by
Professor Elmo Scott Watson is
nearing completion and part of it
has gone to the printers. The book
will be on sale at Commencement
time and may be ordered by any
of the alumni. Professor Watson has
spent many months on this and he
has put in long hours going over
old papers and magazines, unearth-ing
much new material. He has re-ceived
help from alumni and friends
all over the country.
Senator Scott Lucas will be one of
the speakers at "American Town
Meeting of the Air" Tuesday, March
21, when it comes to Bloomington.

the idea of federal aid to educa-tion,
and Dr. Gould will oppose it.

The broadcast will be heard coast

Senator Scott Lucas graduated
from the Illinois Wesleyan Law

to the bar, he practiced law in Ha-vana,
