History students are chiming for a bell tower in Florida? This is news to me. Great news! Lacking time, I quote directly:
While there is no bell tower at Florida International University's main campus, students have been asking for one for years, says Ruth Hamilton, director of the Graham University Center, which houses a conspicuous clock.
"Especially the history students," says Hamilton, who remembers bells ringing at Mount Union College in Alliance, Ohio, where she was a student in the 1970s. "When you go to Europe, you see bell towers. When you go to the Ivy League, you see the bell towers. Bells touch people in many many ways. Spiritual ways. Intellectual ways."
