This is the Center in more ways than one. It was kept constantly in mind when organizations planned their functions. From this core and around it revolved student activity, whether it was a cup of coffee between dosses, moments of relaxation listening to music, a stolen kiss in one of the lounges, or a routine business meeting, a conference on childhood delinquency, a banquet, an appetizing meal, or o formal dance. Even the Sesquicentennial centered in this building when it was dedicated as part of the program. Frontier Room

CUTLER TOWER When a student sits in a class and waits for the bell to ring, at least he has the consolation of knowing that it will ring. That ' s more assurance than stu- dents of by-gone days had. For bock when school bells were in vogue, even in college, pranksters were ever present. From the bell in old Cutler Tower extended a rope, which hung down to the janitor ' s closet on the first floor. Every hour the rope was pulled to ring the signal for class exchange. More than once it was late. This usually sig- nified o missing rope. Only a short, frayed remmont would remain. And another student culprit had apparently accomplished his job. Installed in 1820, the old bell now stands silent within the tower. Its use- fulness has been replaced by automatic bells. Cutler Tower, itself, has under- gone the evolution of a university ' s age.
