One of the Uni eisit of Washington ' s lanchnarks was tliis old cliimes tower wliicli stood at the head of campus along Memorial Way. Originally built in 1894 as a water tower, it was reconverted in 1911 to house the twehe hells donated to the University by Col. Adlen J. Blethen. For thirt)-seven years these lells tolled from the highest place on campus until fire destro ed them on Mnv 23, 1949. A spontaneous fund-raising campaign began and b ' September 9, of that same ear, the huge old bells were replaced bv thirtv-seven tinv carillon-tvpe bells. Altiiough played from a ke ' board in the basenient of the Music Building, the sound of these electronic bells is am- plified from atop Dennv Hall. in memory , , . George Bailev, a blind musician, began plaving the chimes in 1917 just three weeks before he recei ed his degree from the Universitvs School of Music. He pla ' ed through two wars, a depression, innumer- able finals weeks and football victories until his final concert on the last da) ' of summer school, 1960. In 1949 when the old lexer-operated bells were de- stroyed, Mr. Baile ' went to Princeton where he learned to play carillon-tvpe bells. On the opening day of the quarter, he returned to plav his special song for entering freshmen, Fools Rush In Where Angels Fear To Tread. His concerts, alwavs marked iy music appropriate for the time, made each dav a little brighter for the students. With George Bailev ' s death on September 6, silence broke a fax ored tradi- tion amonir Unixersitv students.
