WC Podcast: Ringing of the Thompson Chapel Bells

Ben Cohen '10	Ruth Ezra '10	Elizabeth Kaufer '10

Now that the Thompson Memorial Chapel is ringing again, campus residents and neighbors may be interested Ben Cohen '10 of Valley Stream, Newe York; Ruth Ezra '10 of Ithaca, New York; Elizabeth Kaufer '10 of Pittsford, New York; Lindsay Merrell '10 of Lowville, New York; William Slack '11 of Decatur, Georgia and Kristen Williams '10 of King Of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

Each day (except when special events preclude it), one of these valiant carillonneurs climbs the tower to the chamber containing the College's chime of 10 bells -- whose ringing levers challenge even the most intrepid pianist at first. Seven days a week at 12:50, 4 and 7 p.m. (6:50 p.m. on Mondays) they coax melodies to delight and beguile us from 10,762 pounds of bronze-cast by the Meneely Bell Company of Troy, NY and installed in the autumn of 1904.
