Candlelight
Corner
By Arnold Schulman
Business of playing the chimes in the Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower
at the University involves not only musical ability but a great deal of
physical exertion. Here Monte Howell, Jr., University honor graduate
of 1946 and an instructor in the University Musio Department, who now
plays the chimes, is shown at work. The interested bystanders are
Jeanie Ferrier (left), University senior from Clemson, S. C, and Jane
Hutson, senior from Winston-Salem.
The Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower is the gift of John Motley More
head III and the late Rufus L-. Patterson II, two prominent University
alumni.

During the summer it takes more
than just musical ability to play the
chimes in the Morehead-Patterson
Bell Tower at the University of North
Carolina.
You can take the word of Monte
Howell, Jr., of Chapel Hill, master bell
ringer that the job aso takes a lot of
physical exerction.
Howell, who received his A.B. in
music with highest " honors here in
June and is now piano and organ in
structor in the University Music De
partment, can be found literally
"knocking himself out" on the carillon
between 6 and 7 o'clock every even
ing. He is usually surrounded by a group

favorite tunes.
The son of Dr. A. C. Howell of the
University English Department and
Mrs. Howell, Monte is in charge of the
nightly chime concerts only until Sep
tember when he will leave for Har
vard University where he has been
awarded a scholarship in English. He
wears the Phi Beta Kappa key, wa3
president of the band, and member of
the highest honorary society on the
campus The Golden Fleece.
The bell tower in vrtiich Monte takes
his nightly workouts was the $100,000
gift of John Motley Morehead III and
the late Rufus L. Patterson, II, two
of the University's most prominent
alumni. It was formally presented to
the University at services here on
Thanksgiving Day prior to the Carolina-Virginia
football game in 1931.
The structure, built on a knoll,
stands some 200 feet above the sur
rounding country and is visible in all
directions for many miles. The land-
scaping, lined witn $z,uuu wortn oi
box hedges, has been widely acclaimed
for its outstanding beauty.
The chimes, winch are heard daily
on the campus, are an exact replica of
the famous West Point chimes and con
sist of twelve bells, ranging in weight
from 300 to 14,300 pounds. They are
fortunately controlled electrically, and
there is no apparent need for the
white-haired hunback with long yel
low fangs commonly associated with
bell towers to swing from the bell
ropes.
The tower has a self-regulated
clock with four dials, each nine feet
in diameter. The dials automatically
light up at dusk and extinguish at day
light. The dials face due north, south,
east and west.
