Show Following a preliminary presentation to the donors, it was felt some type of conceptualized version of the tower was needed and several sketches were prepared for this purpose. One of the earliest, while rejected by Lawrence T. Dee because "it looked too much like a section from the Golden Gate Bridge," nevertheless retained certain features that eventually found their way into the completed structure. A mission call to the Stewart's interrupted progress on the tower for a period of time, but toward the latter part of 1969 the architectural firm of John L. Piers was commissioned to design the carillon tower. A previous contact with Schulmeric Carillons, Inc., had resulted in a presentation by Mr. John Gulick, their Western Regional manager and the decision by the donors to install a 183 bell carillon instrument in addition to a full sized four cast bell carillon was made. The company would also supply a four faced clock to surmount the tower. Following several preliminary sketches a final decision was reached on the configurations of the tower and following the donors acceptance a scaled model was constructed. Original plans called for the completion of the tower during Homecoming Week of the college in October of 1970. Plans of the school and donors were first released to the general public in March of 1970. Considerable interest was shown to the project by newsmedia Frank Francis, Chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee of the Institutional Council and President William P. Miller announced details of the project. |
