THE BELLS OF WEBER STATE .... Conceived as a vague image by an obscure dreamer, a lofty carillon tower was included in the master plan of Weber State College. As a distant goal; aesthetically valuable and culturally sound, it would require funding from private sources inasmuch as state funds were not available for such a project. Conceived as a symbol and institutional landmark by the State Building Board, of the campus with the some source of revenue In 1968 the dream off and presented to the tower was included in the master Donnell & Elizabeth plan distant hope that at some future time would be found to finance such a dream. was picked up by another dreamer, dusted two other dreamers: Stewart, who caught the vision; and what previously had been a vague image began to assume more definite proportion and shape. w= ‘a ng LE — “ rr | th se nent Ctetalty ~ fees de nal ree ae ’, Wie .

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.

The company would also Supply a four faced clock to surmount the tower. Fol- lowing several preliminary sketches a final decision was reached on the configurations of the tower and following the donors acceptance a scaled model was constructed. al 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. —— = es z => 1 D 22 x a The structure, located in the heart of the campus, would be 100 feet high from the base to ground level and would be surrounded by a plaza area, a reflecting pool and a performance room where the console for the carillon would be located.

PK NARa CNR % ‘ "THE BELLS OF WEBER STATE" The Schulmerich-Eijsbouts cast bronze bells installed in the Stewart Carillon Tower, represents a combination of american engineering ability and old world craftsmanship at its finest. Cast in Asten, Holland by the Eijsbouts Netherlands Bellfoundry LTD., the bells carry the endorsement of the Netherlands Carillon Society. Two types of carillon bells are actually used in the Stewart Tower. The large full size cast bells are visibly suspended below the clock faces and produce the hour strike and play the familiar Westminster Chime melody. The tower also houses an electronic carillon instrument of 61 Flemish, 61 Harp, and 61 Celest bells for a total of 183 bells; the largest carillon of bells in the state. The electronic carillon instrument is housed in the base of the tower and consists of miniature precision tuned bell metal tone generators, struck by metal hammers as their tone sources. Because its action duplicates that of a metal clapper striking a cast bronze bell the tones are produced in the traditional manner of a large cast bell carillon. The sound is then amplified and relayed through stentors or Speakers positioned near the top of the tower to produce true bell tones undisinguishable from a carillon of full sized bells. The instrument can be played manually from a dual manual keyboard console located in the base of the tower or activated through an automatic roll player or clock controlled accessories in the structure. AS a major point of interest, bells through the centuries have been interpreted as a voice to the people and following this tradition the Bells of Weber State carry inscriptions selected by the donors as an admonition and challenge to all who hear their message. The Jatin inscription together with the translation is as follows: Mr. Bell No. 1 - Scientiam Discite Bell No. 2 - Sapientiam Capite Bell No. 3 - Virtutem Bell No. 4 - Deum Donors and Mrs. of the Donnell who have band equipment, retained Amate tower love the years.

The bells, which were cast in Asten, Holland, are inscribed in latin as an admonition to those who hear them. Cast in 1970, the bells arrived on the Weber campus in August of 1971. Because of the interest shown they were placed on display in the Science Lecture Hall the hope of were distributed It was the original intent to have all of the bells photographed and copies placed in the base of the tower for visitors inasmuch as the inscription and detail would not be discernable when placed in the tower. However, the best plans of men often go astray it seems, and ironicly enough, after many months of waiting and considerable discussion as to the responsibility for installing the bells, a sudden decision to do so was made and two bells were in place before a photographer got to the scene to photograph the remaining two. The bells pictured here--"Vitutem Agite” (Practice Virtue) and "Sapientiam Capite" (Gain Wisdom) represent the two intermediate bells. The smallest bell "Scientiam Discite" (Learn Understanding) and the largest bell "Deum Amate" (Love God) complete the “quartet.” The largest bell weighs approximately 1,000 lbs. and the total combined weight is approximately one ton. = Mr. John greatest engaged one of the world's Klein, had been carillonnuers, to demonstrate the instru- ment and play a recital during When a final dedicatory services. for confirmation of the request desired program was requested by Mr. Klein and the Schulmeric people we were actually committed without the sure knowledge that everything would be completed as We held our breath, promised. and anxiously crossed our fingers, watched the construction crew battle with continuing adverse Mr. John weather conditions. representative a Schulmeric Klein, Pennsylvania, from Sellersville, arrived in Ogden on Sunday, in the height of December 12th, a blizzard and was most congenial and understanding of the prevailHe was on the site ing conditions. by 8 o'clock Monday morning the instruthe he tested where 13th, Howard to Mr. and pronounced ment electrician-engineer Russell, the that Inc., from Schulmeric, instrument was perfectly installed and beautifully "voiced."

MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ........ Wilson DONNELL AND ELIZABETH STEWART The gift of the Carillon Bells and Tower by Mr. and Mrs. Donnell B. Stewart is best summed up as a “Gift of Love” from the donors to the college and community it serves. Memorializing all former students, faculty, administration and governing boards, the carillon and tower represents a unique symbol of the growth and development of the college from an infant academy beginning to its present four-year status. Mrs. Donnell (Elizabeth Shaw) Stewart is the grand daughter of Thomas D. Dee, early community leader. As a student she attended Weber as a high school and college student and graduated in 1925. She developed a great love for music while attending college and became an accomplished pianist and organist. In ad- dition to private study, she graduated from USU and has attended the U of U, BYU, and Columbia University. After teaching both at Weber College and in Ogden City schools she married Donnell B. Stewart, a classmate and former Weber College studentbody retirement from president. Mr. Stewart returned to Weber State after his the Air Force to obtain his BS degree in business management and graduated in 1966. He has served on the Alumni Board and is a member of the Weber State College Development Fund Board. In recent years gifts from the couple have been applied to nearly every segment of the campus community including student loan funds and music scholarship programs. Funds for the purchase of instruments, special scientific equipment, motor vehicles, building programs, library grants, athletic scholarships, and marching band support have been received. A major contribution was directed toward the development of the museum in the new science lecture hall. The Mary Elizabeth Dee Shaw Scholarship Fund, memorializing Mrs. Stewart’s mother, has provided assistance for over 100 music students since 1964. An athletic scholarship program has also been developed by Mr. Stewart who was an active participant in athletics during college. In addition to their support of the college, many worthy community charities and programs have been funded. The couple have been honored for their many contributions to the college and community and were named “Alumni of the Year” by the associated students of Weber State College. They are recipients of the “Distinguished Alumni Awards and a “Presidential Citation” presented by college president William P. Miller in recognition of their interest and support. You are cordially invited to attend the Dedication Ceremony of the Stewart Carillon and Tower at Weber State College Tuesday, December 14, 1971, at 12:00 Noon. An invitation is also extended to attend a special Dedication Recital featuring renowned carillon artist John Klein at 8:00 p.m. that evening at the carillon site. Parking areas east of the Tower and west of the stadium will be reserved for spectators and you will be able to witness the recital either at the base of the tower or in your automobile. am Original plans called for the dedication to be held outside at the site adjacent to the tower. The day prior to the dedication the weather was mild and pleasant but another cold front moved in Tuesday, ( December 14th, and with a stiff wind chill factor dropped to below zero. decision moved the dedication to the Auditorium with President William P. conducting the ceremonies. blowing, the A last minute Union Building Miller : 1 h t - : kee | 7 : , 4 7) ; j » 44, : ay » if « ‘ ’ | Approximately 200 people attended the ceremonies, including representatives from state and local government, as well as school officials, faculty, students and friends.

The presence of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence T. Dee, Elizabeth's aunt and uncle, was of particular significance for a number of reaons. Asa member of the board of trustees of the Mary Elizabeth Dee Shaw Foundation, "Uncle Lawry" had played a significant role in the project and had given great Support from its inception.
