Beaumont Tower marks the site of Old College Hall-the first building in America erected for instruction in scientific agriculture. A gift from John W. Beaumont (class of 1882), the tower was dedicated in 1929 and renovated in 1996, making possible weekly carillon concerts throughout the year. Beneath the clock is a crisp Art Deco relief, "The Sower," by sculptor Lee Lawrie.

The carillon is played every Wednesday at noon for 30 minutes during the school year, with additional noon recitals subject to volunteer carillonist availability. Generally on the first Wednesday of October, November, December, February, March, and April, the tower is open to the public during the noon recital and guests can climb the 73 stairs to the playing cabin, which is behind the clocks, to observe the 6th University carillonneur, Jonathan Lehrer, play the 49-bell carillon. Several current and former carillon students assist in playing and schedule special tours.

Each July, the Muelder Carillon Series brings guest carillonneurs from around the world for a recital on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. You are invited to bring a picnic and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful music of the carillon.

Welcomes athletes, coaches, sports officials and their families.
