The Bell Tower in front of Paley Library at 13th Street and Berks Mall is the approximate center of the campus, and was meant to be an inspirational meeting place for Temple students. The five bells, weighing 3,000 lbs., were cast at the Van Bergen Bell Factories in Heiligerlee, Holland. They were hand-tuned and play the Westminster chimes every quarter hour. The most interesting feature of the tower can be seen by standing under the bells. The brass plaque and what looks like solidified tapioca pudding, was a project of the class of '66.
