chimes for the Margaret Stanton memorial
tower, at the Iowa StGtc college, have ar
rived at Newport News, from the foundry
of John Taylor & Co., Loughborough, Eng

week. The frame which is to hold the bells
in place in the tower is now being con-
structed. The chimes were tested at the
foundry by Arthur Page, a noted English
organist and expert who says the bells are
among the finest he has ever heard.
In his report Mr. Page says, "The bells
are, in my opinion, of quite unusual ex-
cellence; the tone is resonant, full and
mellow. Even when quite close to them
there is no element Of harshness, while from
little distance they are very pure and
sympathetic"
There are ten bells in the set and each
bell has an appropriate inscription on it.
The date of the dedication Of the chimes
has not yet been decided.
