The Extremist Arbor Anecdotes Before You Were Here Campus Characters
FRIDAY:
Explained
The pinnacle of learning
Burton Memorial Bell Tower is
the first bit of campus many people
ever see.
Driving down Interstate 94, the
tower can occasionally be seen pok-
ing through the trees, a landmark
and timepiece for residents of Ann
Arbor.
Although a number of apartment
buildings now stand taller thanBurton
Tower, including the 28-story Tower
Plaza condominium on East William
Street and the 19-story University
Towers apartment building on South
University Avenue, Burton Tower is
still the tallest building on campus.
Built in 1936 and named after for-
mer University President Marion
Burton, the tower stands 212 feet
tall. The next highest buildings on
campus are the University Hospital
and Cancer Center, both of which
are 192 feet tall.
Burton Tower contains the
Charles Baird Carillon, named for
the University's first athletic direc-
tor. It has an observation deck above
the building's ninth story where
visitors can look at the carillon's 55
bells or take in a panoramic view of
campus.
To the north of Burton Tower
is the partially-demolished Frieze
Building, where yellow construction
equipment continued to tear away
the building's crumbling walls this
weekend.
To the east, buildings in the Uni-
versity Hospital complex stand on
the fringe of campus as the trees in
the Arboretum touch the horizon.
To the south, the Hatcher Gradu-
ate Library and Michigan Union
stand out. Behind them, Michi-
gan Stadium and Crisler Arena are
barely visible. Beyond the trees that
make Ann Arbor famous, Pittsfield
Township's white water tower can
be seen in the distance.
LSA junior Tara Whipkey said the
tower is such an important Univer-
sity landmark because it can be seen
all over campus. She said she likes
to hear the bells toll across campus
each day.
Whipkey and a friend climbed the
tower on Friday to gain a new aerial
perspective on campus, she said. She
said it was a more impressive perspec-
tive than the view from the stacks of
the Hatcher Graduate Library.
The top of Burton Tower is also a
destination for students learning to
play the carillon. Engineering senior
Jin Wei Ni, who learned to play the
tower's carillon in a School of Music
class called Carillon 100, takes her
turn playing the instrument with
other carillon students.
Ni said she enjoys the view from
the building and doesn't want to see
taller buildings built on campus.
"I think it should stay the tallest
building around here," she said.

Burton Tower is the tallest building on campus at 212 feet
high. Although not the tallest building in Ann Arbor, it can
be seen from 1-94 and beyond.
