This mistaken idea has arisen from comparisons between a true carillon and the many poorly tuned bells which are sounded in c h u r c h towers throughout this country, Profes- sor Moore explained.

It is very similar to the instrument which is to be purchased and installed in the Burton Memorial Campanile, by the alumni classes which attended the University during the pr esidency of the late Marion LeRoy Burton, in whose honor the project has been created. ENGULFING A NATION! who attended, a concert in Lough- borough, where one of the foun- dries now producing perfect bells is situated, says that the music is more than impressive, that it is deep and spiritual, and that it pro- duces a more profound feeling than a church sermon. "Its mem- ory lingers longer than the words of any speaker that I have ever heard," he adds, "and after hav- ing heard my first concert I re- mained in Loughborough almost two weeks longer than I had origi-1 nally planned to hear two, more demonstrations. The listeners re- tired to the homes of people liv- ing in the vicinity, usually about a half mile from the bell tower, and listened to the program which usually lasted about fifteen minutes at the most becausetof the strenuous physical exertion required to play the instrument." Professor Moore, who has studied carillons throughout Europe is a member of the purchasing com- mittee which has been chosen by the classes of '21 to '28 to buy the carillon to be installed here. Bok Owns Notable Set There are a few notable caril- lons in this country, the most fa- mous of which has been bought by Edward Bok and placedgin a beautiful tract of land in Florida called the Bird Sanctuary. This sanctuary has been created by Mr. Bok as a bird reservation and he has built a bell tower there and installed a carillon which is con- sidered oneeof the most melodious in existence. Plans have not yet been adopted Marion LeRoy Burton, but the for the campaign for the bell University of Michigan club of tower itself which is to be called Ann Arbor which has undertaken the Burton Memorial Campanile this project will soon announce its in memory of the late President organization.
