Lee, Class of '41, who earlier had climbed the 161 steps to the top of the tower.
On the ascent Lee was greeted by Lory-Moran just outside the chimes practice room, where she and Jenkins were "wood-shedding" sections of the "Bellman's Suite." As he resumed his climb, strains from "Andante con Moto" set a gentle tempo and reflective mood for the remainder of the ascent.
Mage also mentioned Lee's pamphlet on the Cornell chimes, something of both a moral and technical guide to proper performance of the instrument, which is still given to all Cornell chimesmasters.
