	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Harkness Tower
		Harkness Tower is a prominent Gothic structure at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, built from 1917 to 1921.
		The tower was constructed as part of the Memorial Quadrangle donated to Yale by Anna M. Harkness in honor of her recently deceased son, Charles William Harkness, class of 1883.
		Harkness Tower is 216 feet (66 m) tall - one foot for each year since Yale's founding at the time it was built - with a square base rising in stages to a double stone crown on an octagonal base, dissolving at the top in a spray of stone pinnacles.

	Harkness Tower lacks funds for renovations \| Sep 10, 1999
		Plans for the renovation of Harkness, originally scheduled to be repaired along with the rest of Branford, have been stalled indefinitely because of a lack of funding.
		The original timetable for the construction slated both Branford and Harkness Tower for renovation from May 1999 to August 2000.
		When Harkness Tower finally does become inaccessible to the Carillonneurs, they will be able to train their "heelers" on the brand new, $65,000 set of practice bells Dean Greene bought for the Guild.

	Yale University Guild of Carillonneurs - Harkness Carillon and Guild Information
		Harkness Tower was born amid the tumult of war.
		And it was within the Tower that the carillon was assembled; the mechanism by which the Tower now floods the campus with a bright rush of sound, the pealing of bells.
		As a result, the tower is a pleasant blend of contradictions: the substantial, immobile foundation contrasts with the fine, intricate tracery near the crown.

		The tower was constructed as part of the Memorial Quadrangle donated to Yale by Anna M. Harkness in honor of her recently deceased son.
		Harkness Tower is 216 feet tall, with a square base rising in stages to a double stone crown on an octagonal base, dissolving at the top in a spray of stone pinnacles.
		It was built of separate stone blocks in the authentic manner, and was at the time the tallest free-standing stone structure in the world; more recently it was reinforced with steel in order to more safely bear the weight of the carillon bells that were added in 1961.

	YAM March 1998 - Yale's Tallest Tales
		Stephen Harkness funded Harkness Tower with the provision that everything built within view of its top must be of the Gothic style, resulting in the York Street coverup.
		As a result, the statue, the rest of which is a dull gray-green, has a left toe that has been rubbed shiny, and the story seems for all practical purposes as old as the statue itself.
		Tower has fairly recently become the subject of a superstition.

		The entrance to the tower is just inside the gate to Branford; climbing the spiral staircase, one first encounters a carpeted room about a third of the way up Harkness, which is on the level of Vanderbilt Hall's roof.

	Yale Daily News - Deconstructing the Elm City's edifices
		It is often easy for Yale students to lose themselves in the James Gamble Rogers-designed bubble that is the Yale campus, while the shadow of Harkness Tower and its ilk obscure the architectural brilliance of the city at large.
		Begrudgingly known to most Bingham Hall students as the droning bell tower that maddens late night insomniacs, Trinity Church is a stunning artifact of early 19th Century Gothic Revival and one of the finest of its day.
		While these towering stalagmites are integral to the Green's architectural landscape, the Green owes much of its irregular pulse to the variegated facades that surround the churches.

		The dean finally noticed and sent help, as is a dean’s job, but although his last year or two were much happier, Harkness worried thereafter about the fate of quiet or “average” men in the huge mass of Yale.

		But back before the privatization of time, people looked to the clocks of banks, courthouses, schools, and churches to keep track of their day.
		For those of us who still do, Yale maintains clocks on several of its buildings, including Harkness Tower, the High Street bridge, Timothy Dwight College, and the Divinity School's Marquand Chapel.
		Most of Yale's clocks are now electric -- among the clocks that are currently working, only the one on Harkness Hall still has a pendulum movement.

	Our Mission Statement
		Depending on how one defines a carillon, there are now about 600 in the world, 190 of them in North America.
		For a small state, Connecticut is blessed with ten. Five of these are quite large, (49 or more bells). The Foreman Carillon has 55 bells; First Presbyterian Church in Stamford has 56, United Church of Christ in West Hartford, 50, Trinity College, 49, and Harkness Tower at Yale, 54.
		In making the gift of the carillon and the organ to the church, it was the wish of the Foreman family that these instruments would enhance church services and stimulate the greater community to a broad interest in quality music. Consequently, the Farmington Valley Music Foundation was formed in 1987.
