Erected on the site of College Hall, the College's first office-classroom building, the tower is the gift of the late Mr. and Mrs. John W. Beaumont. Mr. Beaumont was a member of the class of 1882 and served 12 years as a member of the State Board of Agriculture. Interior of the tower has been more or less sacred, open only to the caril- loneur and to meetings of Tower Guard. The current shortage of campus office space has made necessary the use of two floors of the building as temporary offices for several new instructors in the Basic College. Dr. William C.
