*Links:

The University Website has a campus map which locates the Bell Tower.  On the related popup window, the photo can be opened separately (by some Web browsers) to obtain a larger image, but the most of the text is outside the frame and thus unreadable.  A little detective work has made it separately accessible here. The campus map identifies as "State Hwy.355" what is shown as state highway 19 on other maps.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of unknown bellfoundries, in this region and in the world.
