December 22, 2005: Duke University Librarian ...on the Carillon
"Also resonating across the quad, beginning at 5 o'clock every evening, are the 50 bells in the carillon of the grand neo-Gothic Duke Chapel. Just before vespers, my college-shopping son and I, accompanied Mr. Sam Hammond, a true Southern gentleman and the Duke carillonneur, were uplifted to the top of the Chapel tower by its small, tubular elevator. There, I got a bird's-eye view of the beautiful Duke campus, and a bottom-up look at the bell bottoms."
