Today's festivities, which coincide with Old Gold Day, began at 9 a.m.
when DePauw senior Tom DeWitte of Rochester, New York, climbed the stairs
of the 37-bell carillon tower and made his way across scaffolding to an
elaborate keyboard linked to each bell clapper. His carillon concert was
enjoyed by a crowd that gathered in the courtyard below the tower.
