EXERCISES AND THE BIG BELL

"It was proposed that all our religious and college exercises be announced by our Brother Engineer in letting off steam; but finding this arrangement inconvenient, the Council determined that only at 11:30 A.M. shall the steam whistle be heard" May 29, 1864

"It was resolved that the steam whistle should be heard at 7:00 and 4:30 A.M. and also at 1:00 and 6:00 P.M." April 11, 1864
