Per the weblink given below and the college website, the chime has undergone renovation in 2007 with an acquired 1927 Meneely chimestand and in 2008 when the bells were rehung by Meeks, Watson & Co. with new clappers and action, and added electric quarter strike.
Pitch of heaviest bell is F in the middle octave.
The chime strikes every quarter hour, and with different choruses during holidays and also special events.
