Event and Technical Services Man
ager Mike Kraiman.
For some University students
and faculty, Kraiman said the
chimes may have become embed
ded as an “audible reminder that
time is passing.”
But on Saturday and Sunday,
Kraiman said the chimes do not
start ringing until 10 a.m. because of
complaints that arose from students
in the residence halls who enjoy
sleeping in on the weekends.
Hurwitz said the bells’ particular
sequence of notes follows the tradi
tion of Big Ben, the bells inside one
of London’s best-known landmarks.
Hurwitz added that lots of colleges
and universities have taken on the
tradition of playing such chimes.
“It does add a special touch to the
feeling of an academic institution,”
Hurwitz said.
The currently used unit, which
can be heard approximately a mile
away from the EMU, was purchased
by the University in February 1995
for $19,000 with the help of the Uni
versity of Oregon Foundation. A
200-watt amplifier drives the bells
through speakers perched on top of
the EMU. But Kraiman said there
are no moving parts in this unit,
which means there is less of a
chance that it will break down.
Kraiman said the current unit has
never stopped or broken down. The
unit also has the capability of play
ing 10 pre-programmed songs that
have been recorded onto memory
cards, which include everything
from Canadian patriotic selections,
Beatles songs, Bach, Handel and
Rodgers and Hammerstein classics.
A keyboard can also be connected
to the machine to play live or
recorded music, and a microphone
could even be patched in to emit a
human voice.
“You could record the riff from
(Van Halen’s) ‘Jump’ and put it in
there,” Kraiman said.
Kraiman added that the Office of
the President requested that the
bells play a sequence of remem
brance songs after the Sept. 11 at
tacks. And during commencement
ceremonies in June, “Pomp and Cir
cumstance” will be projected at the
unit’s maximum volume.
The unit also plays the Universi
ty’s fight song Monday through Fri
day at noon, as well as a slower ver
sion of the song again at 6 p.m. The
original fight song, “Mighty Ore
gon,” was written by the Universi
ty’s first salaried band director, Al
bert Perfect, along with University
student DeWitt Gilbert.
Original ‘bells’
Kraiman said the original unit
that emitted the Carillonic Bells was
manufactured in 1948 by one of two
companies nationwide that special
izes in such special machines. The
company, Schulmerich Carollons,
Inc. is based in Sellersville, Pa. The
original unit created sound elec
tronically by miniature tuned bars
that were hit by hammers and am
plified sound through speakers. But
back then, Kraiman said the tech
nology was “unreliable,” and espe
cially during the late 1980s, the ma
chine “was in the habit of breaking
down quite frequently.”
“The bells were always electron
ic,” said University archivist
Jonathan House Emerald
The ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ memory
card will be played during graduation.
Heather Briston, adding that the
chimes were installed in May 1954.
Briston said the installation cost
was about $3,500, and the funding
came from the class of 1943 and
1953 and alumni donations.
Briston said University archives
record that in 1954, it was “an excit
ing time” for the campus to have
chimes. She also said there were al
ways plans to install the chimes in
the tower of the EMU student
union, where they still reside today.
“It’s one of those things where it
would be odd if they weren’t there,”
Briston said. “Every good university
should have chimes.”
