On Easter Sunday, April 5, there will occur at the request of the donor, Mr. C.R. Crane, the first official ringing of the Lowell House bells, which have been heard off and on for the past few weeks. It is expected that some relative may represent Mr. Crane, who is at present abroad. The bells are to be rung all day, with slight intervals of respite.

Perfect conditions of weather are necessary for the best playing of the bells, according to the present ringer, Adrian-off, formerly a Russian citizen. On summer evenings they should be heard for over 15 miles. At present the Russian finds practice necessary to recall some of the old tunes which he used to play on similar bells in Russia. Special care must be taken on cold days to warm up the metal by gentle taps, otherwise cracking might easily take place.

A special exhibition was put on for the benefit of the CRIMSON reporter who investigated the bells. With his right hand the ringer plays on cords attached to the four smallest instruments, and at the same time uses his left to man-oeuvre by means of wires all the other bells except the three largest. The 15-ton monster is operated by two men, while the next two in size are also rung by the Russian, using a foot pedal.
