The campus highspot, a 303.5-foot tower above Founder's Hall, has more than just a causal interest attached to it. The pinnacle is the center of another tradition, the Guild of Carilloners.

Almost every day carilloners ring the tower's 30 imported bells. Coincidentally, just 30 competitors could pass the stiff musical admission test to become members. Wellesley owes these bell to Harvard. Mrs. Charlotte Greene became interested in giving them when her parents were thinking of donating a set for Memorial Hall.

New Customs

Two post-war traditions look like they're here to stay. One is Wellesley's answer to the Dartmouth Winter Carnival, Winter Carousel, which occurs around February. The other is dwelt on more fondly, Sophomore Father's Day. Perhaps, Freud would call it socialized. Electra complex. But anyhow the old man gets to see what he's been paying for, and some girls even rationalize it into the best weekend date of their college career.

Flower Sunday, on the first Sabbath Chapel, further helps the freshmen to lose "that dreadful feeling." After a fire-and-brimstone minister sent one of the first freshmen classes away weeping from his wages-of-sin sermon, founder Henry Durant insisted that the first Sunday sermon be on "God is Love." The freshmen also love the free flower bouquet that goes with it.

Well, maybe if Wellesley girls started on "Harvard Men Only," it might become a tradition, too.
