Class of 1959 Memorial Chapel. Leitz Elmar 5cm

I am fortunate to have some really interesting and curious-minded people come to me as patients.  I like to draw them out when possible, partly to distract them from the general unpleasantness of having to be in a medical facility.  But also, their lives and the accompanying stories are what engages me about my job as an X-Ray tech.  About a month ago, a gentleman came to visit my exam room.  Somehow, this time the keyword was "harpsichord". He said, Did you know that there's a Memorial Chapel to the Class of 1959 next to the Business School in Allston?  There's a harpsichord in there and they give concerts.  The place is less than a mile from our home, so this morning, on the way to the supermarket, I went to investigate.  Here is a link to the Wiki article for the history and background to the building.  I was fascinated by the very unusual clock that resides in the slim tower shown in the Extra.  The gold-leafed sphere moves up and down the glass tower, reaching its zenith at midday.  The lines on the tower indicate the hours as the sphere moves on its vertical cycle.
