Peddle Bell Tower, Paris Yates Chapel, University

Thirty-six stunning bronze bells in the new Peddle Bell Tower ring out a message of inspiration in the daily life of a great American public university.

The crowning touch of the Paris-Yates Chapel is the Peddle Bell Tower and its carillon. Cast in a Dutch foundry, the bells are connected by cables to a keyboard at the base of the tower. The keys permit a carillonneur to perform on the instrument that also can be operated by a computerized, automatic system to ring out the hour and half hour, and special music such as The University of Mississippi alma mater. The bells play a group of songs daily at 5 p.m.
