Altgeld Chimes, Bell tower at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, United States.
The Altgeld Hall Tower contains fifteen bells weighing seven and a half tons, with the largest bell measuring five feet in diameter.
The chimes were installed in 1920 as a gift from graduating classes between 1914 and 1921, along with the United States School of Military Aeronautics.
The Altgeld Ringers student organization performs daily concerts during class sessions and special occasions throughout the academic year.
Visitors can hear the chimes play every weekday from 12:50 to 1:00 PM, marking the passage of time across the university campus.
The wooden chimestand keyboard, located seven stories above ground, allows musicians to perform the university song Illinois Loyalty.
