The Tower of music

 

The tower was constructed between 1917 and 1921 as part of the Memorial Quadrangle donated to Yale by Anna M. Harkness in honor of her recently deceased son, Charles William Harkness, an 1883 Yale graduate. When the residential college system was inaugurated in 1933, the tower became part of Branford College.

Yesterday we had the experience of going up the Harkness tower, which apart from having many stairs, plays music every day, but the funny thing is that it is played by people who must have the ability to play the notes that They hang from very long and strong cables.
