The Campanile

This guide to the Campanile at UC Berkeley follows Jane Sather, a widow who grew up listening to New York church bells and spent a quarter century after her banker husband's 1886 death funding gifts to the university across the bay, the grandest a granite tower meant to carry a chime like those she remembered. You'll hear how her twelve bells were cast in England, and what happened trying to get them across an Atlantic turned into a World War One battleground. She never lived to hear them ring.
