Harkness Tower, Yale's most recognized landmark, elicits a range of responses. Rejecting its collegiate gothic splendor, Frank Lloyd Wright quipped that the only place to live in New Haven was in the tower itself, where one need not look at it. In 2004, Paul Goldberger, architecture critic of the New Yorker, rhapsodized in Yale in New Haven: Architecture & Urbanism, "The way in which Harkness Tower makes a transition from a solid base to an increasingly light, airy top, almost dematerializing as it rises, is remarkable, and has no precise precedent."
Architects may dispute as they please, but Harkness Tower offers to carillonneurs the Yale Memorial Carillon, cast by John Taylor Bell Founders in 1921 and 1964. These fifty-four bells comprise the eighth largest carillon by total weight in North America and one of the finest. Join the twenty-six members of the Yale University Guild of Carillonneurs from June 19 to June 25, 2006 for an extraordinary 64th GCNA Congress on Yale's beautiful campus as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Yale Memorial Carillon.
