East Lansing, Michigan
(517) 355-1855
Beaumont Tower marks the site of Old College Hall - the first building in American erected for instruction in scientific agriculture. A gift from John W. Beaumont (class of 1882), the tower was dedicated in 1929 and renovated in 1996, making possible weekly carillon concerts throughout the summer. Beneath the clock is a crisp Art Deco relief, "The Sower," by sculptor Lee Lawrie.
