Campanile Tower SDSU

  1. I wonder why a university needs a tower, as landmark perhaps or as a look at me I am bigger then yours.

  4. Nice tower and a lovely sky. I often wonder about things like this, why universities spend so much on things like this and sports programs.

    1. The 1929 tower was a gift from Charles Coughlin, a 1909 graduate in electrical engineering. He was president of the Briggs and Stratton Co that made all those small motors. So SDSU spent nothing on this chime tower. It chimes the hour and plays songs between classes.

  5. Just read your reply above TFG.. I guessed that might be when it was built, there's a certain elegance about any kind of buildings constructed in that period.

  6. At first I was wondering how you had a picture of San Diego State University--- but then I snapped out of my Sunday evening torpor and got it right. Nice shot.

  10. A great landmark and it certainly contributes greatly to the ambience of the campus, I'm sure.
