The UCR campus is full of eucalyptus trees and nice green open spaces. In the background you can see one of UCR's most distinguishable campus icons, its bell tower.
"Since 1966, the tower has stood at the center of campus. In 1964, Professor of Music William H. Reynolds toured existing carillons around the world and chose the Paccard Foundry of France to cast the bells.
"The 48 bells in the UC Riverside bell tower are considered some of the finest in the world. The largest bell weighs over two and one half tons. All the bells are played from a large keyboard of wooden batons in a room atop the tower. The tower and bells were the donation of Philip and Dorothy Boyd, long-time University supporters, and were dedicated in 1966. It is currently one of only five true carillons in California."
