Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 4

Excerpt from The Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 4: June, 1903 to May, 1904 White limestone of the base giving prom ise of a handsome structure. This base is 24 feet 6 inches square and will rise to a height of about 20 feet, above which the red brick of the main shaft will begin. By commencement week the tower will probably be built to the beginning of the brick work - in other words will have risen some 20 feet from the ground. The total height will be 95 feet and as the campus at this point is about 115 feet above sea level the tower will rise about 210 feet above the tides. It will be a prominent object in the landscape from the valley sections of the city, and travellers passing through Providence on the trains will mark its great height and beauty. The tower is being constructed by the J. W. Bishop Co. Of Providence from the designs of Guy Lowell, architect, of Boston.
