DescriptionA tall tower with a clock in both visible sides. The tower and buildings on either side of it are covered in ivy. Printed on verso: 'The Main Building is the oldest building on the campus. The bell in the Tower is used to summon students to classes, and it is a tradition that it be rung by Furman freshmen after every Furman Football victory. This tradition grew out of a practice carried on during the War between the States when the bell was rung after every Southern victory.'
