Replies from four schools agreed that the carillon has had influence on the campus, and was impressive, and that students enjoyed the music.
The objection that the bells might become annoying if played too much or too close to the campus was expressed by two letters.
Charles A. Dukes, director of alumni affairs at Duke university wrote, "We feel that our carillon has had a great deal of influence on the campus and has meant a great deal to the University life."
At the University of North Carolina early every night are played various kinds of music. It strikes the hour, but it does not call and dismiss classes.
"While pleasant to listen to on occasions, bell music can become an annoying noise if played too long, too often, or too close to places where men are trying to study."
The greatest objection was stated by Donald Sterling, chairman of the Daily Princeton, campus newspaper at Princeton.
Roland Gudiz, managing editor of the Daily Tar Heel at the University of North Carolina answered that he felt the majority of the campus feels that it adds considerable atmosphere because it is an impressive building and adds to the beauty of the campus.
"On the whole, I believe the students enjoy the music. The carillon definitely adds atmosphere," wrote Clarence Strock, editor of the Iowa State Daily Student.
The use of the carillon at the four schools varied from celebrating football games at North Carolina to calling people to church at Duke.
Daily recitals from 7:45 a.m. to 8 a.m. and from 12:55 to 1:10 are given while students are going to class at Iowa State college, but the bells do not call or dismiss classes.
