Do You Know?
Where Is Blake Hall?
Only 6 out of 10 persons interviewed knew that the building between Watkins Hospital and the Chancellor's residence is Blake Hall. Most of these were upperclassmen.
The original plans for Blake Hall were drawn up in 1893 and called for a structure similar to Green Hall. When completed in 1895 at a cost of $58,000, it was known as the physics building. In 1898 it was named Blake Hall in honor of Prof. Lucian I. Blake.
Blake is built in chateau Renaissance style of native limestone and brick and was faced on the front and sides with Cleveland sandstone. No iron was used below the third story because of the interference of iron fith a galvanometer used in electricity experiments, Before Robinson gymnasium was completed the top floor of Blake was used for a women's gymnasium.
Many reasons were cited for the clock's inaccuracy. The large hands made comfortable places for pigeons to rest, said one theory, and the weight of the pigeons on the hands caused the clock to vary from time to time.
Stories about the clock on Blake date back to the early 1900's. The clock before the present one was quite erratic and consequently was the topic of many conversations and editorials. A poem about the clock was printed in The Daily Kansan on March 4, 1912, entitled "Owed to the Physics Clock," by Gruochi Guilliana.
