Montreal Gazette (University City blog) - Tick, tick, tick. The tale of Joseph Hanaway and McGill's Roddick Gates

Tick, tick, tick and steel yourself for the bagpipes. The clock tower atop McGill's Roddick Gates will chime again, starting Friday. What? Never noticed there was a clock tower? Thanks to the persistence of McGill alum Joseph Hanaway, a retired neurologist who now lives in Missouri, the clocks and bells have been given a tune-up with a modern twist -- satellite technology.

There's a lovely story about Hanaway's gift and quest in the McGill Reporter. It seems that Hanaway, who graduated from McGill more than 50 years ago, always wanted to hear the bells chime and the clock tick.
