This landmark at the OU has had past troubles with keeping the clock face on the tower. As in 2010 they replaced it for the second time as it was blown down by a Norman wind storm. According to The Oklahoman, “The Verdin Company office in Dallas made the $18,000 custom-built clock and its staff helped install it in the tower. Once the clock was in place, the workers installed its motor, put the clock hands on its face, and then reinforced clocks on the towers’ other three sides to prevent future mishaps”(Tyree). This clock tower has a lot of cool facts behind it, but it will always be a place and a sight that Sooners will avoid. If I really wanted to be in college forever then I might risk the walk under the tower but for now I will just admire its beauty and the myth!
