7 janv. 2006 · The Benjamin Rosenthal Library at Queens College features a distinctive clock tower. Walt Whitman taught school on what would later be the Queens College campus. “Paumanok” was a word used by the Algonquin tribe to describe Long Island.
The majority of this collection consists of photos from an album depicting the creation and installation of the five bells in the clock tower of Rosenthal Library. A handwritten essay explaining the history of the project, as well as four pages of captions describing the photos, are included.

The dial is not a perfect rectangle, but the mean dimensions (measured to the outer edge of the blue chapter ring and not including the variable border) are, in pre-metric British units: width 8 feet (8′ 0″), and height 7 feet 8 inches (7′ 8″), not including the moon table.

The earliest recognisable depiction of the decoration of the sundial is shown in the view of the court engraved by Storerin 1829. This is an enlarged detail of the dial. For some period in the mid-19th century the sundial was useless, having no gnomon. This photo, highly enlarged from a view of the court taken around 1860–4, shows the dial in this ...
Apart from passing references in histories and guide-books, there seem to have been no early attempts to recount the history of the dial, or to explain how to read it. Carter’s History of 1753 mentions the dial as a Curiosity, but mis-attributes it to Newton, and provides no factual information. Searle’s History of 1867–71 was more concerned with o...
Everything on the dial has now been explained, except the presence of the golden arc immediately above and alongside the constant declination line of the winter solstice. If it were purely decorative, it would be the only such decorative thing on the dial, as everything else has a purpose. Unusually for this dial, the arc is graphically layered abo...

The Chapel Bell also serves as an hour bell for the tower clock. It is inscribed: MILES GRAIE FECIT 1637. It was originally housed in the chapel bell-tower, which became unsafe and was demolished in 1804. The bell was then moved to a new clock and cupola on the roof of the Library.
