There are some things that most universities share. Libraries, fight songs and alma maters are all parts of a college’s identity. The University of Louisville is unique in the sense that we have two different Alma Maters: the official tune and the one the clocktower plays at noon every day.
You don’t have to be a music major to know that this version of the alma mater is extremely out of tune. The clocktower’s eerie rendition is practically in a different key than the official composition.
The university should act with a sense of urgency to resolve this issue since the clocktower is one of U of L’s most recognizable structures, also because this could be a problem for students’ mental health.
