It’s 12 PM, which means if you are anywhere near South College, you can probably hear the ringing of the Wesleyan’s famous bells. On any given weekday, members of the mysterious Bell & Scroll society ascend the winding spiral staircase to reach the 24-bell Wesleyan Carillon for their daily serenade. As part of Wesleying‘s “In Depth” series, I sat down with Bell Ringer ’17 (a student member of Bell & Scroll who wished to remain anonymous) and Emeritus Professor of German and Medieval Studies Peter Frenzel to find out what Bell & Scroll is all about.
