The bell of St. John’s College’s McDowell Hall will ring overnight Saturday into Sunday, February 5, between midnight and 1:30 a.m., as more than 100 students at the third oldest college in the country continue an annual tradition that marks a senior rite of passage.
The Mayor’s Office grants the college a special exemption to the city of Annapolis’ noise ordinance, allowing the long-standing tradition to continue. Thank you, The City Of Annapolis 😊
Seniors will turn in their essays on Saturday, February 4, at the president’s house, then return to campus to ring the bell in McDowell Hall’s cupola (done with the push of a button).
