The bell tower in Devereux used to house the bell from the tower which was part of Lynch Hall; when the building burned the bell survived but was damaged.  After having the bell recast, the university placed it in the bell tower of Devereux Hall.  The music which you hear coming from that tower is not actually a created by bells, but instead by a Schulmerich Novabell #3 instrument.  This machine creates electronic signals, sends them to an amplifier, and then they come out of speakers in the bell tower in Devereux.  This system is operated by security services here on campus out of a system located in the basement of Butler Gymnasium.  The system plays songs according to seasons, there is a system to play holiday songs, and also a system to play popular genre music for the rest of the year, such as "Michelle" from the Beatles and "Fly me to the Moon" popularized by Frank Sinatra.  The bells ring once a day at 6:30pm.  The electronic bells in Devereux were donated by Dr. and Mrs. William M. McAndrews from Oil City, Pennsylvania in 1979 in honor of Rev. Mark Kennedy, O.F.M.  McAndrews graduated from Bonaventure in the class of 1929.
