For nearly 50 years the sundial behind Holden Chapel regularly and impassively marked the passing of the minutes with the passage of the sun. "On This Moment Hangs Eternity," reads an inscription engraved on its circumference, but the dial is destined to register the time of day no longer.
With the erection this year of the Holden twins, Lionel and Mower, the sun is effectual screened at all times of the day from the face of the dial.
When asked yesterday if the dial would be moved into the sun on the other side of the Chapel, C. R. Apted, Superintendent of Caretakers, denied that any such plans were under consideration.
"That dial has been there for a good many years, and so far as I know nobody has ever tried to tell time by it," he said. "It's just as ornamental out of the sun as it was in, and about as useful."
