The Chapel Bell
The chapel bell sounds hourly. It is inscribed, "Great is truth and mighty above all things," from 1 Esdras 4:41, an apocryphal book included in some versions of the Old Testament. The verse personifies truth as a woman of great strength. Perhaps not coincidentally, at the time the chapel was built Connecticut College only admitted women. The first men were enrolled in 1969.
