KIRKLAND SUNDIALS NOT IN TUNE; 30, 60 MINUTES SLOW

Even the magic word "Veritas", which adorns probably the only two official sundials in the University does not seem to suffice to keep them in the straight and narrow.

Located on the two south gables of Kirkland House, the two dials are visible only to residents of Eliot whose windows face north on the cement court. They are not of much use even to those who can see them, however, for the eastern one is half an hour slow, while its western mate, over by Boylston Street, lags an hour behind. Perhaps the fact that the faces of the dials are upside down, with 12 o'clock on the bottom, might explain their unfortunate derangement.
