GENE LANDON ’57 TURNS BACK TIME

WITH CLOCK GIFT
 

Gene Landon ’57 recently gifted to the College a hand-crafted reproduction of a one-of-a-kind clock that is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The original, which he had the opportunity to inspect for measurements and detail for his reproduction, is circa 1770. 

Landon made the clock using the same tools, techniques, and craftsmanship that would have been employed back in the 18^th century. The clock is on display in the Mary Lindsay Welch Honors Hall foyer. He also crafted the beautiful altar in the Honors Hall chapel.

Landon recently created a life-size eagle for display in the new Constitution Center in Philadelphia. The eagle carving is scheduled to be on display there for five years before going to the Smithsonian.
