Through the years the Tower Clock has regulated the lives of
thousands of
faculty, staff and students; no other architectural feature is more
evocative of the campus. This magnificent drawing, selected from the more
than two thousand items in the Paul Cret collection of architectural
drawings of University of Texas buildings, measures approximately four by
eight feet and is one half full scale. Rendered in charcoal and colored
pencil, it represents the finest achievement of architectural
draughtmanship and is one of the prized items in The University's
Architectural Drawings Collection. The designer of the clock and its
tower was the eminent architect, Paul Cret, who gave the University its
great master plan and some of its finest buildings.
