Phi Beta Kappa Clock

"We said, 'We would like to do something for this campus that would honor academic achievement and be useful on campus,'" says Mark Lucas, Associate Professor of Physics and President of the chapter. "Phi Beta Kappa emphasizes a strong liberal arts education. Its members are committed to the belief that a broad education is very important for our students."

The clock was purchased through the support of more than 180 members of Phi Beta Kappa, with a significant contribution from the family of Evelyn Underwood Holden, who was inducted into the Ohio University chapter in 1931.
