...class of '72 is to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of its graduation this year by a gift of a large clock, to be placed in the tower of Memorial Hall. The clock will have a fifteen-foot dial and a bell, to strike the hours, which will weigh about 3000 pounds.

But what has this last to do with nominating speeches, or is any connection intended?
