Nine Chimemasters play the Crouse College chimes three times a day, a Syracuse University tradition that began in the late 1800s.

Students and residents of the City of Syracuse will hear the chimes atop Crouse College tower ringing if they are within a mile of Syracuse University's campus. These chimes, unlike the ones heard downtown, are not automated; actual students play the chimes.
