Praise be to our lord and savior Tom W. Davis. THE Ohio State University has been blessed by the presence of this magnificent and holy tower. The LED shines with the light of God himself.

Easily one of the most beautiful things that man has ever created. Step aside Big Ben, there's a new kid on the block and he has an LED screen that shines through all of us. Praise be!

A truly spiritual experience. If you're lucky you can even snag a spilled burrito bowl underneath it!

The clock tower is amazing on so many different levels.
First of all, it quench the thirst of having a monument of all OSU students of this generation.
Secondly, it provides a space that encourages students to create their own religion by engraving quotes from leaders of different fields.
No to mention that it teaches the youth knowledge and the importance of knowing how to read an old-time clock by showing a digital clock right beneath it.
The single-sided display of time demonstrated the significance of focusing on one aspect in one’s life and not have your eggs in too many baskets.
Lastly, it teaches the community an invaluable lesson of thinking outside the box and not be defeated by others doubts since it possibly happened because of the story of:
“Well we can’t just put a clock tower on North campus. ”
“Why not? ”
“Fine, let’s do it. ”

All in awe, this is a landmark that will forever be remembered by the Ohio State community as the symbol of inclusion, concentration, fearlessness, and that we have enough money to give all incoming students an iPad and build a clock tower but not enough money to lower housing rate so our students are not loaning money because the university forced them to live on campus where the rent can easily be 1.5x to 2x the rent of some other decent apartments in university district where you can have your own room and not share your shower with 10 other people.

Praise be, Tommy!
You’re truly the savior of this institution.

I wasn't a religious man, then this clocktower was created. I now know what God is and I offer a sacrifice of one insomnia cookie to The Holy Clocktower every Saturday during football season. All hail the red bar.

I would’ve rather had got an iPad, but at least some people found god while looking into the face of the clock, crying and praying for grades.

A night of depression, the world looked dark. So I went to the Great Tom W. Davis Clock Tower. Bright as heaven, Bravo!

Praise be, praise be, blessed be the name of the clocktower who bestows upon us plebes its glory and mercy during exams. Allow the North Campus patron saint Tom W. Davis to be thy shepherd and guide thy steps during football season. Come leave thy offering underneath the tower at night to pay respects.

This icon has made me believe in our beloved Brutus, before I thought Urban was our human leader, but after my pilgrimage to the tower, a sweet sense of carmen Ohio filled my soul. The next day I dreamt of buckeyes, which I believe was a sign from Brutus that I was in good hands at this University.

I do like it, only I wish it was a little bit brighter as I can’t usually read what it says at night from being too dim

I was showing a group of Eagle Scouts around campus and once they were near the Glorious Clock Tower, they couldn’t help but praise Tom’s greatness. The trance this monument puts you in is absolutely surreal. Everyone should allow the Tower to grace them.

Visiting the Clocktower is in a way like visiting Mecca, after having gone there my life was changed indefinitely. I for one am so proud that THE Ohio State University, in my time at this institution put up such a defining landmark. I can't wait to one day take my children to see it.

The clocktower shines light into my life. If I am ever sad I make a pilgrimage to the clocktower to pray to the diety of Tom W. Davis and I instantly feel better. Thank you TOSU, the clocktower is very cool.

So personally, THE Tom W. Davis Clocktower for me is a symbol of hope, a light in a dark place. A beacon to lead me home. Tom said, let their be light, and thus the mighty clocktower was born. If you are worthy enough, you might be lucky enough to find apples sacrificed under the Tower. By taking a bite, rumor has it you do well on the next exam. My only complaint is that there aren't enough LED lights to really set itself apart from its surroundings. All hail the mighty Tom
