ADVISORY...for Monday (March 29)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

Drexel University 

What:     With daylight savings time approaching, Drexel University
          will be re-setting its rare 18th century tall-case clock,
          one of the world's most complex clocks. It was made in
          Philadelphia by astronomer and clockmaker David Rittenhouse
          in 1773. Images of conservator Eric Chandlee Wilson winding
          the Clock and setting it forward can be used by the news
          media for daylight savings time stories when DST goes into
          effect on the weekend of April 4.

          A world-class treasure and source of pride for
          Philadelphians, the Rittenhouse Clock:

          --  Records time in seconds, minutes, hours and days.

          --  Has 16 sets of chimes.

          --  Plays 10 tunes.

Audio:    The Clock strikes every 15 minutes and on the hour. Audio of
          the 10 tunes can be made available upon request.

Visuals:  The conservator winding the Clock... setting the Clock an
          hour forward... the backdrop of portraits from The Drexel
          Collection on display in the Westphal Gallery.

When:     Monday, March 29, 2004, from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Where:    The Westphal Picture Gallery, Main Building, third floor
          (32nd and Chestnut Streets).
