Next to the High Court on Bhaurao Patil Road, the Venetian Gothic
Bombay University has a Gothic clock tower 260 feet high, that is
curiously adorned with oriental figures. In the old days it used to
play Rule Britannia, God Save the king, Auld Lang Syne and a Handel
symphony among 16 tunes that changed four times a day; now the
repertoire is restricted to wafting chimes of the big Ben on the
quarter hour.
