Hands Missing From Clock Tower at Georgetown

The clock tower at Georgetown University, one of the most familiar campus landmarks, is missing its hands.

Police believe the hands on Healy Hall, a Gothic-style flagship building of the main campus and a National

Historic Landmark, were removed over the weekend.

The tower's hands have been a popular target of pranksters for years.
The Hoya reports "Stealing the Healy clock hands is a long-standing Georgetown tradition that took root in the 1960s."

School officials say the hands were removed in 2005 and the clock was damaged, requiring $25,000 in repairs
