Choose a clock to pay tribute
A post clock, tower clock, or impressive outdoor wall clock can be a memorable memorial to a founder, donor, or loved one. A custom dial can feature a name or group, a cast bronze plaque is also a nice addition to a memorial clock. The memorial gift pictured here is in memory of Margery Saunders Hellmann. She was the daughter of UCSF’s first chancellor, John B. de C.M. Saunders, and his wife, Alison B. Maxwell-Wood Saunders. Her son Jack Hellmann wanted a tribute to his family’s outstanding contribution to UCSF that began some eight decades ago and continues today. The modern post clock graces the courtyard of Mission Hall at UC San Francisco. Mission Hall is the Global Health & Clinical Sciences Building on the Mission Bay campus.

A Campus Landmark and an enduring reminder
“Saunders Clock was created in loving memory of my wonderful mother, Margery Saunders Hellmann,” said Jack Hellmann. “She and my grandparents would be deeply gratified that we have joined the past and future of UCSF in this symbolic way. It also, establishes what we hope will become a campus landmark for future generations of UCSF faculty, students, and friends.”
