10/6/95--The Purdue Bell Tower,a new landmark looming behind the water sculpture fountain at the heart of the Purdue University campus, will be dedicated Oct. 14 as part of Homecoming weekend festivities. Made possible with a leadership gift from Purdue's Class of 1948, the tower is a contemporary interpretation of the old Heavilon Hall Tower, a campus landmark through the first half of the 20th century. Atop the tower are the four century-old bells from the old tower, which were placed in storage when the antiquated facility was razed in 1956. Click on photo above to download a (220k) JPEG photo.
