Description
"Campanile Reflection in Kansas" by Catherine Sherman.
The iconic Campanile is reflected in Potter Lake on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence. Graduates pass through the doors of the Campanile during Commencement ceremony.
Memorial drive that curves nearby and the bell tower were built to honor KU students who died in World War II. The site picked for the tower overlooks two other war memorials--the Budig Hall football stadium and the Kansas Union. More than 8,000 people donated nearly $350,000 to construct the campanile, dedicated in 1951.
"America" was played on the carillon at its dedication in 1955. The carillon bells hang in a fixed position. Their clappers are moved by levers from the keyboard and pedals of the clavier. To ring the bells the carillonneur strikes the keys with closed fists.
Memorial Drive was completed and dedicated in 1951. Today it connects the Kansas Union, the Campanile, and the new Vietnam Memorial dedicated on Memorial Day, 1986
