Inscription. This bell, cast in the early days of the University, once proclaimed each new day of learning from the cupola of the building directly in front of you. Echoing across the hills, its ring welcomed men and women to an institution of higher learning that was one of the first in the nation to educate both equally. Today, Hanna Hall remains one of the two oldest buildings in America with that historic distinction.

Class of 2015 Gift to the University

Declare His glory among the nations,

Psalm 96:3

Erected 2015 by Class of 2015.
