As a gift from the classes of 1953 and 2003, the Old Main bell was restored and installed in a new tower on campus that was dedicated at Homecoming in 2003. A new tradition was started during Fall 2006 Commencement as the alumni director rang the bell six times (for 2006) before the start of baccalaureate services to welcome the graduates as alumni.
The bell is located on the Cory Street Mall.
