This bell tower, an enduring symbol of Alabama’s first university, was erected in honor of President George H. Denny, under whose leadership (1911 – 1936) The University of Alabama gained national prominence. Conceived by Jerome M. Brictchey and his classmates, this free-standing campanile carillon was built by Skinner, Maxwell and Company and dedicated May 27, 1929, with Governor Bibb Graves Presiding. Converted in 1945 from a bell carillon to an electronic system and modernized in 1966. It echoes have continued to touch the hearts an memories of Alabamians from every walk of life.
