Olin Templin, a University of Kansas alumnus and the professor responsible for establishing the psychology, sociology and philosophy departments at the University, originally suggested building the Campanile.
BY MELISSA JOHNSON
The World War II Memorial Carillon and Campanile is a well-known landmark at the University of Kansas. Because of its location just south of Memorial Stadium, on top of Mount Oread, it has become as important to graduation tradition as receiving a diploma.
Campanile (pronounced camp-nee-lee) is the Italian word for a tower that contains bells. A carillon is essentially the system of bells that is controlled
The 120-foot Campanile at the University is constructed entirely of limestone taken from the state of Kansas.
by a keyboard.
On May 27, 1951 it was officially dedicated. The largest bell in the tower is dedicated to Templin for his contributions to the University.
In 1996, the Campanile underwent repairs and a rededication ceremony.
The carillon consists of 53 bells that chime on the hour and every quarter of an hour. The University carillonne performs concerts periodically during weekday afternoons.
The Campanile was built in 1951 and exists to honor University of Kansas students and faculty who
were casualties of World War II.
There were originally 266 student and faculty names engraved in the Campanile. In 2005 the name of a
He intended for the monument to honor the original settlers of Lawrence. Unfortunately, Templin died in 1943 before the tower was built.
More than 8,000 people donated nearly $350,000 to fund the Campanile's construction.
Since Memorial Stadium's opening in 1924, students have lined up on Memorial Drive for graduation and to proceed down the hill. After the Campanile was built, it became a tradition to walk through it before walking down the hill.
KU student that had been left off by accident was added.
When the University tried to shorten the ceremony by encouraging students to walk around the Campanile rather than through it, the marshals put in place to block it were pushed aside. Walking through the Campanile at graduation has become a rite of passage for students ever since.
Students should beware, though. There is a myth that anyone who walks through the Campanile before his or her graduation ceremony won't graduate on time, and might not graduate at all.

in brief School of Fine Arts dean
stepping down next year Steve Hedden will step down as dean of the School of Fine Arts at the end of the academic year, but will continue teaching at the University.
Hedden was named dean in 2003, and has been at the University for five years. During his time as dean, Heddon helped increase the amount of external funding, establish new degrees and additional faculty positions and raised money to replace the marching band uniforms. A national search will begin this fall to hire a new dean by next school year.
"look forward to my new opportunities as part of the energetic and extraordinarily talented faculty here" Hedden said in a press release.

After the storm
Enrollment deadline moved up to Sept. 13
"Most students are already enrolled, so it won't really help or hurt them." Dinky Cerritt, University Registrar, said.
This policy has been on the books for years, but has not been enforced, Derritt said. When the registrar's office discovered that they weren't in compliance with the policy, they took the case to University Governance, which decided that they needed to change the deadline.
The deadline for adding classes for students has been moved up to Sept. 13, the 20th day of classes, from Dec.7.
