》 CAMPANILE
The Campanile holds the honor of being one of the most recognizable symbols on campus. In its 56-year history, the memorial has been brought to life through tradition, superstition, music, memory and respect.

Traditional bell tower holds fond memories
Donations from devoted students, faculty, alumni helped fund construction as a World War II memorial to remember lost Jayhawks
BY SPENCER HEWITT
The Campanile has been a symbol of respect and remembrance since it first caught public interest 56 years ago. Its time as the most noticeable landmark on campus has brought it to life through tradition, superstition, music, memory and respect.
In 1945 many donors, alumni, students and faculty decided the University of Kansas needed a World War II memorial, what would be the 120-foot, bell-adorned, $343,000 Campanile. They built a centerpiece of the KU campus with the purpose of keeping the sacrifices of World War II permanently in the minds of Jayhawks. Donors now immortalized on campus, such as Fred Ellsworth and Forrest "Phog" Allen, contributed to a fund that in two years raised enough money to build the reminder.
As plans and construction began the Campanile's symbolism took on many new dimensions. The idea for a carillon tower was originally that of Olin Templin, former dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Templin wanted to build the memorial to honor the struggles early Kansans faced, especially during the Civil War era. His efforts to build the tower were tireless: he even petitioned the federal government for money.
The tower was built with native Kansas limestone and the largest of the carillon's 53 bells was dedicated in Templin's memory.
The focus of the Campanile remained on commemorating the
sacrifices of World War II. Since its 1951 dedication, thousands of graduates have walked through the Memorial Room. The walls of the Memorial Room are covered with the names of the 277 Jayhawks killed during World War II.
The Campanile has become not only a symbol of World War II and Kansans; it has also become a symbol of the University, a symbol of graduation and a symbol of beauty raised from war. It's the site of solemn reminder and riotous celebration, a giant instrument
with a unique musical purpose, and it holds a reputation as the most distinguished landmark on campus. All of these give the Campanile a unique meaning for each Jayhawk.
"The Campanile is kind of an icon of graduation for me," said Chris Zamaripra, Great Bend fresh.

fessor of music, plays the carillon during graduation ceremonies, holidays, weddings and on Sunday evenings. She also teaches a handful of students who get to play on occasion.
While some see the Campanile as a symbol of graduation, other students see it as reminder of their great times on the hill sledding, playing Frisbee or just admiring its presence.
"The Campanile is kind of an icon of graduation for me."
While many KU students and alumni bring the Campanile to life through memories and traditions, one woman gets the privilege of bringing it to life through its music. Elizabeth Berghou, associate pro-
"It is a symbol of the university, of the traditions and the students," Berghout said. "It has a peaceful power."
As the University's third carillonneur Berghoug says that she enjoys playing at the yearly commencement ceremony.

"I love the energy at graduation,"
Berghout said "People are always so happy to be graduating or knowing someone graduating; it's great."
The carillon is played by the striking wooden batons with
a closed fist. Each baton causes bells, some weighing around 13,000 pounds, to ring the very reverent sound of a carillon.
"If you want to get philosophical the best thing about the carillon is that it is a great instrument to mark the passing of time," Berghout said. "There are all these different reasons to play; some are happy, like weddings, some are memorials, some are nostalgic, but they all are significant parts of life. The carillon adds meaning to them."
