The University of Kansas - WWII Memorial Campanile

The World War II Memorial Campanile is the most notable landmark at the University of Kansas, built in 1950 to honor the 277 students and faculty who died serving their country. The tower is 120 feet tall, made of native Kansas limestone, and contains a 53-bell carillon. The names of the deceased are engraved on the walls of the Memorial Room, while the south doors depict war tragedies and the north doors depict the ideals of Kansas and the university. The tower was dedicated in 1951 and renovated in 1996. The largest bell is dedicated to Olin Templin, who worked to establish a carillon tower to honor the settlers of Lawrence who endured hardships during the Civil War but died before it could be built. Templin's plans were eventually carried out by the Memorial Association Committee.
