For twenty-seven years this old bell served its pur-pose as a sentinel over hours, but when the present heating plant waserected and the old one demolished in 1904. the bell was given the loco-motive museum for its final resting place. But those who had learned to love the clear tones of the bell founfla new use for it. It was on the night of the Purrlue victory overIndiana in 1904 that the spirit of the students became so high pitchedthat they loaded the bell on a wagon and followed it on a riotous journeythrough the city. In 1906 the bell was mounted on a carriage fittingto its functions, and in 1916 a bell house was erected near Stuart Fieldfor its safe keeping. Pair Onr Hyndrnl .\iiirly/i
