On Commencement eve, ringing in the Centennial era  

A new campus landmark has taken shape. The Carmen Culpeper Chappell ’59 Centennial Campanile, under construction since last summer, was dedicated on May 11. These photos were taken in February when the final custom-made pieces were placed atop the red-brick base. Sporting a hard hat, John Chappell, who wanted to memorialize his late wife’s love of learning, was on hand for the tower’s topping-off.
