Sarah McFarland Campanile and Carillons
The Sarah McFarland Campanile and Carillons, completed in 2009, anchors the south end of campus in a final realization of a nearly century-old vision to have a belltower in south campus. The Campus Plan of 1913 first suggested the notion of a belltower in south campus, while the original proposed plans for Memorial Stadium also included a campanile. Memorial Stadium was actually given an electronic campanile in 1962, played from a console in Foellinger Auditorium.

Memorial Stadium Proposal
In one proposed design of Memorial Stadium, it would have featured a massive obelisk, most likely a campenile, anchoring its southern entrance.
