One of the traditions that has evolved on campus is the ringing of the bell in Blanchard Tower to celebrate an engagement or wedding. Since this is the first time that we have been on campus together, at the last minute we decided to see if we could do it.
At the doorway. Couples have written their names and years on every available surface on the inside of the tower. We saw names as far back as the 1960's and a few that I recognized as my contemporaries. There was even a son who recorded his engagement next to that of his father.
Mementos and photos are also popular. Several years ago these were taken down and put in scrapbooks to be left in the tower.
Camille very kindly wrote out the words to the song that Ben sang at our wedding and printed a picture so we could leave our memento of the occasion as well.
The bell is rung in three sets of seven for an engagement. We rang the seven sets of three for a wedding.
