For Whom the Bells Toll
During his 1921 commencement address, U-M President Marion Leroy Burton suggested a campus bell tower as a fitting memorial to the 236 men from U-M who had died in World War I. Burton Memorial Tower, an iconic masterpiece of inventive design, was dedicated in 1936. Today, it remains the principal central campus facility of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance.
