The Bells of Iowa State is one of Iowa State University traditions, remembered with affection by both alumni and campus visitors. This project built a 1:5 scale replica of the campanile and a 27-bell carillon that is accessible, functional and portable. This model serves as an extension of the legacy of Iowa State beloved campanile and the carillon. It is being used at various University events and outreach programs and will also serve as a musical instrument and an educational tool. Many will enjoy the musical experiences, and learn the complex engineering of the carillon.

Traer has a direct connection to the campanile carillon. Julia Wentch Stanton was born and raised in Traer. She graduated from Iowa State college in 1888 and became a member of the mathematics faculty in 1893. She married Dean Edgar W. Stanton in 1899 after the death of his 1st wife and later became dean of women at Ames. As executrix of Stanton’s estate, she oversaw the bequest of an additional 26 bells for the campanile in 1928.

Come, bring your lawn chair, and see the model at Traer from 1-5 on Saturday, June 3, with a program at 3:00. Try your hand at playing it! Weather permitting.
