Morehead-Patterson Memorial Bell Tower

The tower (with hedge, lawn and flowers created by botany professor William C. Coker) was designed by McKim, Mead & White and given to the University in 1930 by John Motley Morehead III and Rufus Lenior Patterson. It is 172 ft. tall, and its 10-bell carillon calls students to classes, provides twilight music and serenades football crowds departing the adjacent Kenan Memorial Stadium. (photo courtesy UNC)
