Heavilon Hall was dedicated on January 19, 1894, as part of <a href="/wiki/Purdue_University_College_of_Engineering" title="Purdue University College of Engineering">Purdue's engineering school</a>. Four days later, the building caught fire and was destroyed. In light of this tragedy, <a href="/wiki/James_H._Smart" title="James H. Smart">James H. Smart</a>, Purdue's president at the time, declared that a new tower would go up "one brick higher." Smart's inspirational words have since become a sort of motto for the university. According to legend, however, the bell tower was actually built nine bricks higher. This second Heavilon tower was completed in December 1895 with clocks on each of the four sides. On April 8, 1897, four bells were installed. These bells would mark every quarter-hour until Heavilon was demolished in 1956.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Purdue_Bell_Tower">Purdue Bell Tower</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Purdue_Bell_Tower&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Purdue Bell Tower"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div><p> Through a gift from the class of 1948, a new bell tower was completed in 1995.
