Does the university have a person that plays the carillon at times?


I don't know. I just know it was built after I left and I never fully understood why we needed a bell tower. Some alumni just wanted their name plastered on the tallest thing on campus, I suppose.

it is def. not needed. lol

Clemson paid $63,000 for just one bell in 2012 to bring the total number up to 48 bells. It is probably a bell that rarely gets used.

It looks like Miss State has one but it is uses bell tone generators that are then amplified by a sound system.
