The North Carolina State University Memorial Belltower[3] (officially the Memorial Tower, informally known as the Belltower[3]) is a 115-foot-tall (35 m) free-standing bell tower on the Main Campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina[4] Conceived as a war memorial to honor university alumni killed in World War I and the university's overall participation in the conflict,[5][3] the Belltower now serves as a perpetual memorial for N.C. State students and alumni who gave their lives in the service of the nation.[6] A prominent university symbol, the tower is a popular rallying point for the campus community.[1]
