The Bell at Augusta State University

The Bell, donated to the College by the

Georgia Railroad Bank, came from the

last steam locomotive of the Georgia

Railroad. In 1957, the bank also funded

the building of the tower to house the bell,

which at one time rang to mark the beginning

and ending of classes. The student newspaper,

The Bell Ringer, began publication

fall quarter 1957.

Marker is on near Patriot Drive near Arsenal Avenue..
