I attended Tulane on a basketball scholarship in the early 60's. For many years this was rung to celebrate Tulane basketball victories.
Tulane thru research has determined that this was a plantation bell. Said bell supposedly was used to handle movements of slaves thru their daily activities
The bell is now in storage. A committee has been made up to determine what should replace the bell in front of McAlister Auditorium, in the hopes to start a new tradition. In my opinion that bell was significant in the showing of Tulane joy and spirit thru out the years.
Tulane will conduct an investigation to find out more of the history of the bell.
VERY SAD!!
Any opinions?
