The Chapel Bell we know today has gone through quite a bit of history. The chapel which hosts the bell was built in 1832 with a grand total cost of $15,000. The bell was initially positioned on the roof. However in 1913, due to rotten wood in the structure, the bell was moved to its location that it maintains now. The Chapel Bell was used to mark the beginning of service as well as the beginning and ending of classes and during World War II, had been used as an air raid siren. The longest tradition of the bell was to ring the bell til midnight for every home football victory and all night for a win over Georgia Tech. In 2007, the bell fell again after a win over Florida which required that the entire tower be rebuilt.
