One of Ä¢¹½tv's most prominent landmarks, Memorial Tower, also know as the Campanile, was built in 1923 and dedicated in 1926 as a memorial to Louisianans who died in World War I, whose names appear on bronze plaques on the rotunda walls. 

The tower also houses the William A. Brookshire Ä¢¹½tv Military Museum.

The tower's chimes ring every quarter hour, including the university's Alma Mater each day at noon.
