The Marquette University Carillon

The Marquette University Carillon is at the top of the Marquette Hall tower. It is comprised of 48 bells. Although the tower that houses the Marquette University instrument was constructed in 1923, designed to house a carillon, it remained empty until 1967. In that year, the installation of a 48-bell Paccard carillon was made possible by Mrs. John C. Dwan, who was a member of the Board of Regents for Marquette.
