The Paul J. Dovre Campanile was named after former long time Concordia President Dr. Paul Dovre (1974-1999, interim president: 2003-2004 and again from 2010-2011), The campanile was completed in 1990 to commemorate the colleges centennial in 1991. The campanile is a 100 foot tall freestanding tower.
"The famous grand bells in the Paul J. Dovre Campanile have merit as the inscriptions on the bells cite the Lutheran aspect of the college. The engraving on the largest bell reads "Dedicated to the glory of God and to all who have built and continue to sustain Concordia College." "
