In 1950 President Bowman had a railroad bell donated by the Erie Railroad,which ran through city of Kent. He had it placed on the Commons. The brick structure surrounding it was designed by architecture student Arvid Johnson. In early years, the bell was rung to celebrate athletic victories. In later years, the bell signaled the start of political rallies. Down through the years, the Commons has served as a place where students gather to throw a Frisbee, walk a dog, or stage various events.
