Provided by CSU Alumni AssociationAlumni and friends of Colorado State University on April 18, 2017 celebrate the return of the bell taken from Old Main nearly a century ago. It has been restored and will be installed in a tower at the new on-campus football stadium. Almost 100 years after a bell that hung at Colorado State University’s Old Main was stolen, the nearly 500-pound piece of history is back on the Fort Collins campus, and will soon peal from a tower in the new Alumni Center. “Honestly, the story of the bell really blew our minds,” Associated Students of Colorado State University president Daniela Pineda Soracá said in a CSU news release.
