The Bell Tower Ball is a fairly new celebration. Since the Heritage Society has stopped having a more modest party for its members, and since the participants seem to be about the same, I have always GUESSED that the Bell Tower Ball is for the Heritage Society. Never cared enough to ask. It always takes place in Feb, always on Saturday, and usually on the night that we play Wofford (a fact that I believe to be sheer coincidence). I think it started about the time our Prez took office, so it must be her idea, or the idea of one of her lieutenants. It is a big bash. Black Tie optional. As I have no Black Tie and no desire for one, I wear a suit. The Heritage Society is comparable to "Major Donors". It means that FU is in your will and will get some cash when you croak.
