Iowa State University Midnight


Iowa State University’s Campanile was built in 1898 as a memorial to the first dean of women Margaret MacDonald Stanton, by her husband Edgar W. Stanton, acting president of the University. It remains a much loved symbol of Iowa State University today. A kiss under the Campanile at the stroke of midnight has become an Iowa State tradition.
