Description

The Heritage Bell is an important historic symbol of Paul Quinn. The heritage bell was originally on the Garrison Plantation, which later became the Waco campus of Paul Quinn College. The bell rang each morning notifying the slaves that it was time to head to the fields. When the College relocated from Austin to Waco in 1877, the bell remained and rang to start classes each day. It is our tradition for students to touch the bell twice while attending the College – as they enter their first semester and before they depart during graduation week. We look forward to making you part of Paul Quinn history!
