Description	This circa 1900 photograph shows the McIver'; s House as seen from College Avenue with someone standing on the porch. This two story, ten room house was built on the southwest corner of College Avenue and Spring Garden Street for President McIver and his family. Mrs. McIver lived there until her death in December 1944. It was torn down in 1952 and since then has been commemorated on two occasions. The Class of 1923, on the occasion of its 30th reunion, commissioned a small brick foundation from which the original 1892 school bell, or “University Bell,” which was used to summon the girls would hang. In1967, on the occasion of the University’s 75th anniversary, the student body voted to build a more elaborate brick setting on the site named Student Anniversary Plaza. Student Anniversary Plaza was renovated in 2005 to incorporate the Vacc Bell Tower, named after Nicholas A. Vacc, Chair of the University Counseling Program (1986-1996.)
