70 The Bells of Iowa State

The History of “The Bells of Iowa State”

James C. Wilson (1900-1995) was a member of Iowa State’s English faculty from 1928 to 1931. He had to resign due to his lack of a Ph.D., and prior to his departure, he submitted a college song candidate for a song contest sponsored by the Iowa State Club of Chicago.

Jim and his wife, Alice, moved to Chicago where as he notes, “We (in addition to their two babies) had $212 in cash from my last paycheck, our five-year-old Chevrolet, and the tent.” He won first place with “The Bells of Iowa State,” and the family was able to purchase a Iowa State University Library Special Collections Department small cottage on Lake Michigan.

“When I wrote ‘The Bells of Iowa State,’ I thought then that it had much more depth and emotion than your basic football fight song,” Wilson said. “Its continuing popularity leaves me very pleased, not so much because it’s my own song, but because it has had such a good effect on those who have been touched by it.” (The Iowa Stater, June 1983)
