The Union College Bell was preceded by five others, the first installed in the original administration building in 1880. Nola E. Minton, 1884-1975, was honored for her contributions to agriculture, livestock, lumbering, and saddle horse breeding. She sponsored the first charity horse show in the United States, initiated the use of the white cane for the blind, served as the first woman on the Kentucky State Fair Board, was named to the Kentucky Horse Show Hall of Fame in 1968, and in 1978 West Hall at the State Fairgrounds was renamed Nola E. Minton Hall.
