Ring my bell: Harvard students learn the Russian way

Harvard University in the U.S. is returning a set of precious church bells to Russia - decades after they were sold for scrap by the Soviet Union. In exchange, a group of Harvard students were given the chance to visit Moscow to learn the unique art of Russian bell music.

Right, the bell was housed atop the Business School library. I shallowly enjoyed the free food and drink at that bell ceremony, but it does mark a somewhat significant cultural exchange.

At 1:19 that's not Lowell House. That's a building at the Harvard Business School, where one of the bells was because it somehow was considered not part of the set.
