Scheduled for presentation for May 18,[6] the bell was formally presented on June 15, at a ceremony hosted by Virginia governor Claude A. Swanson. The Exposition's general counsel T. J. Wool and Major Hunter were both present.[7]
It was intended for the Bell to be given to the University of Virginia after the close of the Exposition.[7] However shortly after the Governor announced this fact, there was dispute about where it should ultimately be sent.[8]
