Rose Well House

The Rose Well House, an open-air pavilion in the heart of campus, covers the original well for IU and was a gift from Theodore F. Rose in 1908. Tradition holds that a female student is not officially a co-ed until she has been kissed beneath its dome at midnight.

  • The Well House is built in the shape of the fraternity pin for Beta Theta Pi, Theodore F. Rose's fraternity.
  • The Well House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
