Stained glass in Rollins
As part of a restoration, Facilities Planning will reveal the now-covered stained-glass windows in the apse of Rollins Chapel, The Dartmouth reports. Donors gave each memorial window in the name of a president of the school, the first five (three in the chancel and one in each transept) in 1886 after the building opened according to “Dartmouth College. Description of the Five Memorial Windows in Rollins Chapel,” New York Times (5 March 1886), 8, col. 5.
- The center window in the chancel is a memorial for President Eleazar Wheelock, made by James Ballantine & Son of Edinburgh, and depicts a group of hearers listening to John the Baptist, also including college motto and seal.
- The President Brown memorial was made by F.X. Zettier at the Royal Bavarian Stained Glass Works in Munich and depicts the apostle John.
- The President Tyler memorial was made by Donald McDonald of Boston and depicts the apostle Paul with the usual colors replaced with reds and brown to go with the chapel.
- The President Lord window, also by McDonald, depicts Moses.
- The President Smith window, also by McDonald, depicts St. James.
Other windows have followed, including President Bartlett’s memorial in 1905, a window designed and executed by Tiffany Studios according to The Dartmouth 26 (24 June 1905), 2.
