George L. Payne in Paterson, N.J. The
manufacture of the glass took 14 months,
after a year of planning, research, and
sketching. Portraits were obtained from
the university archives, descendants, and
reference works. The likeness of the marshall
of the first procession at Lookout
Mountain was provided by the city officials
of a town bearing his name, Albert
Lea, Minn. Installation of the glass required
the services of a specialist, Geza
Zelinka of the George Payne Studios, who
came from New Jersey to practice his ancient
and delicate craft.

It is fitting that the three groups of
people most concerned with the University
of the South are memorialized in the
narthex windows: a member of the faculty,
Gen. Edmund Kirby-Smith; three
former students, Atlee H. Hoff of Decatur,
Ala., and his sons; and two Episcopalians,
Charles Tyler Miller and Peter
Charles Patrick.

The historical scenes of the narthex
windows have helped make All Saints'
Chapel of the University of the South a
point of pilgrimage for Episcopal travelers
- a Canterbury for Episcopalians
one enthusiast calls it. But there are also
many outside the Church who find at
Sewanee an example of the nation's best
pattern for the education of its sons -
the small religious-centered institution,
dedicated to excellence.

FOUNDING OF ST. LUKE'S SEMINARY (below): In 1876, Charlotte Morris Manigault
asked Bishop Quintard, in England to raise funds for Sewanee, what he
would suggest for a substantial gift. He told her to wait till next morning
when they "would meet at God's altar and there you shall decide." After the service shown here she told the bishop, "I want to build the theological school."
It was one of three or four most important moments in Sewanee's history.
