The Memorial Windows for Harvard.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Mr. Frederic Crowninshield, of New York, has just completed two stained glass windows to be placed in Memorial Hall by the class of 1863, in memory of their classmates who died during the war. The subject is from the sixth book of the Iliad and represents the parting of Hector from Andromache and his son Astyanax. The windows are five feet wide and fifteen feet high, and are of colored glass, no paint being used except in the flesh tones. The artist has been restricted in his use of the darker shades by the necessity of admitting as much light as possible into the Hall. One window is filled by the armed figure of Hector, while the other is given up to Andromache and her son. The work has been done wholly under Mr. Crowninshield's personal direction.
