Joseph H. Choate '52, United States ambassador to England, is to present a stained glass window to St. Saviour's Church at Southwark, London, in memorial of John Harvard, who was baptized there. The ceremony will probably be held on May 15.
The memorial window, which has been made by Mr. John La Farge, is composed of six panels with three tracery pieces dominating them. The three lower openings illustrate the baptism of our Lord by Saint John the Baptist. Beneath this is inscribed: "In memory of John Harvard, founder of Harvard University in America, baptized in this church November 29, 1607." The three upper panels represent the arms and motto of Harvard, arms and motto of England, and the arms of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where John Harvard graduated.
