Fund Raising For Alumni Memorial Window

Fund-raising for Alumni Memorial Window commences at President Waterbury suggestion. The assembled graduates engaged in their first fund-raising event. To show their pride in the new Normal School Building being constructed on Willett Street across from Washington Park, they voted to commission Alumni Memorial Window for the Assembly Hall. A $5,000.00 fund-raising campaign was launched, chaired by Professor Albert N. Husted, SNS ‘55, for what was at that time the largest stained glass window in the United States. E. P. Treadwell Architect of Boston designs window, possibly completed by Tiffany & Co. A Class Committee was formed and a representative of each class was designated to raise funds from their classmates.
