All Saints' Chapel Historical Windows markers: handheld guides to windows commemorating centennial of the University of the South
-
These four handheld wooden markers narrate the scenes depicted in the four historical stained-glass windows installed in the University of the South's All Saints' Chapel western entrance (narthex), which were installed in 1958 to commemorate the centennial of the University's founding. The University Chaplain, the Rev. Peter Gray, removed the paddles from public display in 2020 because they do not accurately represent the University's history.
Scenes described in Paddle One: Bishop Polk’s Letter to Southern Bishops; Bishops Issue Manifesto; Foudning Meeting of the Board of Trustees; The University Domain; Planning the Campus; Laying the Cornerstone. Paddle Two: Blowing Up the Cornerstone; Planting the Cross [Second Founding]; Fund-Raising Trip to England; Opening of the University; Order of Gownsmen; The Gift of St. Luke [Charlotte Manigault].
