Window Honoring J. Harvard Restored for London Church

A splintered stained-glass window, dedicated to the memory of the founder of Harvard University, was pieced together in New York City and rushed to London's Southwark Cathedral in time for its unveiling last Saturday.

The window, smashed by a German bomb in 1941, was placed in the chapel where John Harvard was baptized.

The jigsaw puzzle assignment went to the New York firm that originally made the window. The repair work was paid for by the Harvard Club of New York.

U. S. Ambassador Lewis W. Douglas, who had been expected to preside at the dedication ceremonies, was called away to a conference. His place was taken by Joseph Charles, first secretary and cultural officer of the U. S. embassy.
