Subject/Title of Window: Wesley Foundation and a Beehive

Brief Description of Subject: The left is dedicated to the Wesley Foundation. The head of a young man and women looking toward the future was the emblem of the student movement of the Methodist Church. On the right is a beehive. Early Christians used the symbol of the bee for immortality, but in later times the motif was used as a symbol of preaching and eloquence.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
