Subject/Title of Window: Hunt Memorial Window

Brief Description of Subject: The large stained glass window on the main stair landing of the League was donated by Ormand E. Hunt as a memorial to his wife Hazel (Hill) Hunt (1883-1927). While at UM, Hazel was by all accounts a "renaissance woman," very involved in literary and musical activities. The window is a fitting tribute to Hazel with the three lancets containing central scenes depicting maidens representing Science, Inspiration and Art. The key figure in the Art panel, surrounded by 5 other maidens, holds a palette and brush, while the Inspiration maiden), also surrounded by five maidens, holds the lamp of learning in her hand. The Science window's maiden holds a telescope. Very intricate silver stained leaf patterns make up the auxiliary panels. An inscription at the bottom memorializes Hazel Hill Hunt.

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.
