The Memorial Transept

 

This memorial space boasts a 2,600 square foot marble floor, a sixty foot high wooden Gothic vault, two stained glass windows spanning 708 square feet each, black walnut paneling, stenciled walls and 28 white marble tablets bearing the names of 136 Harvard associates who fell on behalf of the Union cause during the Civil War. The youngest, Sumner Paine, class of 1865, fell at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, two years before his intended graduation. The Paul Joseph Revere listed is the grandson of the famous Paul Revere.

 

Three different stained-glass works have been installed in the north transept window. The original work designed for this window by Donald MacDonald was removed and replaced by Sarah Wyman Whitman’s Martin Brimmer Memorial Window in 1898. There are no records indicating the reason for the replacement nor the fate of the original north transept window. In 1902 or 1903, the Whitman window was transposed with MacDonald’s Virtues window which was originally installed in the south window. The transposition was made, presumably, to allow more light for the Brimmer Memorial Window.

 

Public viewing hours of the transept are dictated by the College’s academic calendar, the Sander’s Theater performance schedule and maintenance requirements. Typically, visitors may gain access to the transept on weekdays from 12:00 noon until 6:00 PM.

budget cuts budget cuts budget cuts

chopping choking cheating

until you're begging for admittance

for all nighters and dead unblinking eyes

locked onto the glowing blank screen

is this how we climb high?

 

education stripped down to its sleazy monetary motives

cranking the conveyor belt of future ceo's and closet crack addicts

 

let's not turn into those zombies

let's remember to actually think

let's die with a soul instead of being buried with benjamins or rollin in bentleys

fuck the economy

 

this isn't your resume

this is your life.

Wilhelm Meinhold, Sidonia the Sorceress, 1893.

 

Translated by Francesca Speranza, Lady Wilde.

 

Sidonia von Borcke (1548–1620) was a Pomeranian noblewoman who gained the enmity of various relatives she sued, several prioresses at the local abbey, and court-appointed officials brought in to investigate. Tried for witchcraft, she was sentenced to death by beheading and subsequent burning. Posthumously, she has been portrayed as a femme fatale. Oscar Wilde’s mother translated into English a mid-19th century German novel about Sidonia, which William Morris printed in a limited edition at the famed Kelmscott Press. The Pre-Raphaelites became fascinated by her. Several created paintings based on the novel, the most famous of which was by Edward Burne-Jones (shown here), depicting the young Sidonia and her aged counterpart just before her execution.
