Confederate Stained Glass Window, Ventress Hall

Above the stairs of Ventress Hall, currently home to the College of Liberal Arts, an original Tiffany stained glass window depicts a mustering of the University Greys, a company of UM students and faculty who fought in the Civil War at the Battle of Gettysburg and participated in the infamous Pickett’s charge. Every member was wounded or killed at the Battle of Gettysburg.

Sponsored by the Delta Gamma sorority and the Alumni Association, the window was created by the Tiffany Glass Company in 1890 or 1891 for $506.
