Architectural Interests
Saint Mary’s Episcopal College for Women had a chapel constructed in 1907. The chapel was designed in the traditional shape of a cross. In 1929, the chapel was enlarged to hold the large congregation of the cathedral, changing the traditional cross configuration into a rectangle.
The central stained-glass window of Saint Mary’s Episcopal College for Women is the Nativity scene, and on each side of it are windows relating to patron saints of women. Rather than replace these windows with the cathedral’s patron Saint Matthew, a stained-glass window of Saint Matthew was installed in the south transept.

Famous quotes containing the word interests:
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
