Stained glass
Stained glass windows in A. D. White Library, West Bay, representing crests of Oxford and Cambridge University Colleges, including (left to right): St. John's, Cambridge; unknown; Christ Church, Oxford; Trinity, Cambridge; unknown; and University College, Oxford.
White wanted to pay homage to the great European universities by including their coats of arms in the stained glass windows that encircle the library. Prominent among these is Oxford’s “Dominus illuminatio mea,” or “the Lord is my light,” the opening of Psalm 27. In the image below, three Oxford crests appear above the Library's north window, from left to right: Corpus Christi College, Oxford University, and Balliol College.
