Harold W. Cummings

The artist that designed the stained glass windows in Gold Star Hall is Harold W. Cummings, a member of the Class of 1918, whose college program was interrupted by military service in World War I. It was appropriate that he should have been selected as the designer. In addition to designing the windows, Mr. Cummings supervised their construction and installation. In effect he was designing a memorial not only for those who gave their lives in that conflict, but also for his own comrades.

Mr. Cummings has designed and installed a number of other outstanding stained glass win-dows. Included among them are the chapel windows at the Presidio at San Francisco, the Captain Robert Dollar memorial window in the First Presbyterian Church at San Rafael, California, the windows for the Chapel at San Francisco University, and windows in the mausoleum at Woodlawn Memorial Park, San Francisco.
