St. Paul's Chapel
St Paul's Chapel was built between 1904 and 1907, and dedicated in 1907. It was not one of the few early campus buildings not designed by McKim, Mead, and White; instead, it was designed by the far more obscure firm of Howells & Stokes.
St. Paul's has a number of interesting architectural features. On the exterior, the Class of 1903 Bell is located outside roughly above the left column of the front portico. It rings at 9:30am on the day of University Commencement to signal the beginning of the student procession.
The University motto, In lumine tuo videbimus lumen, is carved above the main door.
The torchieres in front of the building were donated and originally from Venice.
The interior of the chapel, one of the prettiest on campus, features a Guastavino tiled roof and John LaFarge stained glass windows behind the altar. The stained glass windows in the roof rotunda features the coats of arms of prominent New York families from the early 20th century.
