Tiffany/Duncan comment: Tiffany 1910 calls this the DuBois Memorial Window because W.E.B. DuBois organised the window with the Tiffany company [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, BULL1909, DEDUCED]
Comment: In March 1938 DuBois had an exchange of letters with President Rufus E. Clement of Atlanta University where DuBois suggested that the window be moved to his office because it was being neglected in its original location [WEBD1938]
