Lewis and Clark Community College's photostream  

The Lucy window, located in Caldwell Hall, was removed as part of a major restoration project that has resulted in the recent removal of Lewis and Clark Community College's extensive stained and art glass collection. The window bears the name "Lucy" in honor of Lucy Stowell who is credited for making the first contribution to rebuild Monticello College after it was nearly destroyed by fire on Nov. 4, 1888. According to legend, on the Sunday morning after the fire, Lucy had twenty five cents to put in the Sunday school missionary collection. Instead, Lucy gave her money to Harriet Haskell, principal of Monticello, urging her to rebuild the college. This was the first gift received by Miss Haskell. In gratitude to the girl, the stained glass window was included when the new building was erected. It was placed over the fireplace in what was Haskell's library. Lucy Stowell later attended and graduated from Monticello in 1904.
