MEMORIAL WINDOW

UNVEILED AT ST. HILDA’S SCHOOL The memory of Bishop Richards, who for 38 years was chaplain of St. Hilda’s Collegiate School, and whose continued and faithful assistance during that period was invaluable, was perpetuated on Wednesday morning last when a memorial window, erected by the old girls of the school, was unveiled in the college’s private chapel. The central panel contains the image of the Good Shepherd, while on the two side panels are the Old Girls’ badge and the diocesan emblem. The window was designed and executed by Mr R. H. Fraser. The short service of dedication, which was attended by the pupils of the school, old girls and friends, was conducted by Bishop Fitchett, who was assisted by Dean Cruickshank and Archdeacon Whitehead, as bishop’s chaplain. The window was unveiled by Miss Ann Richards, Bishop Richard’s daughter, who was the first pupil enrolled at the college. The window, which bore the following inscription, was then unveiled by Miss Richards:— In Memoriam Isaac Richards Bishop of Dunedin, 1920-34 Chaplain of the school 1896-1934 Obiit 1936 This window was erected by the old girls, November 17, 1937.
